The new phase of zeolite – Nikos Lygeros

The new phase for zeolite stems from a strategic combination of applications and licensing. The former demonstrate to producers in practical terms what zeolite offers in terms of product quality and increased production. The latter, with the first licence granted, are beginning to attract investment interest, and the number of candidates for deposit sites is increasing. This strategic combination is yielding its first results, and we have an ever-increasing amount of technical and scientific data. Thrace is at the heart of this collaboration and is demonstrating that it has taken the issue seriously, even at an institutional level. Applications on ... Read more

Intermediate technologies towards a low-carbon economy. The Greek zeolite CCS outlook in relation to EU commitments

The technological foundations for a successful economic transition towards a low-carbon economy are outlined. An attempt is made to link the combustion of fossil fuels (lignite) with the requirements for sustainable energy production in Greece, proposing economical, feasible and environmentally friendly methods to minimise the CO₂ problem using innovative techniques for the separation, carbon capture and storage (CCS) of this greenhouse gas. CCS represents an intermediate step towards low-carbon energy production. Cost-effective and efficient CCS methods can be achieved through new physicochemical approaches that enhance adsorption-driven carbon dioxide capture in zeolite pores or in depleted lignite matrices, potentially by utilising ...

Question by A. Kontou and E. Stylianidis on the utilisation of zeolite in Thrace

A question was put to the Ministers for the Environment, Finance, Development and Rural Development, as well as the Minister for Macedonia and Thrace, was tabled by New Democracy MPs Alexandros Kontos and Evripidis Stylianidis, raising the issue of the utilisation of zeolite in Thrace. As they state: One of the greatest opportunities for development in our country’s agricultural sector, as well as in other sectors, lies in the exploitation and use of zeolite, large deposits of which are found in the region of Thrace. Unfortunately, however, for procedural and legal reasons, as well as to serve personal interests, this ... Read more

The battle over the sugar factories – Nikos Lygeros

The fight for sugar factories in Greece is a national issue and we must not limit it to local concerns. Greece has the capacity to produce high-quality sugar and must not only continue but also increase its production. This objective is not unattainable, as there is potential for the use of zeolite in this sector as well. The discussions held at the Nea Orestiada factory are not only encouraging but also allow us to foresee its immediate application in crop cultivation. The idea, therefore, is not simply to support a structure and infrastructure that some may regard as outdated, nor ... Read more

Zeolite at the Didymoteicho and Maistro sports grounds. Methorios newspaper

Zeolite at the Didymoteicho and Maistro sports grounds. Methorios newspaper Residents of Evros, in collaboration with the local councils, decided to make use of the beneficial properties of zeolite. Consequently, last week, zeolite was applied to the turf at the sports ground of A.O. Maistro, as well as at the Didymoteicho sports ground. The work, as well as the briefing on the beneficial properties of zeolite, was carried out by staff from the Department of Parks and Green Spaces of the Municipality of Alexandroupoli, whilst in Didymoteicho the work was carried out by the ‘Kastropolites’ Association, as well as by ...
