Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Almudena Hospido"
- Almudena Hospido's research primarily focuses on enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of wastewater management, as evidenced by her development of statistical tools and benchmarking methods to analyze energy efficiency in wastewater treatment plants, offering potential improvements to process performance.
- Her studies emphasize the importance of sludge management practices and life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies, particularly in contexts such as the environmental performance of anaerobic digestion and the valorization of organic wastes into valuable products like carboxylates and biodegradable plastics, thus contributing to a circular economy.
- Additionally, Hospido investigates the impacts of climate change on agricultural practices, such as raw milk loss from bovine mastitis in dairy farms, combining environmental assessments to develop strategies that mitigate farming's ecological footprint and improve resilience against climate variability.
