• Graphene addition to digestion of thin stillage can alleviate acidic shock and improve biomethane production 

  Wu, Benteng; Lin, Richen; Kang, Xihui; Deng, Chen; Xia, Ao; Dobson, Alan D. W.; Murphy, Jerry D. (ACS Publications, 2020-08-12)

  Production of biomethane from distillery byproducts (such as stillage) in a circular economy system may facilitate a climate neutral alcohol industry. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of easily degradable substrates can lead to ...
• An open-path dual-beam laser spectrometer for path-integrated urban NO2 sensing 

  Chen, Jun; Wang, Dan-Na; Ramachandran, Arun; Chandran, Satheesh; Li, Mingzhi; Varma, Ravi (Elsevier B.V., 2020-08-10)

  Fast and continuous in-situ monitoring of NO2 in urban air using optical sensing has been a topic of research recently. Due to possible interferences from other absorbers, spectroscopic measurements across a broad absorption ...
• Wave power extraction from a hybrid oscillating water column-oscillating buoy wave energy converter 

  Cui, Lin; Zheng, Siming; Zhang, Yongliang; Miles, Jon; Iglesias, Gregorio (Elsevier B.V., 2020-08-23)

  Oscillating water column (OWC) devices and oscillating buoys (OBs) are two of the main types of wave energy converters (WECs). In this paper a hybrid oscillating water column-oscillating buoy wave energy converter is ...
• Economic and employment impacts of offshore wind for Ireland: A value chain analysis 

  Kandrot, Sarah; Cummins, Val; Jordan, Declan; Murphy, Jimmy (Taylor & Francis Group, 2020-07-13)

  The imminent development of a number of offshore wind farms in the Republic of Ireland presents a sizable opportunity to stimulate the Irish economy through the growth of an indigenous and globally competitive offshore ...
• A study of faculty perceptions and engagement with interdisciplinary research in university sustainability institutes 

  Bolger, Paul (Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2020-06-09)

  It has long been argued that solutions to inform better decisions on environmental challenges require research at the boundaries of scientific disciplines. Research institutes and centers at universities can be key vehicles ...
