This research aims at controlling the processes involved in wastewater treatment to reduce emissions of CH4 and N20. The main objectives are:
- to quantify the emissions(at lab-scale and full-scale)
- to identify the underlying mechanisms of GHG formation
- to translate this knowledge into a mathematical model
- the development and testing of adequate control strategies
IW-NET will deliver a multimodal optimisation process across the EU Transport System, increasing the modal share of IWT and supporting the EC’s ambitions to reduce transport GHG emissions by two thirds by 2050. Enablers for sustainable infrastructure management and innovative vessels will support an efficient and competitive IWT sector addressing infrastructure bottlenecks, insufficient IT integration along the chain and slow adoption of ...
There is an increasing awareness and concern about human consumption of fossil fuels, and how its consequences are affecting the climate. Global warming has been proven beyond doubt, and there is a broad consensus among climate scientists that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activity are causing it. A significant share of these emissions originates in the burning of fossil fuels to generate electricity. Global electricity ...
Decarbonization of the transportation sector is of paramount importance in the effort to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and anthropogenic climate change. If left unchecked, shipping will account for a significant portion of these GHG emissions in the future, and therefore there is substantial motivation to introduce technologies that can reduce the carbon intensity of the shipping industry. One such solution is the adoption of wind ...
