Abstract Biocementation, i.e., the production of biomimetic cement through the metabolic activity of microorganisms, offers exciting new prospects for various civil and environmental engineering applications. This paper presents a systematic literature review on a biocementation pathway, which uses the carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity of microorganisms that sequester CO 2 to produce biocement. The aim is the future development of this technique for civil and (geo-)environmental engineering applications towards CO 2 -neutral or negative processes. After screening 248 potentially relevant peer-reviewed journal papers published between 2002 and 2023, 38 publications studying CA-biocementation were considered in the review. Some of these studies used pure CA enzyme rather than bacteria-produced CA. Of these studies, 7 used biocementation for self-healing concrete, 6 for CO 2 sequestration, 10 for geotechnical applications, and 15 for (geo-)environmental applications. A total of 34 bacterial strains were studied, and optimal conditions for their growth and enzymatic activity were identified. The review concluded that the topic is little researched; more studies are required both in the laboratory and field (particularly long-term field experiments, which are totally lacking). No studies on the numerical modelling of CA-biocementation and the required kinetic parameters were found. The paper thus consulted the more widely researched field of CO 2 sequestration using the CA-pathway, to identify other microorganisms recommended for further research and reaction kinetic parameters for numerical modelling. Finally, challenges to be addressed and future research needs were discussed.

Abstract The aim of this research is to critically evaluate the environmental implications of public pools in Costa Brava hotels, with a focus on their impact in terms of energy, water, and carbon footprint. The methodology employed hinges on the characterization of the stock of pools installed in the hotels of the region. Following this characterization, calculations were undertaken regarding water and energy consumption, in addition to the computation of the equivalent carbon footprint for the entirety of the pools combined. The findings of the study reveal an annual energy consumption of 1,850.2 MWh/year and an annual water evaporation consumption of 50,105 m 3 /year. As a result, the carbon footprint corresponding to these consumptions is 481.8 tCO 2 eq./year. Identified areas of improvement within the facilities encompassed the modernization of equipment towards more contemporary models with higher efficiencies, the adoption of holistic management approaches for pools, and the utilization of emerging modelling trends to enhance facility efficiency. Conclusions drawn from the research suggest that enhancing the sustainability of pools within the Costa Brava hospitality sector holds significant societal relevance, especially when considering the heightened water stress in Mediterranean climate zones during the peak tourist season. Improving the energy efficiency of these facilities not only contributes to environmental sustainability, but also cuts operational costs, allowing establishments to have more room to channel more resources towards their main hospitality tasks. Highlights Tourism is vital in global, Spanish, Catalan GDP and an environmental impact key. Costa Brava hotel pools use 1,850 MWh/year, 50,105 m 3 water/year, emit 482 tCO 2 /year. Modern equipment, management, and modelling trends enhance pool sustainability. Efficient pools cut costs, aid environment, free resources for hospitality. Tourism's future relies on holistic sustainability; efforts and policies are vital.
