© 2022 Elsevier LtdPoultry slaughterhouses generate an abattoir sludge (PAS) that needs proper management in the principles of circular economy and green deal goals that imply a net-zero emissions, more resource efficient and sustainable economy. This study proposes a waste-to-energy approach as a sustainable strategy for water heating by utilizing waste stream and internal usage in poultry slaughterhouse sector. In the study, energy crop Arundo donax (AD) biomass produced by irrigating treated abattoir waste water and solar dried PAS were used to produce bio pellet for the boiler heater. The solar dried PAS and grinded AD straw were extruded into pellets using a real industrial press at biomass combustion plants using i) 100% PAS:0% AD, ii) 50% PAS:50% AD, iii) 0% PAS:100% AD. The calorific value, bulk density, and energy density of the PAS, AD and PAS + AD pellets were in the range of 16.81–28.78 MJ kg−1, 646–779 kg m−3, and 10.86–22.71 GJ m−3, respectively. Combustion image analysis results indicated the better flame richness and red color intensity of PAS + AD pellets than the both PAS and AD. Based on the results, almost 58% of the daily used fossil fuel coal for hot water production can be replaced by renewable PAS + AD pellets.

With the ever-growing global interest in reducing greenhouse gases such as CO2, renewable energy options present a good energy alternative. Not only are they a sustainable option in their operational period, but they also have a low implementation cost especially, when compared to conventional fossil fuel sources. Hydrokinetic turbines have the advantages of energy predictability, relatively low visual impact, a high energy density, high capacity factor, and ease of manufacture, in addition to the low cost ...
DETERMINATION OF SPOT WHEAT PRICES UNDER CLIMATE IMPACT USING COPULA APPROACH
Kayapınar, İlayda; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Yıldırım Külekci, Bükre; Department of Actuarial Sciences (2022-7-26)
Climate components have a significant impact on the supply of agricultural goods in two ways. Firstly, the climate condition influences the efficiency of agriculture and the volume of the harvested product. Secondly, the farmers harvesting their products would prefer to sell their goods in the season when the supply is limited at a higher price. Therefore, we can say that climate conditions can determine the price of agricultural products. Modeling the seasonal variables whose distributions are not the same...

The depletion of fossil fuel resources on a worldwide basis and an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and climate change as a whole have caused an urgent search for alternative sustainable energy sources to cater for the rising energy demands. The demand of energy is rapidly growing in both developing and developed nations thus making hybrid renewable energy power systems (RES), comprising Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy to be chosen as one of the best alternatives. However, on the downside, these...
Analysis of public use bicycle systems from a product-service system perspective
Keskin, Duygu; Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z.; Department of Industrial Design (2006)
Recent studies on sustainability indicate that the concept of the Product-Service System (PSS) is a promising approach to dematerialise the economy and reduce the environmental impacts of industrial activity. Considering the urban scale, mobility is one of the challenges that should be addressed and improved for a better quality of life for residents and lower pollution levels for the environment. In this respect, this study aims at analysing Public Use Bicycle (PUB) systems from a PSS perspective. Six PUB ...
Investigation of alkaline pretreatment parameters on amulti-product basis for the co-production of glucose and hemicellulose based films from corn cobs
Toraman, Hilal Ezgi; Bakır Bölükbaşı, Ufuk; Özkan, Necati; Department of Chemical Engineering (2012)
There is an increasing trend in the world for using renewable sources of fuels and chemicals due to the continuous depletion of fossil fuel reserves besides the environmental issues related with the exploitation of these resources. Lignocellulosic biomass is seen as the most promising candidate to be used instead of fossil sources because of its availability, relatively low price and less competition with food and feed crops. In this study, corn cobs, a lignocellulosic agricultural waste, were subjected to ...
