How do People Adapt to Environmental Shocks and Stresses?
How do most people adapt to floods? What do most people do to cope with heatwaves? Which strategies to adapt to any environmental shock or stress are most common and which most rare?
Technoeconomic Assessment of Hydrothermal Liquefaction Oil from Lignin
Lignin is a by-product of the Kraft pulping process and is typically burned for energy within the pulp and paper mill plant. Due to energy efficiency measures in Kraft pulp mills, its availability has recently greatly increased. This surplus lignin provides a readily available feedstock for conversion into a phenolic-rich bio-oil via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL).
