Green Economies

Proposed fuel-cell vehicle designs utilize a hydrogen tank, which is quite large, bulky, and potentially dangerous. If an alcohol tank is used with steam reformation, however, it may be feasible to eliminate the associated problems with the pressurized tank system. In a green economy, the ideal fuel source would be a renewable source of fuel such as biomass. 

Coal development and utilization must adhere to the scientific outlook on development in order to achieve safety, efficiency, greenness, economy, society coordination and sustainable exploitation. (Xie HePing, et al.2012) Strategic objectives should reflect the following five points first is the innovation model of coal development and utilization which stresses quality and benefit second is the extension of downstream industry chain to enhance coal s value, promote the transformation of coal s deep processing and increase economic added value third is the increase in studies on coal s basic theories and technology so as to achieve safe, efficient and clean digital mine forth is the realization of comprehensive occupational protection which attached importance to...

The performances of nature are imique generators of precious chemical systems and adaptable to extreme conditions. It is a multidisciplinary source of inspiration, which the researcher must understand in order to sustainably valorize and restore it if necessary. Nature can be the starting point of a new circular green economy sector that reconciles ecology and chemistry. The characterization of chemical mediation, and therefore functional metabolites, selected over thousands of years of evolution and co-evolution for their efficacy and selectivity on cellular receptors, feeds research domains involved in medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, phytopharmacy or on a wider scale in chemistry for everyday life. 

On the other hand, the new-to-world renewable polymers are polymers that do not have an identical chemical structure to any of today s petroleum-derived polymers. Examples of these polymers are PLA, PHA and its copolymers, PBS, thermoplastic starch (TPS), poly(ethylene furanoate) (PEE), poly(propylene carbonate) (PPG), and poly(ethylene carbonate) (PEC). The structures of these polymers and their thermal transitions are given in Table 11.9. As we move toward the new green economy and away from the petroleum-based economy, it is expected that the new-to-world renewable polymCTS will dominate the market applications.
