Environmental Assessment and Strategic Technology Choice
The scale of the required changes is huge, and time is limited if we are to avoid the most severe effects of climate change. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from road transport, several fuels and electricity originating from renewable energy sources have been proposed, all of them in different stages of development and with various and shifting environmental impacts. This thesis aims at incr...
متن کاملDual-camera, high-resolution aerial assessment of pipeline revegetation.
Energy-extraction results in significant disturbance to rangelands in Wyoming and other western US states. Although reclamation is required by law, US General Accounting Office reports from 1999 and 2005 are clear that affected government agencies have--over much of the past decade--had difficulty accomplishing mandated environmental monitoring of extraction-related disturbance. We evaluated tw...
متن کاملEnvironmental technology assessment of natural gas compared to biogas
1.1 Historical background In a historical perspective, biogas has been produced since the second half of the 19th century. India and China were among the pioneering countries, where biogas produced from manure and kitchen waste for long time has been used as a fuel for gas cookers and lamps. In Sweden, biogas has been produced at municipal waste water treatment plants since the 1960’s. The prim...
متن کاملOrware: an Aid to Environmental Technology Chain Assessment
This article discusses the ORWARE tool, a model originally developed for environmental systems analysis of waste management systems, and shows its prospect as a tool for Environmental Technology Chain Assessment. Different concepts of technology assessment are presented to put ORWARE into context in the discussion that has been going for more than two decades since the establishment of the U.S....
متن کاملRevegetation Priorities
Revegetation is a needed means of mitigating man-made and natural disturbance. Our current ability to address environmental insults contrasts sharply with that existing when John Muir fi rst sowed the roots of environmental awareness or Aldo Leopold and Hugh H. Bennett inspired a land ethic and a sense of stewardship. We now have considerable revegetation science and experience and—equally impo...
