Alternative fertilizer sources (P & N, etc.) / Renewable energies / Microplastics in water
Postdoc at Ghent University
Çağrı Akyol - a Postdoctoral researcher and project manager at Ghent University, dealing with; Energy and resource recovery from waste streams, Biogas biorefineries, Nutrient recovery and recycling. Also, he shares a lot about renewables and alternative fertilizers on his LinkedIn 🙂
0:00 Intro
01:10 Biogas & biomethane in EU Gas Package / about EU's 35 bcm binding target
04:47 Can Biogas & biomethane replace fossil fuels?
05:55 Russian natural gas cutoff & EU's interest in renewable energy sources
07:44 About the Nutri2Cycle project
11:49 Linear vs. Circular economy
15:12 About bio-based fertilizers and an ongoing debate on the "bio-based fertilizer" term
18:18 Bio-based fertilizers from anaerobic digestion
22:13 "... in Flanders, you can't directly apply digestate to the soil..."
23:13 About microplastics in human blood, breast milk, soil, and tap water
28:40 Current challenges in water & wastewater treatments (chemicals, sludge, etc.)
32:50 About Gent University's research contribution to alternative fertilizers
34:01 Synthetic N fertilizers vs. bio-based N fertilizers impact on the environment
36:10 "Farmers are really keen to use bio-based fertilizers because..."
38:38 Can bio-based fertilizers alone close the current P fertilizer demand?
40:11 Agricultural practices with less nutrient loss
40:57 Future of bio-based fertilizers & renewable energy
45:28 Advice for young researchers (PhDs)
49:03 Good researcher skills
51:12 Shall one create or look for meaning?

Special Thanks:
I want to thank Dr. Maxim Dorodnikov (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen), who introduced me to P cycle and to "peak phosphorus curve". Thanks to him, I was able to address in this episodes one of the critical issues - P limit. And special thanks to Prof. Sophie and Dr. Eugenio (BOKU) who buit in me interest and core basic understandings of GHG emissions & soil microbiology. Also, thanks to IMSOGLO project organizers & all lecturers (Prof. Finke & Prof. Wim, Prof. Sauer & Dr. Stephen, etc., and my friend ALEX who taught me almost everything). This list is just a brief one, I will try to put more names in next episodes.
