As climate change remains a pressing global concern, the shift towards biofuels is crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting energy sustainability. Biofuels are classified into first-, second-, and third-generation based on their production technology and feedstock. ...
U.S. hospitals, health systems, suppliers, pharmaceutical companies, and other industry stakeholders have been invited to submit pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase their climate resilience. The voluntary pledge asks signees to, at a minimum, commit to (1) reducing their organization’s emissions (by 50% by 2030 and to net-zero by 2050) ...
7th April 2022 marks World Health Day, a key date in the calendar for the World Health Organisation (WHO), and for ION Science. In a decade that has already seen increasing focus and pressure on improving health, protecting the planet, and reducing the impact of emissions, 2022’s World Health Day brings with it the strong but simple message of ‘Our Planet, Our Health.’ WHO have ...
ION Science produces and distributes a wide range of gas detection instruments globally, and MiniPID gas sensors for OEMs. Fixed gas detectors allow for sitewide monitoring, ideal for use across large areas, including pipelines or storage tanks. ...
This would be great news for the climate, as it would enable farmers to bypass nitrogen fertilizers, which are used to grow around 40 percent of the world’s food but also account for roughly 4 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Sustainability: Three-fold increase in volume of renewable energy sourced via supply agreements Bayer is also ...

Catalytic Products International (CPI) recently installed a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) at a Midwest USA medical products manufacturer for the abatement of volatile organic compounds (VOC). The 10,000 SCFM TRITON-10.95 Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) will control VOC emissions from a single strip coating line and tunnel dryer. In this application the exhaust stream contains solvents ...
Our equipment is also at work meeting energy conservation strategies and minimizing greenhouse gas (GHG) ...
The Sterilis method of disposal eliminates toxic air pollution created when RMW is incinerated, which is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. “We created the Sterilis device to address a burning need for more sustainable and safer disposal of medical waste, and we are honored to see our efforts recognized by Environmental Leader,” said ...
Research for the whitepaper shows that for every $1 trillion in revenue generated, the healthcare sector requires $28 billion in environmental resources — equivalent to 3% of annual revenue. Greenhouse gas emissions are by far the biggest impact, followed by water use and air pollution. ...
Commercial buildings in the United States are responsible for 17 percent of the nation’s energy use and greenhouse gas emissions at a cost of more than $175 billion annually. By improving the energy efficiency of the places Americans work, play, and learn, the competitors help save energy and reduce harmful greenhouse gas ...
“Studying the metabolism of today’s societies reveals that small-scale short-term plumbing will not suffice to substantially reduce risks that paradoxically arise from the success of industrialization,” says lead editor Helga Weisz, co-chair of PIK's research domain Transdiciplinary Concepts and Methods. “Our greenhouse-gas emissions and ...
Education and outreach efforts were then targeted to reduce the facility’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In 2014, Federal Green Challenge participants nationwide saved taxpayers over $24 million by diverting over 390,000 tons of solid waste from landfills, saving nearly 80 million gallons of water, sending 450 tons old electronics to ...
The photovoltaic (PV) solar array annually will generate more than 8 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of sustainable electricity to help the nonprofit health organization offset approximately 25 percent of its total electrical usage – and reduce yearly greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to nearly six million pounds of burned coal. ...
RSB certification validates sustainable production including greenhouse gas emission reductions, respect for human rights, protection of biodiversity and water and maintenance of food security. ...
Energy use in commercial buildings accounts for nearly 20 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions at a cost of more than $100 billion per year. Thousands of businesses and organizations work with EPA’s Energy Star program and are saving billions of dollars, preventing millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions from ...
EPA’s Food Recovery Challenge invites organizations nationwide to save money through reducing, purchasing and lowering disposal fees for unconsumed food; supporting their community by diverting wholesome surplus food to feed people, not landfills; and reducing their environmental footprint and greenhouse gas emissions through sustainable food management. ...
EPA is proposing $176.5 million for the agency’s work with partners and stakeholders to provide information and tools to cut greenhouse gas emissions. These funds will support reducing emissions in the U.S. and abroad through careful, cost-effective rulemaking and voluntary programs that focus on the largest entities while also encouraging businesses and ...
