Assessing the Effect of Temperature and Biomass Composition for Hydrogen Production through Gasification
(Corresponding) Ramos A.
Topic:
11. ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
Sustainable forest biomass management is essential for ecological balance, rural economies, and climate change mitigation. Biomass residues—branches, thinnings, and wood waste—can enhance forest health and reduce fire hazards, promoting regeneration, and enabling renewable energy production...Read more
The role of methylparaben as an environmental contaminant in enhancing the pathogenicity of drinking water bacteria
(Corresponding) Pereira A., Gomes I., Simões M.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Parabens, commonly used as preservatives in personal care products, can affect drinking water (DW) environmental microbial communities, posing an emerging global concern for public health. This study examines the impact of MP at 15 µg/L on the virulence of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and...Read more
Thermochemical Heat Storage: heat and mass transfer modelling in the reactor
(Corresponding) Dutournie P., Scuiller E., Guicheney G.
Topic:
11. ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
The global increase in demand for raw materials and energy is a source of geopolitical concerns and tensions, and this is leading governments and industries to secure their resources and supplies. This observation leads companies and also countries to secure operational supply by improving system...Read more
Keywords:
Thermochemical heat storage, numerical modelling, experimental validation, heat and mass transfer
Exposome, Ultrafine Particles, and Glioblastoma: A New Perspective
(Corresponding) Gago-Ferrero P., Gutierrez-Martin D., Nika M., Vidal-Sarro N., Bruna J., Majós C., Pons A.
Topic:
10. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & WELL-BEING
Glioblastomas (GBM) are the most common primary brain tumors in adults, but their causes remain largely unknown. Environmental exposures are suspected to play a role; however, the data is limited due to analytical challenges and the difficulty of obtaining brain samples for cohort studies. This...Read more
Impact of biodegradable bioplastics on anaerobic co-digestion of household organic waste and wastewater sludge
Ferreri M., Pedullà A., Pangallo D., (Corresponding) Calabrò P.
Topic:
4. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
The growing adoption of biodegradable bioplastics, such as Mater-Bi (MB) and Crystalline Polylactic Acid (CPLA), as substitutes for conventional plastics has raised questions about their environmental behaviour. This research investigates how these two materials de-grade during anaerobic co-...Read more
Keywords:
Anaerobic digestion; Biodegradable plastic; Crystalline polylactic acid; Mater-Bi; Organic fraction of municipal solid waste
Sustainable production of Omega-3-rich fish oil from Tuna by-products using green extraction process
Pedullà A., Ferreri M., Pangallo D., (Corresponding) Calabrò P.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for human health, yet the increasing global demand necessitates the exploration of sustainable alternative sources, such as fishery by-products. An innovative and environmentally friendly extraction method, previously applied to small fish by-products, was employed...Read more
Urban settlements adaptation. Measures for neighbourhood plans
(Corresponding) Cicalese F., Grimaldi M., Fasolino I.
Topic:
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
Urban areas are particularly vulnerable to climate change due to the presence of a high proportion of population, economic activities, real estate and water, energy and transport infrastructure; extreme weather events climate events such as heavy rainfall, droughts and heat waves, cause impacts...Read more
PhotoBioValue project: Linking N:P Ratios and Nitrogen Sources to Microalgae-Based Wastewater Bioremediation and Biomass Valorisation
(Corresponding) Sousa S., Machado C., Esteves A., Salgado E., Dias J., Vilaça J., Pires J.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Microalgae-based systems offer potential for wastewater bioremediation by extracting nutrients while producing biomass for various uses. However, variations in wastewater properties, particularly the source of nitrogen and phosphorus, their concentration, and the N:P ratio, impact treatment...Read more
Advancing Organisational Life Cycle Assessment in the Fashion Industry: Strategies for Sustainable Corporate Practices
Ahmed S., (Corresponding) Liscio M., Sospiro P., Voukkali I., Zorpas A.
Topic:
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
The fashion industry, particularly fast fashion, is one of the most environmentally destructive sectors, accounting for 10% of global carbon emissions and consuming ap-proximately 93 billion cubic meters of water annually. Textile production alone is responsible for 20% of global clean water...Read more

Navigating Urban Spaces: The Enablers and Barriers of Micromobility
Ahmed S., Sospiro P., Vangi D., Gulino M., Laschi M.
Topic:
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
This policy paper examines micromobility's transformative role within urban transportation, highlighting its potential to enhance sustainability, accessibility, and livability. Micromobility, defined by lightweight vehicles such as e-bikes and scooters, presents viable solutions for reducing...Read more
