Eco-insights on hydrocarbon bioremediation

Microorganisms are ubiquitous in the biosphere, influenced by both their surrounding environment and the biotic and abiotic factors of ecosystems. Contaminated areas often harbor species adept at utilizing pollutants as nutrients, thus enhancing their resilience to environmental pressures. Identifying and characterizing these species can significantly benefit bioremediation processes. To contribute to this unde...

Mini-Project of Ethanol Production from Waste as a Teaching Methodology

The development of sustainable alternative fuel, energy and chemical products is happening all over the world. Some of the main reasons for this increase are the increasing demand for fuel and energy due to population growth and economic development; climate change and the need for decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; enhancement of waste recovery efforts to redirect waste away from landfills and decrease...

Analysis of Seawater Electrolysis Technologies for Green Hydrogen Production

The main goal of this study is to understand the technical and economic feasibility of installing and operating a seawater desalination plant to supply water to a GW-scale water electrolysis process. That hydrogen production facility should be powered by dedicated renewable energy sources such as wind and solar photovoltaic. The announcement of significant investments in hydrogen production in the Sines region ...

Relevance of sulfur content from waste feedstock for biodiesel production

Contribution of sustainable fuels for the future of the energy sector

The main driving forces of the development of alternative energy are growing energy demand combined with the search for energy independence and environmental issues, such as global warming. Throughout this chapter, the sustainability of the currently most used alternative fuels, their characteristics, applica- tions, global consumption, and demand data will be discussed. The different strategies and policies fo...

Potential of native microorganisms in Tagus Estuary

The contribution of urban domestic waste management to the circular economy: th...

In line with the European community's goal, each EU Member State should recycle at least 60% of municipal waste or prepare them for reuse. In this chapter, the authors intend to show the waste management strategies implemented in six European countries, namely, Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Latvia, Portugal, and Romania. The methodology used was to analyse reports and publications on the management of urban waste ...
