The limitation of the methane (CH4) emission in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin as a result of the Polish Mining Group closing program.

Dreger M.

Topic:

Air pollution

Hard coal mining is responsible for 9% of the worldwide methane emission to the atmosphere. Methane is the second strongest greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, but its radiative power is 25-30 times stronger than the radiative power of CO2 .In the Polish reality, hard coal mining is one of the...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

An integrated and comprehensive tool to assess urban mobility strategies

(Corresponding) Huertas J., Huertas M.

Topic:

Air pollution

Transport planning is a challenging topic to be addressed in urban areas in order to create sustainable cities, due to the adverse health effects, noise and congestions generated by the transport sector. Therefore, policymakers require technical tools that allow to take regulatory transport...Read more

Design of Road-Side Barriers to Mitigate Air Pollution near Roads

(Corresponding) Huertas J., Aguirre J., Lopez O., Lopez C.

Topic:

Air pollution

The effects of using solid barriers on the dispersion of air pollutants emitted from the traffic of vehicles on roads located over flat areas were quantified, aiming to identify the geometry that maximizes the mitigation effect of air pollution near the road at the lowest barrier cost. Toward that...Read more

Evaluation of atmospheric pollutants dispersion using CFD numerical models

Fernández Pacheco V., (Corresponding) Antuña Yudego E., Suárez López M., Carús Candás J., Álvarez Álvarez E.

Topic:

Air pollution

This paper describes the approach of studying air pollution by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. It also includes a report of a series of investigations performed in order to illustrate the potential of such models with the aim to give a solution to the dispersion to resolve the...Read more

ENERGY TRANSITION IN WEST MACEDONIA. WHAT IS THE PUBLIC ATTITUDE OF THE LOCAL SOCIETY?

Boulogiorgou D., Kondili E., Triantafyllou A., (Corresponding) Kaldellis J.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

In view of the EU decarbonization policy implementation, the Greek government has recently decided the permanent retirement of lignite based thermal power stations (TPS) of West Macedonia, being in operation since the 70’s. For the last fifty years, the Public Power Corporation has undertaken the...Read more
