Worldwide, the taxation and payments for resources and emissions are devised in such a manner as to make it more profitable for the manufacturer to resolve the environmental issues in-plant, rather than to shift them off to the consumer area. A combination of sanctions with economic incentives for a cleaner production will make the latter not a recipient from, but rather a donor to the government budget.Yet even domination of a cleaner economy policy will not soon guarantee survival of the population under a deep economic crisis like the current one. The anthropogenic damage already caused to nature may prove too heavy and not lending itself to repair within the life span of one or even more generations. [Pg.31]

The key industry drivers are based mainly on cost reduction, reduced energy consumption, and environmental issues. The main components of economy where UV/EB technology has been growing are ... [Pg.239]

The choice of the values of X and Y, which have long-term consequences, requires consideration of the conflicting problems of sustainable national economy and world environmental threat. The economy issues stem from such needs as the increase in electricity supply and the reduction of petroleum import. The environmental issues stem from such desires as the abatement of global emission of greenhouse gases and local emission of smog-forming vehicle exhaust. [Pg.323]

The lack of a robust set of economic metrics to value hydrogen is another barrier that was mentioned. The measures used to value hydrogen (and other forms of energy) are rooted in a petroleum-based economy that does not necessarily reflect the actual costs of energy. The decisions that will lead to the incorporation of hydrogen into the energy mix will likely derive from dealing with security and environmental issues, none of which are adequately valued today. [Pg.36]

Drawing Conclusions Environmental issues affecting the entire planet usually involve so many variables that it is often difficult to pinpoint a primary source of the problem. Conflicting data from many experiments often divide the views of those in the scientific community. The effect of carbon dioxide emissions on global warming has been a particularly controversial issue because efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions may require humans to make dramatic changes in their lifestyles and could exact enormous demands on the world economy. [Pg.860]

The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the Earth Summit) that took place at Rio de Janeiro in 1992 tried to help redress the balance (with mixed results) by encouraging states to take responsibility for policing their own environmental issues. This proved very effective in industrialised countries, which continue to tighten their control, and chemical industry associations played their part through initiatives such as the Voluntary Energy Efficiency Programme (VEEP). Even so, economic considerations have perpetuated the concept of pollution havens elsewhere, and the export of low added value processes to less effectively policed economies continues. [Pg.97]

The polar character of this molecule often requires the use of polar cosolvents to ensure its complete solubilization. This aspect not only affects the productivity and consequently, once again, the economy of the process but also raises important environmental issues. New smart-designed lipophilic derivatives analogous to NHPI need to be developed to solve this problem. [Pg.254]

Rapid industrial development and the diversified character of the world economy today have led to large volumes of different types of wastewaters. Also, hazardous waste disposal has become a leading environmental issue. Many industrial processes generate polluted wastewater that require necessary treatment to meet environmental regulations prior to discharge into receiving waters. [Pg.663]

In 1997, Toyota Motor Company launched electric hybrid vehicles into the world market, followed by Nissan and Honda a few years later. They were very popular because of the good fuel economy and the increasing interest in global environmental issue. Therefore, all of the car manufacturers worldwide accelerated their research and development for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) technology. Although the batteries used for HEV by Toyota and Honda are nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries and they are major batteries in the field at present, the pressure for development is put on not Ni-MH but lithium because of the superior characteristics in power, weight, heat generation, and so on to Ni-MH. [Pg.267]
