Biomass and Circular Economy - WhatNext

Importance of Biomass in Circular Economy

Biomass is defined as organic matter grown by the usual functioning of a living organism. This matter holds inside a multitude of compounds rich in bonds and therefore energy. Understanding the concept of biomass is not difficult, because we have always used it. I venture to say even more: without the primary production of plant …

Converting CO2 - WhatNext

Converting CO2 to Renewable Fuel using Micro-Organisms and Electricity

We have heard a lot about greenhouse gases in recent decades. While right now CO2 emission represents a threat to the planet’s climate stability (anthropocentric stability), it is not a new feature in the Earth’s atmosphere. Co2 has maintained a self-regulating equilibrium through geological and astronomical events, which manifest a cyclical character. This has buffered …

Environmental Compliance using AI - WhatNext

Monitoring Environmental Compliance using Artificial Intelligence

Environment compliance today is not a matter of choice. Increasing global warming, drastic climate change, and even Covid-19: the global health pandemic has forced countries to develop stricter environmental regulations and their enforcement. Non-compliance with these rules and regulations results in hefty fines, cancellation of permits, and sometimes even jail. Based on the nature of …

Sustainable Agriculture - WhatNext

Sustainable Agriculture using Synthetic Biology

New biotech promises for agriculture often focus on improving the production of food material by plants. This can be done by gene editing or artificial selection, which humans have been doing for thousands of years. The fattest and tastiest fruits were continuously cultivated for obvious reasons, until we ended up genetically differentiating lineages of the …
