ICT for Energy Efficiency: Commercial and industrial

Posted in Energy Efficiency  by

global energy consumption is high and rising, the traditional energy resources become scarce and expensive. Moreover, the emissions from the use of fossil fuels linked to global climate change and to grow in many countries are subject to regulation. Consequently, governments, businesses and consumers around the world looking for products and services to increase energy efficiency.

World Trade energy consumption was 462 quadrillion Btu in 2005. In the future world energy consumption expected to grow 19% from 2015 to 551 quadrillion Btu in 2005. Conventional fuels such as oil and other liquid petroleum products, natural gas and coal, the world’s largest sources of energy.

Together these sources to be approximately 85% of the energy in the world in 2010. Even considering technological advances and the share of renewables in the global supply of conventional fuels is expected to remain unchanged until 2015. If fossil fuels, these resources are limited, and current projections suggest that in a relatively short period of time. Moreover, the use of biofuel leads to the emission of greenhouse gases linked to global climate change. Together with the fact that the electricity used in the production of these sources is still expensive, the current energy consumption patterns are unsustainable.

Products and Services Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector to enable the energy efficiency and emission reduction. ICT can be used to capture, analyze and explore the vast amounts of information, which may lead to optimizing the energy consumption in large, energy-dependent sectors such as energy, industry and logistics to respond. Moreover, ICT products and technologies to reduce energy consumption in various sectors to reduce through intelligent buildings, dematerialisation and reimbursement of travel expenses. Concurrently have many innovations and developments taking place in the ICT sector is expected the energy consumption of ICT products to reduce them.

continuous development and deployment of powerful computers and peripherals, servers and data center cooling technologies, telecommunications equipment and infrastructure is expected to energy efficiency in the ICT sector. Globally, these improvements are expected to use energy and information products to reduce 895 billion kWh in 2015.

Although the observed size of the savings is small compared to what effects these agents are expected to use ICT in all other areas of human enterprise. The global use of energy-efficient power of ICT, industrial and logistics sectors as well as through cross-sectoral impact on energy-efficient buildings possible, mobile substitution and dematerialization is expected to more than 6.463 trillion kWh in 2015.

total energy savings from improved energy efficiency of ICT products themselves and the effectiveness of the potential impact of these products to the rest of the energy sectors and activities as a result of an expected increase from 2.618 trillion kWh in 2010 and 7.358 trillion kWh in 2015. This same energy as the 4.5% of global energy consumption is expected in 2015.

help reduce global energy consumption of ICT products is also expected to significantly reduce global emissions. Global emission reductions through energy-smart ICT solutions are expected to 1.393 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2010, 3.892 billion tons in 2015. This reflects a 8.7% decline in the expected share of global carbon dioxide emissions at the moment.

overall value created through energy efficiency, the use of energy-intelligent communications products and solutions for all industries is expected to grow 0000000000 in 2010 exceeded 8 billion euros in 2015. At the same time the overall value created by the possibility to earn one billion for emission reductions expected in 2015.

Total value created by the global energy and emissions savings are estimated at 5 billion euros in 2010 and is expected to grow to 8 billion by 2015. This represents a significant value creating effect of a gradual introduction of energy-smart ICT products and solutions for a number of energy-intensive sectors of energy efficiency compared to the reference year 2005 to improve.

The management and pollution ACCOUNTS:

Posted in Environmental  by

Introduction

The main reason for pollution in the world is a result of the continuing massive industrialization release wastewater to reduce emissions of various chemicals and hazardous wastes creates units of undermining the quality of life and indifferent to the future social and economic consequences of their managerial decisions. This requires a global movement for environmental protection in the beginning, that can be recycled to the Stockholm Declaration in 1972, after the Vienna Convention for the protection layer 1985 and the Montreal Protocol was signed in 1987 to reduce ozone depleting substances (ODS ) from the atmosphere.

movement really gathered momentum after the very successful first international Earth Summit in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, where more than one hundred heads of the people to participate and to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) to sign. The goal was the density of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, the growth of global warming and related climate change caused fixed. Sustainable development has since become a topic of discussion in the world. buzzword nowadays is the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, the signatories agreed to in pollution Accounting (EDA), whose job is to act to adopt. As of November 2007, 175 countries, including Brazil, China and India have ratified the Kyoto Protocol means that the EDA has become an integral part of the environmental policy of most governments of the world.

ACCOUNTABILITY:

At the moment the statement of corporate environmental responsibility (CER), such as corporate social responsibility (CSR) has acquired ethical undercurrent opinions johtajia.suurempaa industrial exploitation of natural resources for raw thing, but unfortunately also brings the curse of pollution, whether developed or developing country. It is the responsibility of business, “the users and the” polluter “of the environment and pollute the air, water and soil unsightly landscape, disturbance of the conditions and bases in water in the process. Apparently, they must be responsible for sins of the Commission and omission.

damage to the environment seriously affect people’s lives this way air pollution lead to serious health problems that the work efficiency of people, the cost of medical care and result increases the loss of Water pollution and income -. affect surface and ground water – due to the discharge of raw sewage can cause health problems .. river and sea pollution caused by oil leakage may affect the fish harvesting and production of other seas. Deforestation and stone extraction lead to soil erosion and the destruction of the ecological balance. Degradation issues like global warming, the destruction of rain forests, acid rain, floods and cyclones, irrevocable depletion of natural resources and all types of pollution caused by the need to be seen in relation to their social and economic costs. obligation is also to strengthen the moral responsibility of controlling and reducing environmental damage.

METHODS environmental accounting

Its function is to monitor monitor the activities that affect the environment, constantly gathering relevant data and information about the company on environment-related assets and liabilities.

difficulties to allocate the monetary value of the loss of welfare associated with air, water, soil or sunlight. specializes in the valuation methods developed for this purpose, even though they have their own limitations. most of the cost-benefit analysis of shadow pricing method to be followed where the values ??for items that do not. no market shadow technique is certainly adopted to monetary policy, the names for items of environmental pollution to enhance

Environmental records are produced in three stages: .. (i) understanding the business environment, (ii) information about the effects of industrial activities on the environment, and (iii) the environmental costs and expenses in the financial statements

Environmental Reporting

One of the main tools of environmental management system is company report contains and displays all activities affecting the environment. The report is intended to publish and distribute the company for all stakeholders to communicate and provide them with information about the pollution impact on the operations of the company and various measures to mitigate adverse effects. The report will also outline the company’s policy on the environment and the specific areas where it has failed to compensate. It is to provide information on compliance with the law of the State shall use clean technologies, trademark and discharge of wastewater, waste, ventilation, light and air protection, noise – in short, all measures relating to safety and health of workers and the welfare of the community

Report must quantitative data on the total expenditure by the point WAY PROTECTION or improving the environment both within the site and its surroundings. as well as assessing the costs and benefits of the environment budget. fine, the company should indicate in its report both positive and negative impacts of their activities on the environment

framework

India increased public outrage and legal action, attitude towards compliance with environmental, health and safety company is a positive change in recent times. the provisions laid down in legislation, such as the factories Act (1948), Water (prevention and Control of Pollution) Act (1974), Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act (1981) and the Environment (Protection) Act (1986), hazardous waste (management and handling) Regulations (1989/2000), manufacturing, storage and import of dangerous chemicals in the Rules of Procedure (1989), liability insurance (1991) , Bio-medical waste (management and handling) Rules (1998), noise (regulation and control) Rules (2000) Ozone-Depleting Substances (Regulation and Control) Regulations (2000), chemical accidents (Emergency Planning, Preparedness and Response) Regulations (1996), and other rules relating to explosives, petroleum, electricity, hot water boilers, diesel emissions, etc. are all from time to time in accordance with international standards.

Board of Directors has determined the tasks and responsibilities of businesses, reduction of pollutants, interior design information for the agencies allow the entry of officials and sampling inspection, the provision of awards and to obtain advance clearance for new projects or modernization and expansion projects. The government also contributes to the design and installation is also used as an anticipatory compliance-related instruments such as voluntary agreements and charters, corporate environmental responsibility

In 1994 the Government of India had issued a notification, requiring the industry to environmental impact assessment (EIA). It’s also got a list of 29 categories of polluting industries that need special attention. to illustrate here is intended to alleviate the environmental impact of the two industries, ie. steel and cement, which are included in the category of pollutants.

INDIAN STEEL

The steel industry today is nice to private and public entities, a larger amount of sales, improved occupancy and revenue growth and profit margins received. The global market conditions are conducive to large increase in steel consumption in sectors such as construction, real estate, infrastructure and transport.

National Steel Price policy announced in India, 3 November 2005, aims to modernize the steel industry, global standards, improve efficiency and productivity in all areas, including environmental management. It should be noted that the official rules for the period since 1991, the private sector significantly faster than increased public sector capacity building and today accounts for 59 percent of the total production of crude steel and 71 percent of the finished steel production. At present, India is the largest producer of sponge iron in the world thanks to the rapid expansion of small coal-based units.

Since the industrial area of ??concern is often raised little research and development of our steel industry due to a non-essential technologies such natural resources endowment and that damage to the environment would minimize the priority areas where R & D efforts are a waste-water monitoring in coke ovens and focused technology development, very little carbon, recycling and recovery, reduce power consumption, and so did National Workgroup of the steel industry environment, which includes the Government of India in 1989, took some critical areas of R & D to optimize resource use, to the generation of pollution and energy consumption to a minimum. The idea was to make the whole process of steel making to be more environmentally friendly.

steel industry is mainly energy. Indian plants use energy from 6.45 to 8.5 Giga. CALs against the raw steel, while global consumption norm 4 , 5 to 5 Giga cal. We must therefore develop energy saving and conservation technologies and put them into use quickly. Reuse of internally generated from the combustion gases or the recovery of waste gas can help reduce energy consumption.

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are a major concern in the industry, the third largest contributor of greenhouse gases in India. Our steel plant emissions on average 2.7 tonnes of carbon dioxide a crude steel in Japan and Germany, the factory an average of less than 1.5 to 1 , 8 tons. sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions are considerably higher in India and the sulfur in the fuel gas and efficient combustion system to reduce.

steel is an imaginative use of resources and waste reduction are. Generation Accounts slag from blast furnace and steel melting operations is further reduced. Ways and means must be found to the recycled waste such as sludge and dust from the import technologies from other countries. By the end of the eleventh five year plan estimated dust emissions steel in total production is feared to more than 500 tonne increase per day. This is overthrown by installing an effective fabric filters.

Report team statistics on steel for the eleventh five-year assessment plan states that the recycled steel is environmentally friendly and because the sample is 100% recyclable and its characteristics by successive product cycles without loss of quality, are maintaining an unlimited number of times. Recycling can also help reduce the pollution involved in iron ore mining to avoid recycling. Of course, recycling is highly dependent on the availability of the use of steel.

Progressive manufacturers of steel in India is now trying to get their environmental performance, followed by yet available in improving the Integrated Management Systems such as quality (ISO 9001), environment (ISO 14001), health and safety (OHSAS 1800) and Social Accounting (SA 8000). The government has in recent years introduced a number of laws regarding the handling of hazardous waste emissions and Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Protection Act (CREP)

According to Task Force report, technology initiatives, Indian steel industry: Environmental Accounting, Carbon Accounting, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), Eco-restoration of degraded land by the gradual ozone depleting substances (ODS), the clean technology development Greenery development etc.

costs installation of measures for pollution, energy conservation, safety and health inspection is generally high, and they have to pay interest in the industry, the social good. the right strategy has been developed for controlling various physical hazards in the form noise, vibration, heat, dust, stress and radiation, chemical burns inhaled gases, vapors, gases, asbestos, etc. electrical safety, mechanical or pneumatic energy and an accident caused by cranes, hoists, the weights, etc., help and expert advice and in harmony with the laws and regulations of central government administration.

Indian Cement Industry

Indian cement industry comprises 125 large and 300 small installations a capacity of 165 million tons, the second largest market, next to China. Even if the dominant has led to consolidation services industry is still relatively. fragmented industry was released from the price and distribution regulations in 1989 and subsequently approved in 1991

Cement Production takes place in five phases. (i) mining, (ii) preparation of the crude mixture of limestone silo, (iii) the furnace processing (iv) grinding and clinker silo flash ash and slag as supplementary material, and (v) packaging and transportation of cement to the end user or consumer.

energy nature of the cement industry and let the heat and large amounts of carbon dioxide is a serious global warming impacts. The manufacturing process releases nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2), particulate matter, such as PM10, mercury, cadmium and carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. environmental degradation caused by these contaminants have a significant impact on air quality, soil quality, habitats, biodiversity and human health. transportation of cement in bulk or bag packages – the latter a normal delivery in developing countries – even lead without the cost of pollution in the form of dust addition, noise and vibrations caused while operating heavy machinery and explosives in quarries, in fact all of the production of cement .. – raw materials acquisition, site preparation and distribution of the end user – the ability to put pressure on the environment.

It is time for India to learn from the events in China, where the study of air quality in highly industrialized countries of the Pearl River Delta region in southern China showed that the cement plants have caused choking pollution blankets the entire region. building materials like cement are strongly influenced by the ratio of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone and soot in the air. Similar exposure to hazardous substances, our country can cause untold damage to health by a permanent, not only our factory workers, but also the community surrounding areas.

environmental damage in the cement industry can be overcome by the use of new equipment for dust reduction in quarrying and manufacturing, modern technology trap and separate exhaust closed quarries nature or re-growing them. concentrations of CO2 and SO2 can be periodically measured by tests for emissions and monitoring by government regulations.

CO2 emissions, the main culprit of global warming, need special attention .. They belong to three group (i) they are derived from the -carbonization of limestone, (ii) the kiln fuels, and (iii) produced by vehicles, plant and beyond, as part of the distribution. The typical value of global CO2 category (i) 0.50 kg of CO2 per kg of cement, the class (ii) it is 0.24 kg CO2 per kg of cement in the event of an efficient plant, and the class (iii) it is insignificant in 0002-0005. All three will be around 0.80 kg CO2 per kg finished cement. The typical energy consumption for cement production is approximately 90-150 kWh / tonne of cement. The use of hydro or nuclear energy and the introduction of efficient production, can reduce power to be at a sufficiently low level.

The available data for the years 1991, 1992 and 1993, CO2 emissions in India versus Best Practice some insight into the relative. Position As can be seen, the CO2 emissions of at least 1991 to 1993 higher than the Best Practice

Carbon dioxide emissions from cement production:. India vs Best Practice

tonnes of CO2 per tonne of cement

1991 1992 1993

India 0.86 0.91 0.89

Best Practice 0.63 0.63 0.63

Fortunately, the Indian cement industry today seized a problem. As the wet process consumes too much energy, 96.3 percent of the cement kilns have now switched to using energy-efficient dry process for clinker production and the wet process is becoming gradually. the transition to low carbon fuels, the use of alternative fuels from waste such as lignite, pet coke, tires, rice husks, will be peanut shells replace coal in cement kilns are a number of issues of risk management measures, now being adopted by industry today.

Indian cement industry is an active policy to improve productivity and energy efficiency. The technology is improving every aspect of plants, such as quarrying, manufacturing, equipment and machinery. packing and shipping Detailed diagnostic investigations of production processes and energy audits carried out by the central and state pollution control boards have standards for CO2 emissions that are at various stages of production and industrial cooperation pure. . selfishness

by summing UP

There are two ways in which pollution can be dealt with: either the companies or the government must try to prevent before it happens, or to translate it after it has occurred, this is what is meant by prevention and recovery, however, the management decisions .. circumvention measures and restoration of the need for reliable information on the company’s environmental pollution accounts. heart of the matter is,, faithfully carry out assessment of the environmental impact of the company and its proper control perspective, pragmatically appropriate laws and regulations of government business.

Mandatory corporate environmental statements alone are not reflected in the losses, expenses and liabilities of the company and will promote investments in order to save the situation. It is time for governments, regulators and accounting organizations together to develop foolproof system is quite aware of environmental accounts are based on well-formulated guidelines for measuring, costing and evaluation ..

The first thing to do in establishing guidelines to clarify how the environment can be identified and then measured and reported for investigation. The second is to explain how the hidden environmental sharing. It is also imperative that a comprehensive overview of the costs related products such as liquid waste, waste gas, solid waste, recycling, safety , preventive equipment, staff training, environmental awareness, has R & D costs of innovation in environmentally friendly processes and products are completed. In a parallel phase of the environmental benefits of the new processes or products, and other tax benefits, etc. should also be quantified to the accounts used.

Fine, corporate environmental statements to fill the quality of openness, inclusiveness, objectivity, accuracy and ability to control them a decisive and meaningful

Energy efficiency tips for students

Posted in Energy Efficiency  by

I’m talking about a graduate student who lived their since March, I will try by all means energy efficiency in order to save our planet and help my wallet! On this day, it seems the energy is a fad or a trend, but it should be seen as a way of life that is here to stay. There are many resources for people to be trained and aware of the problems going on and looks for ways to correct them. It is our practice to environmental and energy efficiency to save money when we protect it.

when choosing a place to live in college if they wish to have a place mostly on campus or on campus. Allows you to walk or bicycle instead of driving class at school. My university is a residential school and the fact that they are the stimulus, where students are grouped based on where they live and better parking if they choose to carpool “green ride.” Although not preferred, more and more students are turning into. Even with my cohort of students can be found on the bulletin board, if anyone wants to carpool. This is something that has not fully developed, but it is coming.

community where I live, I know that we can free an air filter once a month. When replacing the filter every month does not lead to additional waste, the air conditioner is able to work more efficiently without the filter. Ideally, the purchase of the air filter should be replaced once a month is the best solution, but the houses or apartment complexes that are not free air filters, air conditioner works more efficiently if the filter is replaced.

Since my days as a graduate student to go to class and then studying and reading, I tend to go home for a few days, lunch or just to work in my apartment instead of campus. I learned to open the blinds and let the sun shine in. never going to be outside in the sun and light in my apartment, unless a storm or when it is dark. The lights just go out when the sun goes down. Reading and writing can be done near a window or even outside it is impossible to you. In this way, I end up saving half of what I would probably use the electricity.

If you live in a dormitory roommate and a separate TV and / or refrigerators, and try to combine into a single refrigerator. Label each of the items so that they do not mix and place in a common space for both of you to get. The same goes for the TV. From what I remember from high school, I hardly watch television, and was certainly good enough for me, so no TV in all rooms. Again, depending on the use of TV and place it in a common area so that both you and your companion can enjoy, and all guests may be over.

One of the things a bit annoying going out to college and live in the apartment is that you usually only for a few semesters in the year. Some students choose to stay during the summer back home. Fortunately, Texas has a plan for providing electricity, Bounce and energy, known as Nifty 9, giving the customer a fixed interest rate of 9 months to lock. This is ideal for those who also lives in the apartment while away at school 9 months of the year. If Nifty September, Bounce Energy also that you also plan to reward its customers. When you pay bills on time you get benefits such as bill credits, movie tickets, companion tickets, and free electricity bill!

Whether through the bounce of energy or any other company, the plans and contracts offered to see what is most effective for you and your situation to investigate. This study is certainly the homework that will benefit from the future!

Green Living Ideas? Save the Earth, save lives

Posted in Green Living  by

Green Living makes us a healthier life. It saves money and the environment. It is important to live Green Earth global warming save. It is our responsibility to save the planet and it is in our hands to save the earth. But we do not know what are the ideas that follow to live green. Some ideas follow live green.

main ideas for living green to reduce dust, we reject our home. Now that so many companies have also done much to reduce the packages. This is a great track live green. Another idea we need to re-use of sustainable container and products to follow. It’s a good way to use those products. If we do not these products, if necessary, at least we have given to others who need it. Recycle is also one of the best ideas for green living.

Other great ideas for living green

First, a love for the planet is one of the key ideas for living green. Using organic products and cosmetics are also a good idea to live green. Use hormone-free dairy products and try to get these products in glass bottles now. Since these are reusable.

2.Try growing crops or trees, which provide more oxygen. Avoid using plastic covers, because they are not reusable. And the last 1000 years to solve the country.

3 There are some simple ways to live green. Easy Green Living is a living green without much effort. Here are some simple ways and ideas for green living. Little difference to live green.

4 Water Protection is an easy way to live green. It is an important source, because we can not live with out it. Protection of water also saves money. But we tend to waste so much water in so many ways. Try using water level will make life more green reduction. Simple ways to save water is used in a small outflow of showerheads use less water when washing clothes or dishes, to see that there are no leaks in faucets and sprinklers to try to use for March. Here are some ways to save water.

5 Other green lifestyle eat local food. Farmers market for the best local cuisine. It provides not only energy but also saves money. Food that is a farmer in the market is farmed by hand, no fuel. And try to grow vegetables and leafy vegetables in the house. Since farmers can use pesticides, but we never use this in our house. We use water to crops, which is one of the growing green materials.

6 always another way to live green recycling. Recycling is derived from a number of years. Now there are so many recycling centers for our goods to drop. We should not be used for goods so that we can, at least to those who need it.

It is our duty to live green and make the world green.
