China's vision: If the West helps pay the tab, China could leapfrog ahead in pollution-reducing technology that would curb emissions down the road.
Instead of immigration curbs, he advocated combating the threats with economic development, education, conservation and pollution-reducing technology.
This is especially problematic when the value of a product is bound to its widespread use, as with pollution-reducing technologies.
In addition to reducing pollution, the technology can improve the efficiency of a power plant or a refinery in several ways.
In each case, Benson explained, thinking in this way means that researchers "consider interactions and tradeoffs between different parts of the energy system" as well as "co-benefits of various technologies," such as renewable energy technologies reducing pollution levels, or the development of hydrogen-powered cars paving the way for other lucrative uses of the same technology.
Both companies and the government continue to place billion-dollar bets on electricity as the best available technology to curb pollution and reduce dependence on foreign oil.
Installing widely available pollution control technologies can reduce more than 90percentt of the mercury pollution that is harming both children's health and our environment.
Chemical and allied industries have shown interest in reducing pollution by implementing cleaner technologies or processes that use, or generate, lower amounts of or less harmful pollutants.
This paper started with the premise that supply chain uncertainty might explain the propensity of organizations to adopt pollution control instead of value creating technologies that reduce pollution at the source (i.e., pollution prevention).
