Greenhouse Gas Reduction Potential Through Bioheat for Remote Communities in Northeastern Ontario
GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.Heating infrastructure in remote areas has high potential for fuel switching, possibly leading to decreased greenhouse gas emissions. Using a simplified life cycle analysis approach, we show that woody residues from the forest industry have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to commonly used fossil fuels.

Synergistic Effect of Ladle Furnace Slag and Biomass Bottom Ash in Alkali‐Activated Binders
Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 7, July 2026.This study investigates the synergistic co‐activation of ladle furnace slag (LFS) and biomass bottom ash (BBA) in alkali‐activated binders. Results indicate that 75 wt% BBA maximizes mechanical strength, reaching 11.1 MPa in compression after 90 days. Amorphous silica from BBA acts as a chemical buffer, mitigating slag expansion while forming a stable ...

The Importance of Tire Wear Particles for Atmospheric Ice Nucleation
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract Tire wear particles (TWPs) are prevalent microplastic particles in the atmosphere and pose significant environmental and health risks to humans. Here, we investigated the ice nucleation activity (INA) of TWPs under mixed‐phase cloud conditions (∼−20.0°C < T < −5.0°C) and its changes caused by different environmental exposures, including UV and
