Climate change, the new industrial policies and the ways out of the crisis
At its meeting in Stockholm on 20 - 21 Ocotber 2009, the Executive Committee of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) adopted a Resolution on Climate change, new industrial policies and the ways out of the crisis.
Weeks before the negotiations in Copenhagen on an international framework on the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, we find ourselves confronted by three mutually-impacting crises: the ecological crisis as a result of climate change and the loss of biodiversity, the global ... |

Consider offsets in your GHG emission reduction strategy
With federal legislation on the way that will require many facilities to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions significantly, companies are beginning to strategize how to meet future requirements or internal goals as economically as possible without disrupting operations. One part of a successful strategy is the use of offsets. While it is a less direct way of reducing GHG emissions, you can take advantage of the current relatively low cost of “carbon offsets” to cost effectively reduce your carbon ... |

Applied Plasma Physics AS
Applied Plasma Physics AS (APP) provides a compact solution for cleaning both ODOUR and harmful PARTICULATE MATTER from industrial emissions. The APP corona discharge chambers create an intensive COLD PLASMA ZONE (reaction zone) where direct ionization and non-thermal oxidization of the emission takes place. The same slow natural processes that clean the air in our atmosphere are accelerated within the reaction zone to occur within less than a second. The system is well proven and has been installed in many different industrial applications all around the world. |
