Role of green technologies in industries

It can be very easily seen that the industrial revolution, which began about 150 years ago, has added significant quantities of GHGs (Green House gases) to the atmosphere. The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide have grown by about 31%, 151% and 17%, respectively, between 1750 and 2000 (IPCC 2001). [Pg.96]

Developed coimtries produce three times the amount of COj emission compared to the developing region of the word. It is the starting point of pollution problem. The population increased fast and the wants of the people also increased disproportionately. The society shifted to a materialistic one. The population no longer desired to remain with Nature but wanted to exploit it. [Pg.96]

As a result the equilibrium shifted from a balanced to a disturbed environment. Recently, Mr. Pachouri also has emphasized on this problem. Industries are necessary for economic progress and to manage the population. [Pg.96]

Currently, this clean technology is in the beginning stage of its development, so the future will only bring bigger and better things for this field. [Pg.96]

Green technology (abbreviated as GreenTeeh) is also called as environmental teehnology (abbreviated as EnviroTech) or elean technology (abbreviated as CleanTech). This teehnology utilizes the principles of environmental science to conserve the natural environment and resources. [Pg.97]
