CIRC4FooD: An urban food production system inspired by the circular economy
(Corresponding) Tsatsou A., Ioannides C., Noutsopoulos C., Tsimiklis G., Chrisomallos G., Tsiropoulos Z., Mamais D., Malamis S.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The environmental footprint of the current, linear food system is a key challenge that must be faced for a global transition to sustainability. Agricultural practices are drivers of polluting food production, while cities form critical hubs of wasteful food consumption. In this context, urban...Read more

The water tariff structure in the new Convergence Regulatory Scheme
(Corresponding) Macchiaroli M., Dolores L., De Mare G.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
The most recent innovation in the regulation of the Italian Urban Water Management is the introduction of the Convergence Regulatory Scheme. The new tariff preparation method introduced by the Italian Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks, and Environment (ARERA) aims to simplify the mechanism...Read more

The environmental benefits of small-scale timber frame dwellings for utilization of forested and rural remote areas in Greece
(Corresponding) Psilovikos T., (Corresponding) Stergiadou A., Moutsopoulos D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Wood is the only renewable material produced by photosynthesis. Wood has the ability to preserve the stored carbon in its molecular structure as long as remain within a structure. Small-scalelightweight timber dwellings are gaining recognition in Europe after the dominance of concrete and steel...Read more
Implementing Circular Economy in Wineries: The Case of Greece
(Corresponding) Kounani A., Sotiropoulou E., Seleventi M.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Grape is considered one of the largest fruit crops in the world, since its 2017 production, the vast majority of which was used in winemaking, reached 74 MT globally and 24 MT in the EU. The main target of this paper is to highlight the urgent need for transforming the linear model into a circular...Read more
Practical impediments to the effective utilization of Ballast Water Management Plan from Port facilities and Shipping practice
(Corresponding) BOVIATSIS M., Polemis D., Tselentis V.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Since the new Ballast Water Management Convention entered into force in 2017, the ballast water should be cleansed of any harmful aquatic organisms, pathogens, wastes or even bacteria, before being released into a new aquatic environment. For this purpose, the ships are required to carry i) a...Read more

The Implementation of Risk Management processes as a contributing factor to the minimization of shipping disasters through the study of previous shipping accidents
(Corresponding) BOVIATSIS M., Vlachos G.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Environmental disasters can maliciously affect property, human lives and even entire ecosystems. The magnitude and extent of such a disaster can lead to uncertainty about who is liable and how the restoration of the environmental damage will be achieved. The implementation of Risk Management...Read more
Evaluation of environmental impact assessment factors in maritime industry.
(Corresponding) BOVIATSIS M., Vlachos G., Daniil G.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
The environmental impact of shipping industry includes the pollution caused by vessels to air and water environment.
The water pollution is primarily caused by ship accidents and by untreated ballast water. To avoid maritime accidents, a complex system of regulations and safety management...Read more

Simulation of Consumption Water Scarcity Effect in Agriculture
(Corresponding) Ahmadzadeh_Kaleybar F., Aliabadi E.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
Models are the best methods to select most efficient irrigation method that would lead to high performance and yield response. In this research, the effect of Consumption Water Scarcity in Bilasuvar plain on the north-west of Iran has been simulated on Wheat and Corn crops using Budget soil and...Read more

A Water-Based Approach for Addressing RES Integration Challenges in Insular Energy Systems
(Corresponding) Tzanes G., Makropoulos C., Zafirakis D., Kaldellis J., Stamou A.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
High shares of RES-based power capacity in island electricity grids often imply significant energy curtailments of non-dispatchable power generation, which in turn limits islands’ capacity to leverage RES environmental and economic benefits. The presence of energy storage systems and/or grid...Read more

Towards decentralizing the energy system: production of bioenergy and bioproducts via anaerobic digestion
(Corresponding) VLACHOKOSTAS C., MICHAILIDOU A., (Corresponding) ACHILLAS C., (Corresponding) MOUSSIOPOULOS N.
Topic:
Biowaste
The model of circular economy has gained worldwide interest. Within its concept, biodegradable waste is viewed as a beneficial resource that needs to be re-introduced in the supply chains. The use of raw materials, energy, and water is also to be minimized. Undeniably, a strong link exists between...Read more
