Perhaps the biggest environmental challenge for ironmaking processes into the twenty-first century involves responding to the concerns about global warming. Ironmaking processes require the use of carbon-based reductants, and ultimately result in the emission of carbon dioxide.

Catalysts are extensively used and have played a huge role in making bulk chemical manufacturing technology more competitive and environmentally fnendly. Undoubtedly catalysis will continue to provide the answer to many economic and environmental challenges currently faced by industry. As indicated above catalysts are now needed by the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and they need to be robust, selective, recoverable and reusable. 

The significant environmental challenges associated with increased energy use, coupled with increasing competition for fossil fuel supplies, suggest that nuclear power should continue to be an important part of the mix in planning the energy future. 

The increasing level of C02 emission is considered one of the major environmental challenges that our planet is facing today. The concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reached a new record in 2013, with C02 at 396 ppm which represents 142% of the concentration of the pre-industrial era [1], Findings of a recent global atmosphere watch reported in a... 

At this time of a deep economic crisis, the economic and environmental challenges must be met simultaneously, in keeping with one... 

Marine mammals have adapted to an aquatic or semi-aquatic lifestyle with such features as reduced or eliminated limb structures, a blubber layer for thermoregulatory, nutritional, buoyancy and locomotory roles, and reproductive strategies conducive to fitness in a given biogeographic zone (habitat). The environmental challenges faced by newborn marine mammals at birth may explain there largely precocious nature and the apparent maturity of the immune system of newborn marine mammals [1],...

Our planet, and every individual on it, faces substantial environmental challenges. Many in the scientific community argue that changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide, methane, and other less common gases could trigger an ecological catastrophe of staggering proportions.
