Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Climate change and its environmental effects have raised the need to use mild forms of energy. Solar photovoltaic panels and wind turbines are by far the biggest drivers of the rapid increase in renewable energy electricity generation. There are several technologies of photovoltaic systems such as...Read more
FeBio: R&D of novel 75 kWel AD plant for difficult agricultural residues: horse manure, straw and green waste
(Corresponding) Porzig M., Wern B., Pertagnol J.
Topic:
New solutions for a better and sustainable agriculture
Substrates for biogas production will be provided mainly by residues in future. Without a complex and expensive pre-treatment, solid residues with dry matter (DM) content higher than 30%, e.g. horse manure, husk, grass or straw can only be used in small quantities in a wet anaerobic digestion (AD)...Read more
The Circular Economy Shift for Business Models: Creating value from waste in the Peach Canning industry
(Corresponding) Paraskevopoulou C., Vlachos D.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
With the Circular Economy (CE) concept emerging, the reorganization of the supply chain (SC) and the reengineering of its processes is highlighted. In Greece, industrialized agriculture and more specifically the peach canning industry can be an important factor for the economy within and outside...Read more

Sampling Strategies of Microplastic in Stormwater Runoff from Separate Drainage Systems
(Corresponding) Abusafia A., Scheid C., Meurer M., Altmann K., Braun U., Bannick C., Dittmer U., Steinmetz H.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The occurrence of microplastic in terrestrial and water environments can be traced back to anthropogenic activities. Urban drainage systems play a role in transporting microplastic from urban sources into receiving waters or soils. The analysis (including sampling, sample preparation and detection...Read more
