Biogas production from sewage sludge can be valued in different scenarios of energy usage such as the electricity, heating, and transportation system. Improving the energy production value is the main reason for using different ways such as alkaline pretreatment and nanoparticles (NPs). This investigation uses life cycle assessment (LCA) for evalua...

Until recently, mouldboard ploughing was used as the main tillage in almost the entire territory of Ukraine and Russia. However, mouldboard technologies contribute to the formation of a “plough pan”, which contributes to additional soil compaction. The intensity of agricultural production exacerbated the problem of soil compaction by machine and tr...
