Production centre

In areas where seabed relief makes pipelines vulnerable or where pipelines cannot be justified on economic grounds, tankers are used to store and transport crude from production centres. The simplest method for evacuation is to pump stabilised crude from a processing facility directly to a tanker. 

The term origin is often used synonymously with both source and production centre, but is less specific than either. 

For these and other reasons, it has become commonplace to compare fired ceramic material with fired ceramic material assumed to be representative of a particular production centre. Material of assumed provenance can be used, but, for preference, kiln wasters are often used as comparative material. These are vessels that have failed in the firing for some reason, and...

Production Centres Programme to contribute to sustainable productivity and to the competitiveness of industries in developing countries and countries with economies in transition. 

Over the past decade UNIDO, being responsible for the implementation and management of the Programme, established National Cleaner Production Centres (NCPCs) and National Cleaner Production Programmes (NCPPs) in 38 countries. In addition, UNIDO started its first Regional Cleaner Production Network in Latin America in 2005 with 14 countries participating.

The different lubricant suppliers made a technical proposal of their services (technical approach, monitoring, quality of the products, take back lubricants exhaust from the sugar mill, reports on lubricant consumption, environmental benefits like water consumption reduction, energy savings, increase of equipment life-cycles, statistics and controlling) as well as a time schedule for the work plan. Each of the suppliers accepted agreements concluded in a collaboration contract between the Mexican Cleaner Production Centre, the sugar mill and the lubricants supplier. 

The work of the Mexican Cleaner Production Centre was to support the technical analysis together with the sugar mill to identify the best services, product quality and environmental benefits offered by different suppliers. After the evaluation the suppliers for the zafra were selected, and a contract was signed to implement Chemical Leasing. For the zafra 2007 two supplying companies were selected. 

To collaborate with the group of the Mexican Cleaner Production Centre to comply with the business model. 

The new process started its operation in 2006. The Mexican Cleaner Production Centre evaluated the actual performance in order to check the economic and environmental benefits (reduction in the nickel consumption) and the functionality of the scheme of payment that forms the basis for the service of the chemical agents (brighteners) that was provided. 

The North-Western International Cleaner Production Centre (NWICPC) as the project coordinator organised the communication (meetings, workshops, agreement preparation) between the representatives of the service provider and recipient, provided them with the information about the advantages of the Chemical Leasing business model and promoted the national and international support of the project. 

It should be noted that the present toolkit is the first attempt to provide concrete guidelines for experts and especially independent monitoring institutions like National Cleaner Production Centres (NCPCs) that are working with industry on Chemical Leasing business models. UNIDO intends to revise and update the toolkit on a regular basis and also to elaborate a specific Chemical Leasing manual in the near future. 

The position of a potential Chemical Leasing project in the matrix indicates the efforts that a National Cleaner Production Centre or an independant expert should undertake to promote the project. If all three areas show a high score, the potential for a successful ChL project is high. 

Once established, Chemical Leasing approaches satisfied all the partners involved, who unanimously declared that implementation was successful and that they do not at all regret having carried it out and that its merits are obvious, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. In this context, the coordinating activities of independent entities, such as the UNIDO National Cleaner Production Centres (NCPCs), are considered to be important key factors for success and also ensure adequate benefit sharing and proper monitoring of Chemical Leasing projects.

There are three distinct production centres for opiates which supply three distinct markets, namely ... 

Cannabis is the largest illicit drug market by far and its size is one of its most important characteristics. Its consumer market is large, roughly 160 million people its production centres are widely dispersed, existing in almost every country in the world and its factors of production can be both flexible, rudimentary and small scale and permanent, highly technical and large scale. The widespread nature of production and consumption make it very difficult to define and quantify. The consumer market for cannabis is also different. The size of the consumer market for cannabis could imply that consumers are more varied.
