  • A CASE STUDY on CARBON NEUTRAL Architecture & Spatial Planning by Kremena Dyakova
    Lifelong Learning Programme | ERASMUS ´Intensive Program´ “THE CARBON NEUTRAL CITY NEUSIEDL AM SEE in 2050” A CASE STUDY ON CARBON NEUTRAL Architecture & Spatial planning by Kremena Dyakova There is no doubt that environmental issues substantially influence our cities, culture and society. This effectively impacts on the planning process as well. “Virtually every city and country […] will, sooner or later, need to plan for its sustainable future or its very economic, environmental, and social survival.” 1 The fact of the matter is, Architecture and Planning have an undeniable say in how social and economic landscapes be changed in order to satisfy the needs of people for a high quality of life. Lessening the ecological impacts of growth in the cities is at present a must for cultivating successful development models, or livable communities for that matter. My own professional interest and experience with that subject is best reflected by the diploma project I prepared toward graduation in the Urban planning department at UACEG 2. “Lifestyle and Urban planning” examines the possibilities for a small urban settlement to be developed in accordance with both locally and globally sustainable objectives. The word goes of Sibbesborg area - situated approximately 30 kilometers east of the center of Helsinki. The project area encompasses 2 000 ha with a population of 3 000 inhabitants and less than 1000 jobs established by the year 2010. An open international planning competition for sustainable community development was organized in 2011 by Sipoo Municipality.3 The purpose of the competition was to enable the development of the Sibbesborg area and help it respond to the needs of the growing metropolitan region (fig.1|fig.2|fig.3).

  • The Next Generation Lignoboost – Tailor-Maid Lignin Production for Different Lignin Bioproduct Markets
    Published May 26, 2017 Next Generation LignoBoost The next generation LignoBoost – tailor-maid lignin production for different lignin bioproduct markets Executive Summary The list of end products that can be made from lignin ranges from fuel applications to carbon fibers and fine chemicals. As more lignin becomes available on the market one key question that needs to be addressed is, of course; What to do with the produced lignin? This paper describes highlights and important results from collaborations aimed to develop add-on processes that will produce lignin with a tailored specification. Pilot scale trials have been carried out producing a bio based carbon black from lignin. Carbon black can be used as reinforcement filler in rubber products. It was also shown that an odor free lignin could be produced by decreasing the guaiacol content in the lignin from 1.42 mg/kg to 0.04 mg/kg. The odor free lignin concept is ready for commercialization enabling production of a completely odor free bio- composite from lignin. © Valmet Page | 1 Published May 26, 2017 Next Generation LignoBoost Introduction Kraft lignin production at large scale is commercial and purified lignin is sold globally. Known trade names for lignin are BioChoice™ (Domtar) and BioPiva™ (UPM). Several pulp and paper manufacturers, such as Stora Enso, Domtar, UPM, Metsä Fibre, Suzano and Fibria, are changing their image to a broader bioproduct scope, including a production of lignin. When producing pulp according to the traditional kraft method the overall yield going from wood to pulp is about 50%. Part of the other 50% is used to produce new cooking chemicals, electricity and heat.
