Regenerative Architecture is a conscious practice that seeks to create projects that benefit all impacted spheres, whether environmental, social or technical. The main aim is to have a qualitative and positive impact on the environment while bringing all u ...
The pursuit of alternative energy sources for the nitrogen fertilizers sector has recently earned renewed interest due to increasing concerns regarding the world dependence on non-renewable energy resources and also motivated by the more stringent environm ...
Retaining structures above groundwater level support soils that are usually in a state of partial saturation and subject to the actions of atmospheric agents. The current design approach considers the possible extremes of soil conditions - either totally d ...
The contamination of water resource and food chain by persistent organic pollutants (POPs) constitutes a major environmental and human health concern worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of POPs in irrigation water, soil and in Am ...
Human activities are resulting in many land-use changes, particularly due to urbanisation and intensification of agricultural practices. Because of these changes, in addition to climate change, many species are facing habitat degradation. In order to avoid ...
The paper addresses the outcomes of the analysis of state-of-the-art indicator-based approaches for the environmental impact assessment to quantify the impact of natural resources consumption. Life cycle based assessment methods are applied on the case of ...
Microbial-induced calcite precipitation is a biochemical process of biomineralization. The process form mineral crystals composed of calcium carbonate and if precipitated into a sand matrix can lead to the formation of sandstone. The sandstone created in s ...
Environmental concern requires manufacturers to extend the domain of their control and responsibility across the product's life cycle. Much of the research has concentrated on assessment of environmental performance through the application of the Life Cycl ...
The black liquor is a byproduct of the kraft pulping process that contains more than half of the exergy content in the total woody biomass fed to the digester, representing a key supply of renewable energy to the pulping process. In this work, the conventi ...
The signature of international commitments such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the COP21 Paris Agreement in 2015 demonstrates a current favourable policy context to address environmental issues. These engagements have been endorsed by the ...
