Enhancing soil health through balanced fertilization: a pathway to sustainable agriculture and food security by Yingying Xing, Yunxia Xie, Xiukang Wang

“…Specifically, the synergistic application of mineral and organic fertilizers elevates β-glucosidase and urease activities, accelerating organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling while modulating microbial taxa critical for nutrient transformation and pathogen suppression. Notably, replacing 20–40% of mineral fertilizers with organic alternatives mitigates environmental risks such as greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient leaching while sustaining crop yields. …”

A Review of Renewable Energy Technologies in Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) by Derick Lima, Li Li, Gregory Appleby

“…Gasification of sewage sludge is a promising technology for managing municipal sewage sludge, offering key advantages, especially by generating a renewable energy production (sludge is converted into syngas), which further decreases the sludge volume and operating costs with sludge management, helps to eliminate odour associated with sewage sludge, and effectively destroys the pathogens. Adoption of renewable energy sources in WWTPs can be a great alternative to overcome issues of high operating costs and high dependency of electricity from the main grid, but their successful integration requires addressing challenges such as technological maturity, economic feasibility, and regulatory frameworks. …”
