Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Abstract Many urban areas are interested in quantifying the greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint of their organic waste management systems. The biosolids emissions assessment model (BEAM) offers a means to model emissions associated with organic waste management systems and compare the GHG footprints of different management options.

Anaerobic digestion of aliphatic polyesters
Water Science and Technology, 2016 Anaerobic processes for the treatment of plastic materials waste represent versatile and effective approach in environmental protection and solid waste management. In this work, anaerobic biodegradability of model aliphatic polyesters, poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA), and poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL), in the form of powder and melt-pressed films with varying ...

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Abstract Livestock manure presents a paradox: It is simultaneously a valuable nutrient and energy resource and if managed improperly, it will also become a source of greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution. Current farm‐level assessment tools typically operate in silos.

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The decomposition of organic waste in landfills accounts for 17% of US anthropogenic methane (CH4) emissions. Despite ongoing efforts to reduce organic waste disposal in landfills, it is unclear what the emissions mitigation and nutrient recovery potential of landfill diversion is, across facility, state, and national scales.

Reducing Nitrous Oxide Emissions Associated With Fertiliser Using Nitrogen Enriched Biochar
European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 4, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT There is a need for agricultural practices that decrease nitrous oxide emissions while sustaining yields for food production. In the current paper, we investigate the possibility of reducing emissions by co‐applying or enriching biochar with mineral nitrogen and using it as a fertiliser.

A Computer Program for Modeling the Conversion of Organic Waste to Energy
Energies, 2011 This paper presents a tool for the analysis of conversion of organic waste into energy. The tool is a program that uses waste characterization parameters and mass flow rates at each stage of the waste treatment process to predict the given products.

Conversion Processes in Anaerobic Digestion
Water Science and Technology, 1983 Six different conversion processes are identified in the degradation of particulate organic material (biopolymers) to methane. Hydrolysis of particulate material is followed by the degradation of the hydrolysis and intermediary products by five independent groups of microorganisms. Process and growth kinetic data for the six processes are reviewed. The
