Technological solutions for giving a new life to power plants of alternative energy: social, economic, and environmental assessment of end of life scenarios

(Corresponding) Ambrosino C., Giaquinto D., Maselli G., Nesticò A., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.

Topic:

Energy technologies and sustainability

The resources on the planet are not unlimited and special attention has been paid to alternative energies in recent years. Alternative (or renewable) energy are all those energy sources that do not come from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). To date, wind and solar energy are the main...Read more

The potential impact of an implementation of microalgae-based wastewater treatment on the energy balance of a municipal WWTP in Central Europe

(Corresponding) Hasport N., Krahe D., Kuchendorf C., Theilen U., Beier S.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

The integration of a photobioreactor for wastewater treatment by microalgae is proposed as a future alternative for cost-efficient and environmentally friendly nitrogen and phosphorous removal in municipal WWTPs. The high growth rates and higher biogas yields (compared to conventional sewage sludge...Read more

Desalinated Water and Power for a Seaside Hotel: A Case Study using Off-grid Solar and Wind

Tounsi A., Ghamgui M., (Corresponding) Tadeo F.

Topic:

Environmental management and policies

A hybrid combination of solar and wind energies for a remote seaside hotel is analyzed. More specifically, a hotel in Hammamet, Tunisia, powered by photovoltaic panels and a wind turbine is evaluated, with water generated by desalination using reverse osmosis. This isolated accommodation...Read more
