Peat is a fossil material and is since decades the major growing media constituent for horticulture in Europe. Because of its climate impacts, some European countries developed national strategies to reduce peat use. A coordinated European action would bring fairer and more effective impacts...

Moor- und weitere organische Böden speichern große Mengen an organischem Bodenkohlenstoff. Dies umfasst nicht nur nach deutscher Nomenklatur typische Moorböden, sondern auch ein breites Spektrum von weiteren Böden mit hohen Bodenkohlenstoffgehalten (Corg), die eine Moorvergangenheit haben....

Economic historians have debated the importance of energy for economic development. Energy economists would argue that energy systems need to be adaptable in the face of shocks. In this light, we consider the case of Denmark, a country which was almost entirely dependent on imports of coal, and...

In this era, energy and environmental sustainability is a priority in most African countries developmental agenda. The need for energy equity and security in Rwanda is a priority and thus this paper illustrate the current peat resources and their energy potential which can be mined to meet...

Industrielle Produktionssysteme basieren derzeit auf einem erheblichen Verbrauch fossiler Ressourcen. Die Reduzierung der Treibhausgasemissionen, die bei der Gewinnung und Verarbeitung dieser Ressourcen in die Atmosphäre gelangen, ist ein Haupttreiber für die Entwicklung von Substituten für...

Co-combustion performance trials of Meat and Bone Meal (MBM) and peat were conducted using a bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) reactor. In the combustion performance trials the effects of the co-combustion of MBM and peat on flue gas emissions, bed fluidization, ash agglomeration tendency in the bed...

One tactic for mitigating climate change associated with human-origin CO2 releases is to promote C storage in biomass, particularly trees. The economic value of C storage associated with woodland can be compared to the costs (or benefits) of other strategies for mitigating climate change. Models...

This paper analyses the economical viability of replacing fossil energy by renewable sources by taking CO<SUB align="right">2</SUB> emission legislation into account. A single chemical industry case, formic acid production, is studied in a tangible manner to provide a concrete example for industrial managers and...</sub>

Studies have been conducted in the composting of fisheries processing wastes with peat as a means of recovering the valuable biomass present in the fish waste. Subsequently, extracts from this compost were utilized as a substrate source in the growth of microorganisms in submerged fermentation....
