The document summarizes an innovative new soil opening technology called ISOT. It finds that ISOT is superior to current planting technologies in requiring less fuel, producing lower carbon emissions, and having higher crop yields. ISOT has the potential to significantly reduce atmospheric CO2 levels through large-scale adoption of zero-tillage farming practices. The technology could help reverse soil degradation and pollution caused by conventional agriculture.

This document outlines a study to develop a laboratory scale reactor to generate hydrogen rich synthesis gas (syngas) via thermochemical conversion of sustainable fuels like propane and biomass waste glycerol. Cold flow experiments were conducted to establish the minimum spouting velocity for a conical spouted bed reactor. Thermodynamic equilibrium analysis was used to qualitatively select operating parameters like pressure, temperature and reactant ratios for dry reforming, partial oxidation, steam reforming and autothermal reforming of propane. Experimental results from a plug flow reactor showed that autothermal reforming is most suitable for producing syngas with high hydrogen content and carbon-free products. Preliminary studies explored using nickel-based catalysts supported
Geopolymer concrete is a type of concrete that is made by reacting aluminate and
silicate bearing materials with a caustic activator. Commonly, waste materials such as fly ash or
slag from iron and metal production are used, which helps lead to a cleaner environment. Since,
the current usage of fly ash in India is still around 25% and below 45% even in the developed
countries like United States, there is a huge scope for fly ash in upcoming years. So let us harness
a billion dollar resource that has been wasted so far.
Capitalizing multiferroic properties of BiFeO3 for spintronicsIOSR Journals

This presentation discusses admission-related problems faced by students at North South University in Bangladesh. It notes that while mismanagement is often blamed, the university's admission system faces real issues that diminish its value and brand. Specifically, unethically admitting some students results in deserving candidates not being enrolled, and impacts the quality of graduates as undeserving students often drop out partway. The presentation argues that both the university authority and students must take responsibility to maintain North South University's reputation.

Achievements In Industrial Ozone Bleaching Germer, Metais & HostachyJCHostachy
Industrial ozone bleaching has proven to be a reliable and economical option for pulp bleaching over the last 30 years. 22 mills worldwide now use ozone bleaching, which provides similar or better pulp quality compared to conventional bleaching while reducing chemical costs. Ozone bleaching also lowers effluent volumes and improves quality. Several case studies show that ozone bleaching improves strength properties and lowers bleaching costs by at least 20% compared to conventional bleaching. Ozone bleaching is now considered a well-proven, flexible, and sustainable bleaching technology.
This document describes mechanical engineering design services offered by Andy Engine, Andy Bearing, and Jet that enable low carbon technologies. Key points include:
- Andy Technology allows all transports and power plants to use 1/3 the fuel and emit 33-66% less carbon emissions for the same output.
- For transports, this means 6 times the fuel efficiency, 16.7% lower carbon emissions per km or ton-km carried. Automotive vehicles could achieve 60 kmpl and trucks 25 kmpl.
- For power plants, fuel and carbon emissions would be reduced by 33% per MW generated for all fuel types including coal, crude, LNG and biofuels.

Can the Global Aluminium Industry Achieve Carbon NeutralitySubodh Das
1) The document discusses strategies for the global aluminum industry to achieve carbon neutrality, including using greener sources of electricity, reducing process energy requirements, employing aluminum in energy-saving products, preventing aluminum waste, and recovering aluminum from landfills.
2) It analyzes the industry's historical trends in safety, environment, quality, and proposes carbon neutrality as the new industry paradigm.
3) Through various energy efficiency improvements and sourcing of electricity from lower-carbon sources, as well as greater aluminum recycling and reuse, the document estimates that the industry could reduce its carbon footprint to achieve carbon neutrality.
The document describes a study that used an Innova gas monitor to quantify gaseous emissions from soils through photoacoustic methods. The study compared emissions measurements from the Innova to other methods. It found that 8-10 measurement rings were needed to accurately measure carbon dioxide emissions from soils with high organic carbon, while 7 or fewer rings were sufficient for degraded sandy soils with low organic carbon. Temporal variability in greenhouse gas emissions was also examined over 24 hours from agricultural and forest sites.

1) The document discusses using the DayCent ecosystem model to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from Irish grasslands and soils.
2) Parameterization of DayCent was done based on a long-term dataset from Northern Ireland to simulate biomass production, soil carbon, water content, and greenhouse gas fluxes.
3) While DayCent captures key processes in mineral soils, it does not adequately simulate organic soils like peatlands. Further improvements would be needed to apply it reliably across all Irish soils.
