A bp company turning waste into renewable natural gas – at scale
Sources of biogas for potential RNG production include landfills
Landfills are the largest of these sources and provide an attractive feedstock for RNG because of their predictable
Archaea’s facilities collect landfill carbon dioxide (CO2) as part of its renewable natural gas production
Our plants take the landfill gas – primarily methane (CH4) and CO2 that is otherwise managed by a landfill flare – brings it to our facility and processes it to be sold as renewable natural gas
This CO2 is separated from the methane and has the potential to be permanently stored below ground
Adding a CCS capability to our plants offer a safe
and effective means to reduce CO2 emissions and make RNG economically competitive for the long term

Seed of tropical fruit is raw material used to replace bones in the skull
Fabio ColombiniSeeds of the assai fruit treeFabio Colombini
the fruit of the Euterpe oleracea palm tree
recent studies have shown that it can be used to produce natural
This novelty was announced by a team of researchers headed by chemical engineer Rubens Maciel Filho
a professor at the State University of Campinas (Unicamp)
The assai is native to the North of Brazil
The assai plastic was shown to have the same characteristics as those of petroleum-based polyurethane
In vitro tests have shown that the material is biocompatible and contains excellent mechanical and biological properties
anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties
among other features of interest in bioapplications,” Maciel explains
He is the coordinator of the Biomanufacturing Institute (Biofabris)
one of the National Science and Technology Institutes (INCT)
based in the school of Chemical Engineering (FEQ) at Unicamp
The research studies began in 2009 and the new polymer
is the result of the master’s degree and doctoral studies of researcher Laís Gabriel
both of which were conducted under Maciel’s guidance
says that polyurethane is extensively used to manufacture orthopedic prostheses because it is compatible with live tissues
it doesn’t release toxic substances when it is implanted,” he says
“There is another advantage of plant-originated polyurethane
This material is comparable to a bioceramic cranium prosthesis
We believe that producing a similar prosthesis from assai will cost about five times less.”
The first step of the new material’s production process is to extract the fruit pulp with a special machine
Consumption of assai in the city of Belem generates 350 tons a day of pulped material (seeds and bagasse)
“A humid mass and seeds covered in fibers and non-soluble particles are the left-overs,” explains professor Carmen Gilda Tavares Dias
from the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA)
who provided the pulped samples used by the researchers from Biofabris
“This biomass is put in a dryer to remove the dry seeds.”
Eduardo CesarLatticed prosthesisEduardo Cesar
The production of polyurethane comes after this step
Assai polyurethane is made from a substance called polyol
A chemical compound comprised of isocyanate (a viscous liquid) and hydrogen are added and placed inside a reactor
The next step is to add nanoparticles of hydroxyapatite
a substance comprised mostly of calcium phosphate
Assai polymer is the final product; it is a porous
this material is more suitable for implants and prosthesis in parts of the body that do not require major mechanical effort
“In the case of a prosthesis for a femur head
the biopolyurethane developed at Biofabris with funding from FAPESP and from the National Council of Scientific and Technical Development (CNPq) could become a quick and specific alternative for creating prostheses or bone implants
processed by the InVesalius software (see Pesquisa FAPESP issue 148)
developed by the Renato Archer Information Technology Center (CTI)
it will be possible to manufacture a customized prosthesis
Jardini explains that the first step of this customization is to do the segmentation
“The next step is to produce a three-dimensional image of the hard tissue to show the missing part
The last step is to send this information to rapid prototyping equipment; this equipment will produce the identical anatomical prosthesis
The area of biomaterials and biomanufacturing is a field of research that has been growing worldwide
“The field of biopolymers or polymeric biomaterials is quite extensive
a professor at the Biomaterials Laboratory of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)
“Research studies have focused on two kinds of polymers: those with high mechanical resistance
that don’t have to be removed surgically and can be used to release drugs and antibiotics.”
Santos says that the word biopolymer has two broad meanings
“It can be a biomaterial for biomedical use or a polymer obtained from biological materials that is not necessarily used in human beings,” he explains
Santos says that he is working on the development of a plastic derived from lactic acid
found for instance in meat or in milk and used for sutures and absorbable implants
is another biopolymer that we are working on,” he adds
“This material is a hydrogel that absorbs huge amounts of water; it can be used to cover the injuries of burn patients and diabetics
it can be used as support for cell culture.” The two research projects have resulted in submitting requests for patents

The residual equity stake represents 11.7% of Assaí’s shares capital
France-based supermarket chain Groupe Casino (Casino) has decided to sell its residual equity stake in Brazilian retailer Assai to strengthen its liquidity
The 157 million common shares represent 11.7% of Assaí’s share capital
The value of the shares has not been disclosed
but Casino said that it will inform the market of the result of such a process
Casino said: “The sale will be implemented through an accelerated book building
executed by the Sao Paulo stock exchange (B3)
in accordance with the applicable rules on this marketplace.”
The announcement comes a few months after the food retailer raised €723.2m ($769.85m) by selling 254 million Assai shares
representing 18.8% of Assaí’s share capital
Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard
Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis
Casino also entered into an agreement with the French government to defer payment of the group’s tax and social security liabilities
This is part of the court-backed negotiations the retailer initiated with its creditors last month
Last week, the retailer confirmed that it had received a preliminary letter of intent (LOI) from a group of investors to help strengthen its capital position
In its first quarter financial result posted last month
Casino reported consolidated net sales of €5.4bn ($5.8bn)
which increased 1.0% on a same-store basis
The retailer had consolidated net debt of €6.4bn ($6.9bn) as of the end of fiscal year 2022

Noah Kahan is one of the hottest stars in the world
attending the Grammys and selling out arenas
But when the Stick Season star wanted to give his album a charts boost
He took the time to sign 500 copies of his album for a special numbered edition to sell through Assai
a retailer being able to sell this number of physical copies can make all the difference to chart positions
Liam Gallagher and Green Day – who have also provided unique versions of their LPs to Assai – to have a number one
Having this level of sales and influence in the music business hasn’t always been the case for Assai owner Keith Ingram
his first independent music shop in Stirling closed its doors after only two years – but Keith saw the opportunity of internet sales
“We were selling more online than over the counter,” he recalled
“When the lease was coming to an end in 2004
Mostly selling through marketplaces like eBay and Amazon
within four years this was a £2 million a year business.”
the business embraced the resurgence of the vinyl format
Keith saw the opportunity to try again with a physical record store
opening the first Assai in Broughty Ferry in 2015
but the team learned quickly how to build a following
“The online sales grew to the point we had a lot of stock in our warehouse,” Keith said
“By that point I was concerned about being so reliant on Amazon and eBay and wanted to adapt the business as there could be a change in the market we couldn’t control
We had a loyalty programme but didn’t know what to do with it
“The numbers on our mailing list kept increasingly organically
Assai opened a second shop in Edinburgh in 2017 which coincided with the start of another major part of its business – hosting live music events
Dundee band The View approached Assai saying they wanted to do something to help sell copies of their album
The conversations led to an event at Church in Dundee
In 2018 Snow Patrol performed three different half hour sets in the same venue
Since then Assai has hosted dozens of concerts with stars like Lewis Capaldi, The Snuts and Anne-Marie and also benefits from record sales at the events
With the Broughty Ferry lease coming to an end
Assai made the move to Dundee’s Union Street in 2019
“We wanted to be in Dundee city centre to take advantage of higher footfall,” said Keith
“The Waterfront area was being developed and Union Street was a good fit for us
“The bigger shop also lent itself to hosting more live events.”
Assai invested heavily in its website before the pandemic
Although it still sells through Amazon and eBay
Special ‘obi’ editions of selected albums Assai sells – which have a hand numbered strip with the album title in Japanese – gives the store unique
But Keith believes it is also due to the store’s efforts in building a community that people choose to spend with them
being part of the community and offering something places like HMV and Amazon don’t
“Our shop is big enough to hold events and meet and greets
“The obi editions give us something different
Assai opened a Glasgow shop last year and is looking for more expansion opportunities
The website sales indicate where they already have a strong customer base
which now has 33 staff and annual sales of £3.5m
continues to invest on its website while its Edinburgh shop undergoes a refit
Keith said brick and mortar stores can still work – when combined with online
He said: “You’ve got to understand your customers and why they come to you
You’ve got to build a community around the shop
It’s easier in some businesses than others
“I’m upbeat on the future of bricks and mortar but you have to tie it in with a website and social media
We get a lot of people who order on website and collect in store and things like that
“Embracing social media as much as you can is essential
We’ve got a reach of 100,000 so it’s a reasonable number
“Future plans definitely involve more shops
The plan is to reach out to locations where we have a customer base but don’t have a shop – places like Aberdeen and Perth.”

WHO Representative in Pakistan22 February 2018 –The Pakistan Academy of Family Physicians has awarded lifelong membership of the Pakistan Academy to Dr Mohammad Assai Ardakani
in recognition of his meritorious services in initiating the family practice programme in 12 model districts of Pakistan and for the tremendous support provided by WHO to medical universities for strengthening family medicine departments in 2017
While thanking the Pakistan Academy of Family Physician
Dr Assai expressed his gratitude and said that the award was a result of WHO's contribution to strengthening the family practice programme in 2017 and not the contribution of a soul individual
“It is WHO as an organization and my staff in health system strengthening who have given me this opportunity and increased WHO's visibility in issues related to service delivery
This award belongs to all of us at the WHO country office in Pakistan and I am very proud of my team who work tirelessly to assist and implement planned activities to achieve a healthier Pakistan
