Smart Fertilizers As an Approach to Sustainable Farming

In 2019, the fertilizer market was USD 95 billion and it projected that during the forecast period of 2020-2025, approximately a CAGR of 3.2% would be recorded. Fertilizers are critical to agricultural productivity. Balanced fertilization would involve both macronutrients (NPKs) and micronutrients, whereas unbalanced fertilization reduces crop yields and depletes the soil. There will be… Continue reading Smart Fertilizers As an Approach to Sustainable Farming

Hybrid Meat: Bridging Plant-Based and Traditional Meat

In the context of semi-vegetarian choices, hybrid meat analogues are emerging as an alternative to traditional meat products. These are produced using blends of plant and animal ingredients in varying proportions to provide a meaty taste and texture, with the added nutritional benefits from plants. Compared to plant-based alternatives, hybrid analogues such as burgers, sausages,… Continue reading Hybrid Meat: Bridging Plant-Based and Traditional Meat

Mushroom-Based Flexible Electronics

E-waste, also known as electronic garbage, is a significant pollutant and is becoming an alarming issue. However, researchers have processed mushroom skin such that it can be utilized to create biodegradable electronics. These gadgets are called “Myceliotronics,” named after the component of a mushroom used in their manufacturing. These gadgets emerge as a substitute for… Continue reading Mushroom-Based Flexible Electronics

Carbon Capture, Storage, and Utilization

Carbon dioxide concentrations are rising mainly by the burning of fossil fuels. The global average amount of carbon dioxide reached record levels of 412.5 parts per million, rising by 2.6 ppm that year. In 2019, it was 409.8 ppm, a rise of approx. 2.5 ± 0.1 ppm from 2018, the same as the increase between… Continue reading Carbon Capture, Storage, and Utilization

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) to Energy Generation

In the 21st century, human society is facing three major issues; the first one is energy security, public health, and a clean environment. The generation of waste in every part of the world is seen to increase.
