Download or read book Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics written by National Academy of Engineering and National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-08-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics is a corporate-focused analysis that brings clarity and practicality to the complex issues of environmental metrics in industry. The book examines the metrics implications to businesses as their responsibilities expand beyond the factory gateâ€"upstream to suppliers and downstream to products and services. It examines implications that arise from greater demand for comparability of metrics among businesses by the investment community and environmental interest groups. The controversy over what sustainable development means for businesses is also addressed. Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics identifies the most useful metrics based on case studies from four industriesâ€"automotive, chemical, electronics, and pulp and paperâ€"and includes specific corporate examples. It contains goals and recommendations for public and private sector players interested in encouraging the broader use of metrics to improve industrial environmental performance and those interested in addressing the tough issues of prioritization, weighting of metrics for meaningful comparability, and the longer term metrics needs presented by sustainable development.

Download or read book Life Cycle Assessment in the Chemical Product Chain written by Simone Maranghi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines the methodologies, approaches and tools for modelling chemicals in a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) perspective, and also covers the main advantages and drawbacks of applying LCA to chemical processes. In the first part of this book, authors pay close attention to the limitations of modelling the environmental and social impacts of chemical processes, providing valuable insights to the problems of the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) analysis for chemical processes. In the second part of this book, readers will learn about the LCA application to chemical processes in the laboratory and industrial scale. In each chapter of this book, readers will also find specific case studies on the modelling and application of LCA in the chemical industry.

Book excerpt: The definitive guide for scientific entrepreneurs commercializing sustainable technologies in the chemical sector Lacking the considerable resources of multinational chemical companies, entrepreneurs face a unique set of risks and challenges. How to Commercialize Chemical Technologies for a Sustainable Future is targeted at innovators who are embarking on the entrepreneurial path with their sustainable chemical technology but are unsure of what steps to take. This first-of-its-kind resource features contributions from a diverse team of expert authors, including engineers, venture capitalists, marketing specialists, intellectual property professionals, regulatory experts, industry practitioners, and many others. Accessible and highly practical, this real-world guide covers each step of the technology commercialization process, from market landscape analysis and financing to scale-up and strategic partnering. Throughout the book, effective tactics and strategies for growing a new venture are supported by case studies highlighting the economic and environmental impact of successful commercialization, and identifying the common mistakes that lead to lost opportunities. Filled with invaluable advice and actionable steps, this book: Uses valuation concepts, tools, and examples to demonstrate that for a chemical technology to be sustainable it must not only have market value but also confer benefits to human well-being and the environment Offers templates and tools for understanding what customers need, who the competition is and how to successfully differentiate your product to those customers Describes how to practically advance your technology from conception all the way to commercial demonstration Presents advantages and disadvantages of strategic partnering from the perspective of the start-up and the larger industrial partner, along with strategies to mitigate risks within a partnership Provides an overview of the legal regulatory requirements for bringing new chemicals to market in several key geographic regions, as well as the impact of public policy on commercialization Offers insights and practical strategies on intellectual property management, raising investment, and operationalizing a startup company How to Commercialize Chemical Technologies for a Sustainable Future is essential reading for budding entrepreneurs in chemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering looking to bring their sustainable technologies to market. It is also a valuable reference for investors, policymakers, regulators, and other professionals.
Download or read book The Impact of New Technologies on Scale written by Dilek Çetindamar Karaömerlioğlu and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technological developments are changing many aspects of production including scale. It is expected that small firms and developing countries will benefit from the scaling-down impact of the new technologies based on microelectronics. This expectation remains to be investigated. Therefore, this study attempts to observe the impact of new technologies on scale from developing countries (DCs) perspective which is based on the analysis of the relationship between technology and economies of scale. Although technology has direct implications on the costoutput relationship which is the basis of economies of scale, the changes in this relationship has not been examined in the literature. Thus, there is a growing necessity for the analysis of the impact of new technologies on economies of scale, which will improve our understanding of changes in economies of scale. This thesis provided some empirical data about the impact of new technologies on economies of scale by conducting a case study in Turkey. However, considering the breadth of the subject, the study limited itself to the investigation of the impact of process control technology (PCT) on economies of scale in the chemical industry, particularly in the bulk chemicals subsector in Turkey. By examining the impact of PCT on production performances, on sources of economies of scale, and on costs, we observed that the total impact of PCT on economies of product scale was neutral, while on economies of both plant and firm scale, it resulted in a scaling-up trend. Moreover, the results of our study pointed out that complementary arrangements (such as restructuring of organizations and integration of all functions of firms) are required in order to utilize fully the benefits of PCT. Following the conclusions of this study, the study draws the following lessons for developing countries similar to Turkey. They need to: invest on PCT; develop a strong technical human capital base; learn how to coordinate their investments in a network context; build technological co-operations among DC firms and between DC and industrialized country firms; and integrate their technology policies with their industrial and trade policies. In sum, we conclude that for successful economic development, DCs need to study the conditions of each industry by analyzing the impact of new technologies on economies of scale. Then, according to these results and with due consideration given to expected trends in world markets, DCs may build up their technology and industry policies at macro level.
