Recognizing that towns and cities may have
different environmental priorities, industry has worked as a partner on a range of initiatives, including:
All three give editorial
priority to
environmental issues, all three have invested heavily in
different language sites or country - specific sites, and all three are «digital natives» with a strong interest in which format works on which platforms.
Environmental issues are a
priority concern for 22 % of members so the glass used for the bottles for 26
different Co-operative wines will be reduced, saving a total of 450 tons of glass per year by using lightweight bottles.
The research needs that have high
priority in establishing the technical,
environmental, and economic feasibility of large - scale capture and disposal of CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- from electric power plants are: (1) survey and assess the capacity, cost, and location of potential depleted gas and oil wells that are suitable CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- repositories (with the cooperation of the oil and gas industry); (2) conduct research on the feasibility of ocean disposal, with objectives of determining the cost, residence time, and
environmental effects for
different methods of CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- injection; (3) perform an in - depth survey of knowledge concerning the feasibility of using deep, confined aquifers for disposal and, if feasible, identify potential disposal locations (with the cooperation of the oil and gas industry); (4) evaluate, on a common basis, more» system and design alternatives for integration of CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- capture systems with emerging and advanced technologies for power generation; and prepare a conceptual design, an analysis of barrier issues, and a preliminary cost estimate for pipeline networks necessary to transport a significant portion of the CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- to potentially feasible disposal locations.
