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

Using multiregional environmentally extended input-output assessment to quantify the carbon footprint of peach production
BAÑALES B., (Corresponding) SAN MIGUEL G., NÚÑEZ P., DIEZMA B., ÁLVAREZ S., CORREA E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The main objective of this investigation is to analyse the validity of multiregional input-output methodology to evaluate the environmental performance of peach production using a life cycle approach. The analysis is based on a detailed sectorial economic foreground inventory applicable to the...Read more

Environmental life cycle assessment of nectarine as produced in Southeast Spain
NÚÑEZ P., (Corresponding) SAN MIGUEL G., BAÑALES B., DIEZMA B., CORREA E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The aim of this work is to evaluate the environmental
performance of fruit production using Life Cycle Assessment considering the case study of nectarines produced in the Murcia Region (Southeast Spain). The investigation was carried out according to ISO 14040/14044 using a cradle to grave...Read more

Use of food waste as culture media in biocementation for ground improvement applications
Mwandira W., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Gunn M., Gray C.
Topic:
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
The paper investigates the use of mixed fruit and vegetable (FV) waste to extract liquid to grow bacteria. The bacteria will be used to induce biocementation of soils and two metabolic pathways are examined. These are the ureolytic pathway and the carbonic anhydrase pathway (which absorbs CO2)...Read more
