Water Recycling and Resource Recovery in Industry : analysis, technologies and implementation

Greening the grid : the ecological modernisation of network-bound systems

 Environmental innovation in network-bound systems influences the traditional relations between providers of these services and consumers. By applying ecological modernisation theory to environmental innovation in Dutch water and electricity systems, it is argued that projects which aim at 'environmental monitoring' and 'environmental differentiati...

SIHTI 2. Energy and environmental technology. Yearbook 1998. Project presentations

Great revolutions have taken place in the intersection of energy and environment in recent years. The energy market has been liberated, and in part of sustainable development, an ecological pattern of thought has gained a footing in traditional market economy, typical examples being green electricity and recycling. As regards environmental problems...

Life cycle assessment of peat utilisation in Finland

Environmental issues related to the production of peat and its use in energy generation have been the subject of public debate and research over the past few years in Finland. Peat is both an indigenous and a locally utilised fuel. Finland has no fossil fuel resources, and the transportation distances of imported fuels into Finland are normally lon...

SIHTI 2. Energy and environmental technology. Yearbook 1995 of the research programme. Project presentations

Detrimental impacts of various energy production forms, their prevention and costs to enterprises and to the society are studied in the National Re-search Programme on Energy and Environmental Technology - SIHTI 2. For this evaluation work, databases on Finland s energy production, fuels and boilers and emissions of various production forms are nee...

SIHTI 2. Energy and environmental technology. Yearbook 1996. Project presentations

Low-emission energy production and related technologies are key factors with regard to sustainable development and preservation of ecosystems. Expertise developed in Finland is highly appreciated and Finland is presently of top class in the world in a number of technical applications. This gives us an exceptionally good position in promoting and us...

Transmission and distribution of the final energy. LCA database on energy production in Finland - SEEP. Part VI

This report is a part of the documentation of the Finnish project LCA database on energy production in Finland (SEEP). The report is based on a Diploma Thesis which was done during the project (Vähävihu 1995). This report contains environmental life cycle data of electric power, heat and natural gas transmission and distribution networks in Finland...

Quality assurance of emission measurements. Factors influencing the determination of emissions

The aim of the project was to study the means to minimise uncertainties of the emission measurement results in calculation the annual emissions and in comparing the emission data to emission limit values of a plant. The report is based on uncertainty calculations by VTT Chemical Technology, results obtained from national comparison measurements and...

Reformulation of engine gasoline to reduce emissions in Finnish conditions. Effect of reformulated gasoline on regulated...

The research work focused on the comparison of extremely reformulated Cali-fornian gasoline (CARB), current Finnish reformulated gasoline (RFG) and reformulated MTBE- and TAME-containing gasoline (RFG2) with Eurograde gasoline (EN228). The tests were carried out according to the FTP driving cycle at +22 and -7 oC. The fleet of test vehicles compris...
