Influence of microbial fuel cell integration on organic matter and nutrient removal in a constructed wetland for wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Gonzalez T., Miranda J., Vidal G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The combination of constructed wetlands (CWs) and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has emerged in recent years with the purpose of enhancing wastewater treatment efficiency of CWs while simultaneously generating electricity. Taking the above into account, the aim of this study is to evaluate the...Read more
Coal ash zeolite as a self-catalytic-chemisorption system for conversion of carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Zgureva D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
At present, the developments of sustainable carbon capture technologies are of the main scientific and technological priority required to mitigate the over generation of greenhouse gases. Three CO2 clean energy production approaches have been outlined: pre-combustion capture, oxy-fuel combustion...Read more

Nitrogen co-doped with fluorine on reduced graphene oxide for enhanced electrocatalytic activity and stability for ORR in alkaline fuel cells
Musico Y., Labata M., (Corresponding) Chuang P., Ocon J.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Nitrogen co-doped with fluorine on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was prepared by one-pot hydrothermal treatment method. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and X-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS) spectra revealed the successful doping of nitrogen and fluorine into the rGO. The Brunauer-...Read more
A comparative analysis between EU MRV and IMO DCS – the need to adopt a harmonised regulatory system
(Corresponding) Boviatsis M., Tselentis B.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
This paper analyses and compares the two methods proposed for monitoring, reporting and verifying CO2 emissions from shipping, namely the European Union MRV Regulation (EU 2015/757) and the Global Data Collection System of the IMO for fuel oil consumption of ships adopted as an amendment to MARPOL...Read more

The Agia Zoni II oil spill: Short-term fate and imprint on the marine ecosystem of the Saronikos Gulf, Greece
(Corresponding) Parinos C., Hatzianestis I., Chourdaki S., Plakidi E., Gogou A.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
Herein we examine the spatial and temporal imprint of the September 2017 Agia Zoni II tanker heavy fuel oil spill on the marine ecosystem of the Saronikos Gulf, Greece. Based on the chemical fingerprinting approach, by means of gas chromatography - flame ionization detector and gas chromatography–...Read more

Wind and solar photovoltaic technologies have seen tremendous growth during the past decade and various policy measures have been introduced in support of their growth. For the cases of...Read more
A comparative analysis upon the utilization of exhaust gas cleaning systems, LNG fuels or conventional fuels as the most viable options to comply with the new IMO Low Sulfur Cap Regulations
(Corresponding) Boviatsis M.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
Since the decrease of the global sulfur limit from 3.5% to 0,5% by the International Maritime Organization on 1-1-2020, the ship-owners and carriers are obliged to elect between the three available options in order to comply with the present regulatory amendments. The first available option is the...Read more
