Diagnostics
Precise and accurate diagnosis of human related diseases (i.e., genetic disorders, pathogen infection, etc.) is of paramount importance for health care in both developed and developing countries. It ensures that patients have access to the most favourable therapeutic agents in the shortest time span, leading to better prognosis. This translates to significant reductions in the financial burden for health care systems. In developed countries, diagnostics is usually performed at centralized laboratories by specialized personnel. In developing countries, where these infrastructures usually lack the appropriate equipment and/or personnel, accurate diagnosis may be cost-prohibitive and therefore inaccessible. To overcome these bottlenecks, technologies that allow diagnosis at the site of care—point-of-care testing (POCT)—are of great importance, allowing for a reduction in sample transportation and processing, use at the point of need, and more importantly, a shorter time between diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic intervention.

Energy Harvesting
Solar energy utilization occurs in the form of PV parks and PVs installed on building roofs and facades to create electrical power as well as in the form of solar thermal collectors to heat water and space. PV technologies include two categories: building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) in which traditional building envelopes (windows, roofs, walls) are replaced by PV panels that act like envelopes; in building-applied photovoltaics (BAPV), PVs are attached to the walls or roof of the building. In BIPV, PV modules serve the dual function of building skin—replacing conventional building envelope materials—and power generator. By avoiding the cost of conventional materials, the incremental cost of photovoltaics is reduced and its life-cycle cost is improved. Building components can significantly reduce their energy consumption through implementing energy harvesting, self-sustained sensing and actuating devices with piezoelectric materials. Thermoelectric (TE) materials can be used in building façade systems, which can be used to create active exterior enclosures. Microalgae bioreactive façades are at an early stage in high-performance architecture, but have the potential to contribute to the improve energy and environmental footprint of buildings. The integration of microalgae bioreactors with a building can affect the building's thermal loads and significantly decrease the building's energy demands.

Edible films and coatings
Edible films and coatings are thin layers of material (their thickness is generally less than 0.3 mm) used for enrobing the food product to replace or fortify the natural layers and can be consumed as a part of the product or with further removal. Therefore, the materials used in the formulation should conform to the general food laws and regulations. Additionally, the coatings and films should not affect the organoleptic properties of the food product negatively. Edible films made from natural biopolymers provide a viable alternative to synthetic food packaging due to their edibility, biodegradability and compostability as well as to their use as active packaging. Active compounds incorporated in edible films could protect foods against deterioration during storage and therefore extend their shelf life. Hydrocolloids, both polysaccharides and proteins, are the most common group of biopolymers used in the production of edible materials. They can be obtained from sources such as plants, animals or microorganisms. Cellulose derivatives, starches, alginates, pectins, chitosans, pullulan, and carrageenans are the most popular polysaccharides used in the production of edible films and coating, whereas among proteins the most popular are soybean proteins, wheat gluten, corn zein, sunflower proteins, gelatin, whey, casein and keratin.

Edible films and coatings
Edible films and coatings are thin layers of material (their thickness is generally less than 0.3 mm) used for enrobing the food product to replace or fortify the natural layers and can be consumed as a part of the product or with further removal. Therefore, the materials used in the formulation should conform to the general food laws and regulations. Additionally, the coatings and films should not affect the organoleptic properties of the food product negatively. Edible films made from natural biopolymers provide a viable alternative to synthetic food packaging due to their edibility, biodegradability and compostability as well as to their use as active packaging. Active compounds incorporated in edible films could protect foods against deterioration during storage and therefore extend their shelf life. Hydrocolloids, both polysaccharides and proteins, are the most common group of biopolymers used in the production of edible materials. They can be obtained from sources such as plants, animals or microorganisms. Cellulose derivatives, starches, alginates, pectins, chitosans, pullulan, and carrageenans are the most popular polysaccharides used in the production of edible films and coating, whereas among proteins the most popular are soybean proteins, wheat gluten, corn zein, sunflower proteins, gelatin, whey, casein and keratin.

Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) refers to technologies that capture CO2 emissions and use or store them, leading to permanent sequestration. CCUS technologies capture carbon dioxide emissions from large power sources, including power generation or industrial facilities that use either fossil fuels or biomass for fuel. CO2 can also be captured directly from the atmosphere. If not utilized onsite, captured CO2 is compressed and transported by pipeline, ship, rail or truck to be used in a range of applications, or injected into deep geological formations (including depleted oil and gas reservoirs or saline formations) which trap the CO2 for permanent storage.

Energy harvesting
Solar energy utilization occurs in the form of PV parks and PVs installed on building roofs and facades to create electrical power as well as in the form of solar thermal collectors to heat water and space. PV technologies include two categories: building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) in which traditional building envelopes (windows, roofs, walls) are replaced by PV panels that act like envelopes; in building-applied photovoltaics (BAPV), PVs are attached to the walls or roof of the building. In BIPV, PV modules serve the dual function of building skin—replacing conventional building envelope materials—and power generator. By avoiding the cost of conventional materials, the incremental cost of photovoltaics is reduced and its life-cycle cost is improved. Building components can significantly reduce their energy consumption through implementing energy harvesting, self-sustained sensing and actuating devices with piezoelectric materials. Thermoelectric (TE) materials can be used in building façade systems, which can be used to create active exterior enclosures. Microalgae bioreactive façades are at an early stage in high-performance architecture, but have the potential to contribute to the improve energy and environmental footprint of buildings. The integration of microalgae bioreactors with a building can affect the building's thermal loads and significantly decrease the building's energy demands.
