On its own, recycling more of our steel, cement, and plastic won’t be nearly enough to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, but it will help. To sum up, the path to zero emissions in manufacturing looks like this: 1. Electrify every process possible. This is going to take a lot of ...
There are two numbers you need to know about climate change. The first is 51 billion. The other is zero. Fifty-one billion is how many tons of greenhouse gases the world typically adds to the atmosphere every year. Although the figure may go up or down a bit from year to year, it...
But trade-offs and alternative scenarios to the ones examined in this report may also have substantive effects that need to be studied further to create a more meaningful decision-making framework. The overall task of r...
A temple in Thailand turns plastic bottles into new robes for monks, helping to process ten tonnes of plastic waste every month. Returnable packaging schemes, where consumers return reusable packaging in a shop or a drop-off po...
Ultimately,generating less garbageis the only way to eliminate the environmental impacts of garbage. 最终,减少垃圾的产生是消除垃圾对环境影响的唯一途径。 来源:How Waste Incineration Works - Earth911 垃圾焚烧在处理上虽依旧会存在一定的空气污染,但对于垃圾渗透液的出现可以很好的遏制,同时对于一些有毒物质也...
While technically renewable, burning wood generates greenhouse gases and contributes to climate change. Like heat pumps, these are great for heating homes and water, but they will not generate electricity. Therefore, you need an alternative way to heat water in summer when you don’t want to bu...
Finding ways to reduce work truck engine idling can help reduce or eliminate many of these headaches. EnPak A30GBW power systems from Miller Electric Mfg. LLC provide compressed air, electrical power, battery charging, and welding while also delivering power to support 12-volt DC needs — all ...
Transportation is considered one of the largest offenders of greenhouse gas emissions. The average passenger vehicle that can be employed by virtually any food delivery app emits around 4.6 metric tons of greenhouse gases every year. The food delivery industry poses a huge problem with carbon emissio...
Operating rooms have not focused on environmental impacts. But a growing movement among surgical teams is trying to change that. The modern OR is energy-intensive, produces bags of plastic waste, and outputs substantial amounts of greenhouse gases. Simpl
Carbon capture refers to a group of experimental technologies that seek to remove and sequester greenhouse gases, either at the point of combustion or from the atmosphere. This technology has been heavily promoted by the fossil fuel industry, although it has yet to deliver on those expectations.10...
