The EU is a world leader in the generation of marine energy, with a capacity of 27.9MW for tidal energy and 12MW for wave energy installed in Europe since 2010 and an increasing horizon with up to 100MW as capacity for ocean energy for 2025. The structures aimed at generating this energy are subject to extreme operational and environmental conditions in the ocean; hence their monitoring maintenance strategies are very challenging. This ...

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is widely applied, resulting in volume reduction and biogas production. However, high heavy metal (HM) ...
