Currently high rates of economic growth will be possible only in case of gradual replacement of resource development vector on innovative one the priorities of which should be new prospective products and technologies.
The depletion in fossil feedstocks, increasing oil prices, and the ecological problems associated with CO2 emissions are forcing the development of alternative resources for energy, transport fuels, and chemicals: the replacement of fossil resources with CO2 neutral biomass.
For the replacement of generation resources, futures transactions will also bring additional income [39].
An important research topic for sustainable development is the replacement of natural resources with renewable materials.
In the petrochemical industry, process efficiency is also still a driver, but replacement of fossil resources by more sustainable raw materials derived from biomass is becoming an important second driving force.
One of the challenging topics and design constraints in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is the reduction of energy consumption because, in most application scenarios, replacement of power resources in sensor devices might be unfeasible.
Hence, these concepts complement the RBV by adding ecological aspects as resources, i.e., the reintegration of obsolete resources/former technologies of other companies as replacement of missing (own) resources without additional costs.
As one main component of lignocellulosic biomass, hemicellulose is a promising alternative for the replacement of limited fossil resources to produce furfural, thus preserving a high atom efficiency.
In 2002-03, AFI will devote much of its time and resources to: upgrading of Oracle applications; new releases and their further development; support of systems to sustain the decentralization of project operations to FAO Representations; replacement of legacy human resources and payroll systems; and provision of the required computer infrastructure.
Once deployed, the sensor nodes are usually inaccessible to the user, and thus replacement of the energy resource is not feasible.
