Topic: 
Drinking water and health
Non-revenue water (NRW) is the volume of water participating in urban water supply processes, which does not generate revenues for the water utility company and it is divided into the water losses and the unbilled consumption. In the era of sustainable water resources management, the reduction of...Read more

Electricity generators in the European Union emissions trading system: definitional aspects in the light of a judicial decision

(Corresponding) Tzouvaras N.
Topic: 
Carbon market
The "electricity generator" definition (introduced through Directive 2009/29/EC, based on electricity sale and effective since 1.1.2005) is significant within the European Union greenhouse gases Emissions Trading System (ETS). Established through Directive 2003/87/EC, ETS currently (2021-...Read more

Monioudi I., Andreadis O., Chatzistratis D., Chalazas T., (Corresponding) Hasiotis T., Velegrakis A., Monioudis E., Mettas C., Koutsantonaki C.
Topic: 
Beach erosion of island beaches In Eastern Mediterranean (Greece and Cyprus): assessment, monitoring and Management
This contribution presents an example of a detailed beach inventory that can provide a comprehensive understanding of beach characteristics, using as a case study the island of Chios. The inventory was assembled using various sources, such as satellite imagery, optical information/tools provided by...Read more

Insights gained from stormwater e-monitoring in Viimsi, Estonia

(Corresponding) Suits K., Rajarao G., Kändler N., Vassiljev A., Annus I.
Topic: 
IoT-based environmental monitoring
The Baltic Sea is at risk from urban societies' diffuse pollution, which includes harmful substances, nutrients, and marine debris. Stormwater, the primary means by which these pollutants are transported, is typically evaluated through the collection and analysis of grab samples, which show...Read more

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) Production from the Liquid Fraction of dried/shredded Food Waste

Filippou K., Bouzani E., Kora E., Ntaikou I., (Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Lyberatos G.
Topic: 
Bioplastics
An enriched culture of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs)-forming bacteria was developed using the liquid fraction (condensate) which is generated during drying and shredding of food waste. A mixed enriched culture was used for the production of PHAs, in two Draw-Fill Reactors (DFRs). The culture was...Read more

Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The aim of the study was to assess the ecological condition of soils in three regions in Armenia - Hrazdan, Gavar, and Martuni. It was shown that the soil samples from the three regions had low humus content in winter. However, in spring and summer, a significant increase in humus content was...Read more
