At the Washington Auto Show, Novozymes, in partnership with US-based advanced biofuel manufacturer Fiberight , demonstrated two flex-fuel vehicles—a Chevy HHR and a Ford F150—running on E85, with the ethanol produced from government office waste paper and waste cardboard. million was given in 2002, and the second for $12.3
Singapore’s largest waste management company, Sembcorp, is starting a one-year field trial to assess market acceptance, cost-effectiveness and customer satisfaction of the Mercedes-Benz Econic waste collection truck with Natural Gas Technology. The Econic, introduced in 1998, has been available with natural gas drive since 2002.
Water splitting provides ions that continuously regenerate the ion exchange resin and enables electrochemical solution pH control. RW-EDI has many potential uses including direct production and separation of products, product purification, desalination, salt waste recovery, and water recycling. Top: RW-EDI stack.
The KPMG study, “Expect the Unexpected: Building Business Value in a Changing World”, explores issues such as climate change, energy and fuel volatility, water availability and cost and resource availability, as well as population growth spawning new urban centers.

million metric tons of electronic waste in 2019, up more than 21% over five years, according to the United Nations’ most recent assessment. Only about 17% of that e-waste was recycled, and what happens to the rest can be detrimental for both human health and privacy. The world generated a record 53.6 We have so, so, so many devices.
Intentional-use sectors: Disposal and incineration of product waste, cremation emissions, chlor-alkali industry. The session is expected to culminate in the adoption of a new convention by the 147 states attending the session to reduce mercury emissions and releases to the air, water and land. Source: UNEP.

The AP1000 is a 1,100 megawatt electric pressurized-water reactor that includes passive safety features that would cool down the reactor after an accident without the need for human intervention. additional waste-water monitor tanks. revisions to buildings for enhanced protection (such as for aircraft impact).
As an example of the type of work, SDSMT researchers just published a study, supported in part by the BuG ReMeDEE initiative, on the production of methane methanol and electricity from organic waste. This, the deepest mine in North America, began filling with water following its closure in 2002. Johnson, Bhupinder S.
We also produce a huge amount of waste and we are looking at schemes that convert biomass into hydrogen. So as well as producing a clean fuel we would be reducing the amount of waste we put into landfill. These are early days, but I am tremendously excited by the prospects of London’s hydrogen future.
Maritime traffic on the world’s oceans has increased four-fold over the past 20 years, likely causing more water, air and noise pollution on the open seas, according to a new study quantifying global ship traffic. The number of ships traversing the oceans grew by 60% between 1992 and 2002.
Volkswagen only managed to create significantly positive Sustainable Value in 2001, 2002 and 2007. The ranking of the 17 manufacturers based on the Sustainable Value Margin. Click to enlarge. In 2007, Daimler AG (replacing DaimlerChrysler in the analysis as of 2007) manages to close the gap to BMW Group and Toyota considerably.
Small-scale GTL facilities based on the use of microchannel reactors and designed for use on offshore platforms have the potential to turn unwanted associated gas into an energy asset and halt wasteful flaring or expensive re-injection. Earlier post.) It then will operate for approximately nine months. Offshore GTL. Earlier post.).
Volkswagen has been represented in the marketplace with CNG engines since 2002. If, however, it is produced in a sustainable way, for instance as biomethane from agricultural waste, then looked at from well-to-wheel it facilitates a form of mobility that produces appreciably less CO 2. CNG and lambda split process.
The reasons, while complex, are most likely due to the seasonal feeding behavior of planktonic animal life, and specifically to the effects of the dark Antarctic winter on plant and animal growth and the mixing of surface and deep waters by winter storms. Instead of stopping after 60 days, however, the Carbon Explorers kept operating.
Hydrogen produced by water electrolysis has the potential to be a useful means of storing excess electricity generated using wind, solar, and other intermittent renewable energy. Analysis of excess and/or waste hydrogen sources. Integrated renewable hydrogen systems and public-private community-based partnerships.
The pump drives the closed loop aquaponics system that takes nutrients from fish in a large water tank and delivers them to growing plants in the greenhouse which then filters the water and sends it back to the tank. Aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (growing plants in water) becomes aquaponics when combined.
We’re now in the crisis CalCars knew, when we began in 2002, would some day arrive. (We Even on land, getting oil from tar sands depletes water and other resources and doubles oil’s carbon footprint. We’ve already decided we’re going to fix already-built houses, offices and factories that waste energy. And oil only seems cheap.
It was wasteful, made being a hardware manufacturer more costly, and added to consumer confusion. If Intel didn’t want to support a given standard, that standard would likely be dead in the water. They had a direct say on what appeared on the motherboards of millions of computers, and that gave them impressive power to wield.
The outer one was filled with water, the inner between the two walls supposedly had wild animals roaming around. The problem - lack of water. Rain water harvesting was tried out. An artificial lake, Moti jheel, was also made for storing water. Alas, these visitors have stopped coming here since 2002.
This subtopic seeks research and development projects on novel lubricant formulations expected to improve the efficiency of advanced combustion regime engines by at least 10% (improvement based on comparison to similarly configured 2002 or later commercially available combustion engine). AOI 2: Lightweighting Materials.
The update identifies eight key sectors for ongoing action: Energy; Transportation, fuels, land use and infrastructure; Agriculture; Water; Waste management; Natural lands; Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (such as methane and black carbon); and Green Buildings. Transportation.
He started at CNET News in 2002, covering IT and Web development. No, if you look at the picture it actually has 6 wheels but drives on 2 to waste energy. by galeso April 10, 2009 9:38 AM PDT jsargent, thanks I would have missed the wasted energy argument. Before that, he was executive editor at IT publication InfoWorld.
He started at CNET News in 2002, covering IT and Web development. Those same types of efficiency improvements are "feasible at large scale even without a lot of equipment. Price and consumption awareness leads to a conservation effect," Schurr said. Martin LaMonica is a senior writer for CNETs Green Tech blog. E-mail Martin.
We should have built more Nuclear power plants and created a nuclear waste recycling program. I had surmised this in my 2002 car design thesis [link] even before anyone was talking about plug in series hybrids. Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal.
