Implementation of Renewable Energy to Reduce Carbon Consumption and Fuel Cell as a Back-up Power for National Broadband Network (NBN) in Australia
A reliable power is paramount and loss of power to communication equipment can mean loss of service to clients and loss of millions of dollars to industries. Also, climate is changing; greenhouse gas emissions from human activity are the major cause for global warming.

Weathering below Irish blanket bogs and impacts on carbon dynamics
This research investigates CO2 consumption by chemical weathering related to mineral soils and bedrock underlying peatland catchments in Ireland via measurement of major ion fluxes and runoff. Influence of peatland condition and substrate composition is investigated by comparison of catchments with …

The Investigation of Aspects of Chemical Looping Combustion in Fluidised Beds
… separate CO2 from the flue gases without a large consumption of energy. In this thesis, the study was extended to look at the use of chemical looping materials within traditional fluidised bed combustion and investigation of the interaction between the fuel, the supplied air and the chemical …

A comparison of the merits of retrofitting against demolition and re-build construction techniques to achieve sustainability in Scottish social housing, through application of building computer simulations
… can be used to improve energy use and reduce carbon emissions. The aim of the report is to determine which form of construction, retrofitting against rebuild, is the most effective method in helping to reduce the UK's carbon emissions from its housing stock. The report explains the problems …

Evaluation of an Effluent Treatment Strategy to Control Nitrogen From a Recirculating Aquaculture Facility
… initial nitrate-nitrogen and soluble organic carbon to nitrate-nitrogen ratios. Characterization of soluble organic carbon (measured as soluble chemical oxygen demand, sCOD) indicated that volatile fatty acids (VFA) were generated during the fermentation of the waste fish solids. The results …

CO2 Derived Carbon Capture Using Microalgae in a PhotoBioCREC Unit
Microalgae has the potential to contribute to carbon dioxide capture, resulting in the production of alternative fuels and valuable chemical products. To accomplish this, high-efficiency photobioreactors must be conceptualized, designed, and established, in order to achieve high inorganic carbon …

Bacterioplankton dynamics in the Southern Benguela upwelling region
The role of heterotrophic bacteria in the carbon and nitrogen flux of the pelagic food web was investigated during laboratory and field-based studies of the temporal development of the planktonic community after upwelling. Bacterial community structure, activity and production were closely coupled …

Graphite-bearing and graphite-depleted basement rocks in the Dufferin Lake Zone, south-central Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
… are characterized by a lower concentration of carbon and sulfur, with the bleached zone showing higher concentrations of uranium and boron, the latter corresponding to high dravite content. The major element composition of the graphite-bearing pelitic schists and altered equivalents (RGZ) are …
