This new capital will allow the company to expand its core team, accelerate the launch of the precious metal scavenger product range in numerous international markets, and continue the development of further industrial applications based on the company’s proprietary chemistry to make functionalised silicas.
An improved method for sustainable pest control using "super-sexed" but sterile male insects to copulate with female ones is being developed by agricultural researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The scientists thus hope to offer yet another efficient and promising avenue for supplying produce to the market by eliminating pests without damage to the environment.
Chemicals that helped solve a global environmental crisis in the 1990s — the hole in Earth’s protective ozone layer — may be making another problem — acid rain — worse, scientists are reporting.
As engineers and energy companies develop plans for alternative energy production that will allow humans to continue to pursue otherwise unsustainable consumption patterns, Steve Luoni attacks the problem of limited resources from a radically different angle.
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall the European Commission has supported the internationalisation of higher education and the improvement of teaching in its neighbour states, through cooperation projects with the so called Tempus programme.

Using cesium and potassium formates in completion fluids that stabilize boreholes in gas production is more eco-efficient than the application of brines based on zinc bromide, calcium bromide and calcium chloride. This is the result of an eco-efficiency analysis performed by BASF. Formates are salts of formic acid, a BASF intermediate.
Posty Cards, Inc., a manufacturer of personalized business greeting cards, has broken ground on a $6.4 million expansion/remodel that is being built to LEED v3 Gold green building standards. When the project is completed in July 2010, the new facility will feature a large solar photovoltaic array, solar heated water, high efficiency HVAC, natural lighting and automatic artificial lighting control systems, rain water reclamation for irrigation and waste management, and water efficient native plant landscaping.
Research and Markets has added Frost & Sullivan's new report titled "Market Study on the Indian Air Pollution Control Equipment" to its catalogue.
Many human activities such as driving automobiles and heating homes typically add climate-changing carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Using wood for home construction, instead of more energy intensive building products, can actually help offset CO2 contributions.
Arkema currently allocate directly over 50% of our R&D expenditure to innovation in every area which contributes to the development of eco-technologies, states Thierry Le Hénaff, Arkema Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
