Improving aquaculture environmental footprint utilizing offshore renewable energy
(Corresponding) LILAS T., Antoniou E., Kotrikla A., Vatistas A., Dagkinis I.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The main environmental impacts of aquaculture include eutrophication, chemical pollution and harm to sensitive marine ecosystems. At the same time, the required energy leads to high emissions of greenhouse gases. Offshore wind turbines are a sector of renewable energy that grows rapidly. Offshore...Read more

Can the seasonal variability affect the BMP of fruit and vegetable waste?
(Corresponding) Scotto di Perta E., Lamboglia R., Cesaro A., Frunzo L., Esposito G., Papirio S.
Topic:
Food waste
Fruit and vegetable waste (FVW), largely produced in open markets, is characterized by highly putrescible materials, thus being a proper substrate for anaerobic digestion. This study investigated the effect of the seasonal variation of FVW, on the biochemical methane potential (BMP). To this end,...Read more

Seasonal variation of the biochemical methane potential of fruit and vegetable wastes produced in the Mediterranean area
Kalogiannis A., Vasiliadou I., (Corresponding) Stamatelatou K.
Topic:
Food waste
Fruit and vegetable wastes produced massively in open markets are a suitable feedstock for biogas production and digestate of high fertilizing value. A first step of designing anaerobic digestion systems for treating these wastes efficiently is to study the impact of the seasonal variation on the...Read more

Evaluation of viable anode material for bioelectricity production in Microbial Fuel Cell
Gautam R., Nayak J., (Corresponding) Ghosh U.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology is based on bioelectrochemical system, extract power from organic load of the wastes to produce bio-electricity. The present study have evaluated the effect of the different electrode materials in two sets of mediator-less H- type double chambered MFC operated...Read more

Topic:
Environmental management and policies
A series of courses in environmental education, specialized in sustainable agribusiness, was given in the framework of the «Geo-ergon Paideia» project (in Greek: Γεωργών Παιδεία – Γεωργών Παιδιά). «Geo-ergon Paideia» was a transnational exchange program which aimed at training school students of...Read more
Revealing the Hidden Toxin of the Bottom Ashes from Open Municipal Waste Burning
(Corresponding) Ramadan B., Rosmalina R., (Corresponding) Rachman I., (Corresponding) Matsumoto T.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Bottom ashes caused by open waste burning (OWB) contains a large amount of metal, which can harm human health when exposed directly to human or leached into the waterways. This study aims to reveal the metal in the bottom ashes and its potential health impact. Laboratory field studies which consist...Read more
