Aquaculture ponds with high nitrogen loading emit substantial CH and NO due to anoxic sediments. This study assessed the effects of calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)], calcium sulfate (CaSO), and calcium silicate (CaSiO) on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 45-day anoxic incubations of sediments from conventional and broad bean-fed ponds. At 20 mmol kg, Ca(OH) and CaSiO reduced CO (38-53 %), CH (17-66 %), and NO (43-62 %) emissions by elevating pH (8.5-8.9), enhancing mineral-associated organic carbon, and suppressing functional genes (nirK, norB, nosZ, and mcrA). CaSO lowered CH (48-56 %) and NO (49-58 %), likely by stimulating sulfate-reducing genes (aprA and dsrA), but increased CO emissions and decreased Fe-bound organic carbon. Structural equation modeling revealed pH, sulfate competition, and microbial community shifts as key mediators. Ca(OH) and CaSiO offer broad-spectrum GHG mitigation and SOC stabilization, while CaSO provides targeted CH/NO control. These findings inform calcium-based strategies for climate-smart aquaculture.

Plant biomass has emerged as a cornerstone of the global bioenergy landscape because of its abundance and cost-effectiveness. The cell wall of plant biomass is an intricate network of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose by holoenzymes converts these polymers into monosaccharides and paves the way for the production of bioethanol and other bio-based products.

Treatment of seeds with cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP) is in its proof-of-concept phase with regard to its effect on germination and plant growth. To increase the germination of hardseeded red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), seeds are usually scarified, which is time-consuming and labour-intensive.

Wastewater solids management is a key contributor to the operational cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs). This study proposes a 'waste-to-energy' strategy using a hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL)-based system to displace conventional energy- and emission-intensive practices. The proposed system directs HTL-produced biocrude to oil refineries and recovers regionally tailored nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers.

The food system is under increased pressure because of the need for sustainability, greater food safety, and increasing need for protein sources. Grasshopper-based food products are becoming a new option. Products made from grasshoppers represent a sustainable and nutritious alternative to traditional livestock.

Ammonia is one of the most important inputs in the global chemical industry, used primarily in fertilizers and explosives. It is increasingly recognized as a potential energy carrier. Its production is dominated by the Haber-Bosch process, which requires high energy consumption and significant capital investment, and contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.
