Waste disposal strategy for better quality of life: Asia and Europe in search of solutions for controlled waste management 
The largely unregulated waste management poses grave problems in many Asian cities. The need to organize waste management systematically and communicate this to people requires a lot of awareness training, good networking, a clear focus on results and a great deal of patience. Key individuals on all levels must be involved in order to increase acceptance among the population. The Technologie-Transfer-Zentrum, ttz (Technology Transfer Centre, ttz) in Bremerhaven, Germany, is aiming to develop and locally implement a realizable model
with 21 partners from Europe and Asia, within the EU project ISSOWAMA (Integrated Sustainable Solid Waste Management in Asia). The project was officially launched in Bangkok on February 11 and 12.
Fine-tuning the fire: Plant controls improve waste incinerator economics
Thermal waste incineration plants are generally characterized by strong fluctuations in fuel characteristics, such as calorific value and water content. To keep emissions low, furnace controls have to meet stringent design, parameter and ease-of-use requirements. For large-scale furnaces, it makes sense to use model-based control systems, such as those commonly used for years in oil refineries. The result is a reduction in operating costs and lower quantities of flue gas.
On proposal of Antonis Zevgitis, CEO of A.Z.SUSTAINABLE MEDIA SERVICES LTD Dr. Kalogirou and Mr. Bauer met to discuss about continous knowledge exchange between Germany and Greece, which could work as a print and online multimedia project.
Feasibiltiy analysis of an anaerobic digestion plant for swine sector in Aragón
The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of an anaerobic digestion process, taking into account raw material, logistics, Spain policies, digester design, biogas production, cogeneration production and financial model. As a result of this study it was found biogas production from Aragón swine manure residues, have a positive result from environmental and financial (IRR=17.7%) point of view, by codigestion with poultry slurry.

Cuba investigates potential of marine thermal energy
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) uses the temperature difference that exists between deep and shallow waters to run heat engines. In the Bay of Matanzas on the northern coast of Cuba, scientists are experimenting with the potential of this renewable energy. Little research on OTEC has been conducted anywhere around the world to date.
Kemis to store hazardous waste in Serbia
The Slovenian company Kemis has asked the Serbian environmental ministry for the permission to open a hazardous waste storage in Serbia, where wastes would be gathered before their transfer to the EU.
Dry water to provide storage for methane and CO2
Scientists have proven that a substance called dry water is very efficient in the storage of several gases, emulsions and it can also speed up catalyst reactions.
