This chapter aligns with Goals 9, 11, 12 by emphasizing the responsible disposal of toxic building materials and providing guidance on selecting materials that have a positive effect on the health of occupants and the environment.
This review investigates the emerging market for Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, which is crucial for mitigating climate change by actively removing $\text{CO}_2$ from the atmosphere. By detailing the technologies used by over 50 DAC startups and identifying their potential customers, this work aims to accelerate the worldwide commercial deployment of a technology necessary to meet global temperature limits.
The content aligns with SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by promoting the valorization of agroindustrial residues like rice bran to reduce waste and create value-added products. It also supports SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) through its focus on research and development for industrial applications in biorefinery systems.
Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research have opened up new opportunities for leveraging AI research for societal impacts. AI research offers novel ways of tackling societal problems including environmental, health, and education challenges. Despite the potential, there are limited documented use cases and methodologies for translating AI research to societal impact at a large scale. This paper presents AirQo, an AI and advanced technology-driven use case for urban environmental pollution monitoring and modelling and the resulting societal impacts that have been realised.
In 2023 the HPCC Systems Community Impact scholarship was announced as a part of an effort to support the Diversity & Inclusion focus areas at LexisNexis Risk Solutions. The HPCC Systems Community Impact Scholarship was launched in partnership with Scholarship America to provide two renewable $5,000 scholarships to female high school graduates from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds who plan to pursue a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) undergraduate degree at an eligible college.
This article aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure. The research focuses on the green synthesis of nanoparticles using biological entities, such as microorganisms and plants, through nanobiotechnology processes. The use of these environmentally friendly methods has the potential to revolutionize biomedical applications, including cancer detection and treatment, as well as agricultural applications for crop improvement. Furthermore, green nanoparticles show promise in energy production and storage, offering cost-effective and sustainable solutions for future energy demands.
This chapter will discuss new developments in photovoltaics leading to new methods of cell manufacturing.
In this episode of the "World We Want" podcast, Márcia Balisciano interviews Filip Neele, Lead Scientist at TNO in Utrecht, the Netherlands. They discuss carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology as a “key” in energy transition and its role in supporting global sustainability.
A comprehensive survey of the current research on using Blockchain and Federated Learning (FL) to enhance Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networks. It examines the security challenges faced by IIoT systems, the potential threats, and the state-of-the-art approaches that leverage Blockchain and FL to address these issues.
This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing and Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure by identifying potential nutraceutical applications of bioactive compounds for prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.
