  • Wastewater irrigation of Salix Plantations - Hedemora Energy

    Type: 
    Product
    Objective:

    The largest and northern most full-scale system for wastewater irrigation of Salix plantations in Sweden.
    The local community in Hedemora has long experience in producing biofuel from Salix plantations. The cooperation between Hedemora Energi AB and local farmers has resulted in irrigation of 75 acres of Salix Plantations. The local farmers in the project are guaranteed to sell their biofuel to the local municipal heating plant. As a result the project is contributing to the local production and consumption.

  • Artificial wetlands in Trosa

    Type: 
    Product
    Objective:
    Technology:

    Since 2003 the waste water from the town of Trosa (about 4500 citizens) has been treated in artificial wetlands, after the basic treatment in the sewage plant. Thanks to the wetlands the Trosa river and the town bay have been spared from eutrophicating substances (plant nutrients) as well as contagious substances (pathogenes). Besides the value of purifying the water, the wetlands are a popular recreation area. The wetlands are used for education and many study visits are made here.

  • Magnetic Colloid Petroleum Oil Clean-Up of Surface Depth and Shores

    Type: 
    Product
    Technology:

    Challenge: Oil spill contamination cannot be cleaned rapidly and completely from varied environments. Technology: Ferrofluids are colloidal dispersions of magnetic nanoparticles that can be manipulated with an external magnetic field. This invention proposes to apply ferrofluidic principles to the mitigation of oil contamination of solids (wetlands) water surfaces and water sub-surfaces. The particle size surfaces and dispersants can all be optimized for stabilizing oil removal collectability and water purification.

  • INDC of Uganda

    Type: 
    National Plan
    Type of National plan:
    Country:
    Uganda

    For mitigation, Uganda is to focus on implementation of a series of policies and measures in the energy supply, forestry and wetland sectors. In the business-as-usual (BAU) scenario the estimated emissions in 2030 will be 77.3 Million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year (MtCO2eq/yr). The estimated potential cumulative impact of the policies and measures could result in approximately 22% reduction of national green house gas emissions in 2030 compared to business-as-usual.

  • INDC of Russian Federation

    Type: 
    National Plan
    Type of National plan:
    Country:
    Russia

    Limiting anthropogenic greenhouse gases in Russia to 70-75% of 1990 levels by the year 2030 might be a long-term indicator, subject to the maximum possible account of absorbing capacity of forests.
