Whole-cell biophotovoltaic (BPV) devices leverage photoautotrophic microorganisms like cyanobacteria to convert sunlight and water into bioelectricity. They are capable of growing on sequestered carbon dioxide (CO2), eliminating the need to add exogenous o ...

Cities are facing unprecedented challenges to their environments and residents due to continuous growth, including urban overheating, daylight accessibility, noise, and air pollution. This requires a holistic approach to the research and implementation of ...

The Paris Agreement is the first-ever universally accepted and legally binding agreement on global climate change. It is a bridge between today's and climate-neutrality policies and strategies before the end of the century. Critical to this endeavor is ene ...

Existing daylight standards encourage larger glazed areas, which often results in larger solar gains in the summer and heat losses in the winter. To avoid these, shadings, thicker frames and multiple panes of glass are required to respect operational energ ...

Building Replacement (BR), involving demolition and immediate reconstruction on the same site, is a key urban strategy with major environmental impacts, including waste generation, resource depletion, and increased embodied carbon emissions. Despite its im ...

Permafrost is a crucial part of the Earth's cryosphere. These millennia-old frozen soils not only are significant carbon reservoirs but also store a variety of chemicals. Accelerated permafrost thaw due to global warming leads to profound consequences such ...

An exponential rise in the atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (VPD) is among the most consequential impacts of climate change in terrestrial ecosystems. Rising VPD has negative and cascading effects on nearly all aspects of plant function including photos ...

In this study we present the role of the Planetary Boundary Layer Height (PBLH) on the air pollutant concentrations measured at an urban background station at the megacity of Athens, Greece, an area characterized by complex topography. For this purpose, we ...

A compact operations research (OR) model is proposed to analyse the prospects of meeting the Paris Agreement targets when direct air capture technologies can be used or not. The main features of the model are (i) the representation of the economy and energ ...

Phasing out coal-fired electricity is an urgent global task, critical to efforts to mitigate climate change and air pollution. Despite the growth and increasing competitiveness of renewable energy, phase-out progress is slow, with coal-fired power even rea ...

Due to the large waste of heat in the power and industrial sectors, our use of energy is inefficient. Moreover, it relies on rapidly depleting and greenhouse-gas-emitting sources such as fossil fuels. While the scarcity of energy resources is a relevant so ...

Facing the dilemma of mitigating carbon emissions and growing energy demand, this paper proposes a hierar-chical electricity-carbon trading mechanism for virtual federated prosumers (VFPs) in regional markets. At the inter-regional level, a trading platfor ...

Autocatalytic reactions were proposed to play a key role at the beginning of life starting from the first reduction of CO2 to formate, acetate and C-1-C-4 hydrocarbons. In carbon capture and utilization (CCU) processes, the same reactions were demonstrated ...

In this work we explore the impact that changes in local climate and river hydrology have on the morphody-namics of a river delta, particularly focusing on the evolution of the delta generating at the lake inlet. We investigated the case of the delta in th ...

Global drive away from fossil feedstock requires the development of synthetic procedures to enhance the efficiency of CO2 capture and utilization processes using renewable starting materials and catalysts. Here, we report an alternative reaction pathway fo ...

With the energy transition and CO2 emissions reduction as a priority on the international policy agenda, governments worldwide are trying to engage the population in investing in renewable energies. In this paper, we study the role of information access an ...
