Carbon Capture Utilization Potential in Malaysia
(Corresponding) Angelis-Dimakis A., Pieri T., Nicacio I., Vyrkou A., Arampatzis G., Dedousis P., Liew Z., Sim C., Yusup S.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Under the Paris agreement, Malaysia has set its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030 (35% of which is on an unconditional basis), having 2005 as the base year. Carbon capture and utilization, together with an increased use of renewable energy sources, will be one of the main...Read more

Solid Waste Reuse in the Balkan-Mediterranean Region
(Corresponding) Angelis-Dimakis A., Arampatzis G., Alexopoulos A., Pantazopoulos A., Angelis V.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
The wide implementation of circular economy and industrial symbiosis in the Balkan and Mediterranean region lags behind most of the other European countries. The economic crisis has had a significant impact to the local businesses, eliminating new investments. Regarding specifically solid waste,...Read more

Symbiotic actions for CO2 capture and utilization in Cyprus
DIMA C., ANGELIS-DIMAKIS A., (Corresponding) ARAMPATZIS G.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
CO2 capture and utilisation (CCU) is one of the main pillars of EU strategy towards the reduction of the greenhouse gases. The development of symbiotic actions between CO2-emitting industries and potential receivers not only contributes to the above advantages but also has the possibility of...Read more
Energy Supply of a Conference Center Towards Nearly Zero-Energy Building in Accordance with the Standards of the European Green Deal
SOUKOULI A., KALOGERAKIS A., ANGELIS-DIMAKIS A., (Corresponding) ARAMPATZIS G.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
In December 2019, the European Commission proposed the European Green Deal, a set of policy initiatives that aim to transform the European Union into a low carbon economy and achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Building renovation is a core element of the European Green Deal, promoting the...Read more

Second generation bioethanol production from household food wastes via a newly isolated yeast strain of Wickerhamomyces anomalus
Dazea D., Antonopoulou G., Alexandropoulou M., Ben Atitallah I., Mechichi T., (Corresponding) Ntaikou I., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The aim of the present study, was to investigate the efficiency of second generation bioethanol production from the pre-dried and shredded organic fraction of household food waste (food residue biomass, FORBI) using the newly isolated yeast Wickerhamomyces anomalus X19. W. anomalus is a...Read more
Optimization of decentralized treatment and sanitation of domestic wastewaters via constructed wetlands: The DOMUS_CW project
(Corresponding) Ntaikou I., Antonopoulou G., Vyrides I., Drakopoulos V., Dailianis S., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The DOMUS_CW project proposes the adoption of a simple, cost efficient and highly effective practice for the treatment of domestic/household wastewaters in rural areas of Balkan and Mediterranean (BalkanMed) countries, i.e. treatment via constructed wetlands (CWs). Two free surface flow CWs...Read more
Assessment of yields and properties of bioplastics production from acidified sugary wastewaters via mixed microbial cultures
Kora E., Tsaousis P., Andrikopoulos K., Chasapis C., (Corresponding) Ntaikou I., Voyiatzis G., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Bioplastics
A mixed microbial culture (MMC) of poly-hydroxy-alkanoates (PHAs) producers was developed in a draw- fill reactor (DFR) subjected to sequential nitrogen/carbon limitation stress using short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as carbon source. The distribution of microorganisms was analyzed in the beginning...Read more
Designing sustainable processes for the valorization of industrial and environmental waste streams towards industrializable polyhydroxyalkanoates
(Corresponding) Ntaikou I., Antonopoulou G., Kokkinopoulou I., Ladakis D., Tragoulias K., Zhang Y., Yan Q., Nan J., Pissaridi K., Spiliotis V., Ladikos D., Moutsatsou P., Koutinas A., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Bioplastics
In the present study different environmental and industrial waste streams are assessed as feedstock for the production of bioplastics adequate to be used for food packaging applications or for the formation of fully biodegradable garbage bags. For the production of bioplastics i.e...Read more
Forage crops nitrogen use efficiency changes under drought conditions
(Corresponding) Žaltauskaitė J., Dikšaitytė A., Miškelytė D., Sujetovienė G., Januškaitienė I., Kacienė G.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
Ensuring sustainable agriculture and food security is one of the biggest challenges under changing climate. The frequency and severity of droughts is increasing as a result of climate change. These extreme events may lead to decreased forage crop productivity and financial incomes. Forage crop...Read more

Occurrence and spatiotemporal variability of sunscreen agents along the polish part of the Baltic Sea coast
(Corresponding) ASTEL A., STEC M., ASTEL K.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
UV-filters accumulate in tissues of aquatic organisms and induce negative effects on fertility and reproduction. Since they are “new emerging pollutants” general monitoring programs are rare and mainly conducted in touristic places, where high temperatures are recorded throughout the year (Spain,...Read more
