In his executive order, Mr. Paterson said hydraulic fracturing combined with horizontal drilling required a comprehensive review of possible environmental impacts before its "deployment" in the state.
The overall conversion efficiency improvements and economic benefits, together with the environmental impact of this deployment, will then be estimated.
LCA should aim to describe the system-wide environmental implications of CCS deployment at scale, rather than a narrow analysis of technological performance of individual power plants.
This study suggests that environmental features of the deployment sites should be carefully considered in planning and designing artificial reefs, especially in eutrophic and turbid coastal waters, exposed to high river loads.
Key policy recommendations: develop criteria for the most suitable agricultural lands for renewable energy deployment, expedite environmental review and endangered species permitting for projects on these lands, and coordinate state and local land use planning and transmission investments to encourage development on these sites.
Many such problems, including environmental monitoring, involve large deployment scenarios with lower-than-average node density, as well as a long time scale and limited budgets.
In addition to the qualification in environmental testing facilities, the deployment of laser systems in realistic scenarios and relevant environments, offered by sounding rockets or zero-g parabolic flights, allows for rapid iterative tests and further development of related technologies.
The aperture diameter of the prism-type SERR is practically limited by the uniformity and thermal property of the prism material as described below; however, the hollow-type SERR is free from such a limitation if the problems relating to deployment and/or environmental problems are solved.
We captured albatrosses at their nest sites and deployed a still-camera system on the back feathers of four birds with Tesa© tape; deployments recorded environmental information over a single foraging trip during the chick-guarding period.
