Governing Within the Constraints of Carbon Budgets: Regional Insights From Sweden

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Staying within the limits of a rapidly shrinking global carbon budget while avoiding dependency on negative emissions technologies and carbon dioxide removal remains a significant challenge in a multi‐level governance system, where resources and responsibilities are dispersed among different actors.

Policy Integration for Enabling Environments: Decentralised Water Technologies for Rural Water Reuse

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water reuse holds significant promise for addressing global water challenges, yet wide scale implementation remains limited. Decentralised water technologies for reuse have been highlighted as a potential aide in the reduction of water challenges, specifically for environments that have typically been considered ‘water rich’, and in rural ...

Biomass‐derived hydrochars as eco‐friendly adsorbents for wastewater treatment applications

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Emerging organic pollutants (EOPs), such as diethyl phthalate (DEP), bisphenol A (BPA), and methylene blue (MB), are only partially removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants. This study assesses hydrochars produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of spruce bark (SB), vine shoots (VSs), and wheat straw (WSs) for removing three ...
