"The pandemic triggered a historic energy demand shock that led to lower greenhouse gas emissions, decreases in energy production, and sometimes volatile commodity prices in 2020. ...
Other technologies on the list could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by electrifying air travel and enabling sunlight to directly power the production of industrial chemicals. ...
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 ...
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 ...
“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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Our renewable fuels have the potential to combat emissions while providing increased performance," said Jean-Marc Otero del Val, Deputy Senior Vice President New Energies, TOTAL. ...
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 ...
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 ...
