Methane leakage can erase the climate benefits of wastewater biogas recovery
Wastewater utilities use anaerobic digestion and biogas utilization to reduce energy costs and emissions, but methane leakage can undermine both the climate benefits and project economics of these systems, especially as power grids decarbonize. Safeguarding climate integrity will require performance-based methane policies that pair robust monitoring with enforceable leakage thresholds and targeted leak detection and repair
A circular hydrothermal refinery for sustainable aviation fuel from food waste
Methane leakage thresholds for net climate benefits of wastewater biogas recovery
Biogas recovery is crucial for decarbonizing water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs), offering renewable energy production alongside waste treatment. However, methane (CH4) leakage during digestion and biogas handling can largely compromise their climate benefits, yet this risk remains uncharacterized. Here we present a US national-scale assessment of CH4 leakage thresholds beyond which WRRF biogas systems lose net climate benefits. By compili…
Explore autophagy-related lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA networks for diagnosis of early-onset schizophrenia through transcriptome analysis
Through transcriptome analysis, we searched for diagnostic autophagy-related ceRNA networks, which provided valuable candidates for the early diagnosis of EOS
Oversimplification and misestimation of nitrous oxide emissions from wastewater treatment plants
Wastewater treatment is a major source of anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions. However, the current emission estimations rely on a uniform emission factor (EF) proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change based on a limited database suffering from large uncertainties and inaccuracies. To address this limitation, this study expands the database 12-fold and develops a tier-based approach. Our method considers emission variati…
Urban circular carbon economy through electrochemically influenced microbiomes
Food waste and wastewater are two of the largest carbon streams in urban systems and have huge potential in waste carbon valorization and carbon circularity, which are vital to achieving net-zero emissions goals. Conventional waste treatment practices, however, largely fail to realize the potential and often create additional socio-environmental externalities. Microbiome-based waste recovery, particularly electrochemically influenced processes li…
