The aim of the study was to summarize the current status for carbon capture, transport and storage for CO2 emissions from power stations. Special attention was given to the implications from the introduction of carbon capture and storage in power stations on the efficiency, emissions and costs for electricity generation.

The ability of microorganisms to transform environmental contaminants to final products harmless to man and environment has been a subject of laboratory investigations since the 60ies. Since the early 80-ies biotechnological remediation techniques for treating soil, groundwater and air have been developed and applied on this basis.

The current aims to identify the most important factors in the generation of traffic.

This report is the result of a study conducted by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), commissioned and financed by the Federal Environmental Agency, Germany (Umweltbundesamt, UBA), and carried out between March 1st, 2003 and June 30th, 2005.

Based on the present status and the established prognosis including various inaccuracies, this study comprises the development of a calculation tool for biodegradable waste management, enabling MOEW to simulate specific scenarios, taking into account the experiences of implemented pilot measures and further research studies.

The measurement of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions has become mandatory during the type approval procedure for M1 vehicles (cars) in the EU with the introduction of directive 93/116/EC.

Beschreibung

Flame retardants (FR) are being used in various products, e.g. electrical components, synthetics, textiles and furniture foams, in order to reduce their flammability. Polybrominated diphenylethers belong to the most important halogenated FRs: they are – due to the production process – bromohomologous mixes of different isomers and congeneres (ΣBr = 1 to 10).
