Production and Use of Biogas and Biomethane from Waste for Climate Neutrality and Development of Green Economy

Journal of Ecological Engineering, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 25(2), P. 20 - 32

Published: Dec. 30, 2023

The following article provides an analysis of the current state and potential development biogas biomethane production, their significance in promoting a "green" economy.The main areas economy focus were identified as alternative energy sources, effective waste management system with recycling, organic agriculture, improved water resource ecosystem management, sustainable ("green") transport, well increased efficiency housing communal sectors.It was shown that production use biogas/ can contribute to achieving almost all these goals, while also ensuring climate neutrality.Analysis European experience using for biogas/biomethane reveals steady trend industry.This growth has become particularly relevant full-scale Russian invasion Ukraine, which impacted market.The report assessed Ukraine's from various origins, highlighting its importance addressing supply issues, both times peace during periods martial law destruction.Successful cases Ukraine analyzed, demonstrating some enterprises are equipped produce biomethane.The research findings used develop recommendations Ukrainian manufacturers on expedite transition towards climate-neutral, economy.

Innovative approaches to soil health: evaluating pruning waste compost, inoculated compost, and mineral fertilizer in a controlled growth chamber for sustainable vineyard practices

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9

Published: Feb. 18, 2025

Healthy and fertile soils are the foundation of sustainable global agriculture, supporting both intensive extensive crop cultivation, including orchards vineyards across diverse agroecosystems. However, widespread use synthetic fertilizers has degraded soil organic matter overall quality, leading to significant environmental consequences threats ecosystem services. Challenges in accessing mineral fertilizers, along with growing concerns over sustainability, have driven interest alternative approaches such as compost, biofertilizers, biopesticides, microbiome-based strategies enhance fertility reduce chemical inputs agriculture. Compost derived from grapevine pruning waste shows promise addressing agricultural challenges, but further research is needed understand its effects on nutrient release dynamics microbial activity. Inoculating compost a fungal consortium presents an innovative strategy cycling interactions, availability challenges. This study aimed evaluate impact three fertilization methods health: NPK (mineral fertilizer), PWC (pruning compost), iPWC inoculated consortia). Conducted 135 days controlled growth chamber, fifteen pots received equal macronutrient doses. Environmental parameters (humidity, temperature, light/dark cycles) were closely monitored. Throughout experiment, key nutrients, enzyme activity, community responses rigorously assessed. The results showed that fungi significantly enhanced enzymes activities. Microbial activity was higher treatments, greater functional diversity observed fertilizer treatment. released major minerals more slowly than while enhancing available fraction. These findings underscore compost’s potential, especially when supplemented fungi, improve health promote practices regeneration.

How to square the circle? A conceptual framework synergising strategies for circular agriculture to tackle climate change and enhance overall on-farm sustainability

AMBIO, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 10, 2025

Abstract There is an urgent need to change the current extractive and resource-intensive agricultural practices. Adopting circular practices within system could provide multiple benefits of slowing global climate change, reducing helping farmers adapt a changing climate. However, there are still many barriers for adopt these desired agriculture (CA) practices, among others, lack information about on-farm support in recognising which strategies can increase circularity their farm what this means terms farms’ neutrality its long-term sustainability. Therefore, aim paper develop novel conceptual framework facilitate broader integrated understanding how CA contribute goals mitigation sustainability, thus supporting transitioning farms towards greater circularity.
