Urban agriculture can help cities to become more self-sufficient in food production, and we're demonstrating that it can work on a commercially viable scale and put a real dent into feeding urban populations.
Amazon and others are currently developing the technology to make drone deliveries possible on a commercially viable scale, but rules and regulations currently governing their operation have held development back.
Furthermore, we discuss the limitations and challenges that remain to be solved before these highly promising nanocomposites become available on a commercially viable scale.
Existing users of areas beyond national jurisdiction, with the exception of fisheries, currently have a limited footprint there as a consequence, in part, of substantial hurdles in technological development that need to be overcome before many resources can be extracted at a commercially viable scale.
Cyanobacteria are known to produce various fine chemicals and there are considerable interests in the production of these chemicals from cyanobacteria on a commercially viable scale.
Furthermore, the initial apparent success of many small farms that were in fact not of an economically viable scale has resulted in a stagnant industry that is not attractive to new investment.
Montreal survived by reinventing itself on a smaller, more viable scale.
For a fringe market with only a few hundred players — even if they are big ones — that sort of cost is disproportionate and a barrier to achieving viable scale, he said.
Minimum viable market share: Two attributes determine the minimum viable scale of a network: product/service complexity and fixed-cost requirements.
The topping cycle can be a viable large scale application of thermoelectric generators since peak ZT of the material can be optimized in a narrow temperature range without cascading.
