Technical solutions to the environmental problems

 Each nook and corner is suffering from environmental issues. We, all know, how much humans have degraded the situation and now conditions are worsening extensively. But enough of discussing the problems and making the alarming situation more remorseful. We will be focussing on the ways that offers sustainability to the environment and ways that emphasis on the solution orientations:-

Naphtha To Ethane/Propane (NEP) :- A Bankable Investment for Sustainable Petrochemicals. Honeywell UOP's Naphtha to Ethane/Propane (NEP) process efficiently converts light naphtha and butanes into ethane and propane, providing a flexible, cost-effective, and sustainable solution for ethylene and propylene production. NEP optimizes yields, reduces CO2 emissions, and addresses challenges in the dynamic olefins industry. With an inventive new Naphtha to Ethane and Propane process (NEP), Honeywell UOP has transformed ethylene production to help producers meet challenging market conditions and outperform competitors. 

Carbon Capture And Storage :-

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an emerging technology that separates the carbon dioxide – a gas with a presence in Earth’s atmosphere that is warming our planet – from other gases that industrial processes generate.It does so via post-combustion capture, pre-combustion capture and oxyfuel combustion methods. CCS transports carbon by pipelines and stores it in rock formations underground where it does not inflict any damage on the environment.The first carbon capture facility in the world was opened in Switzerland in 2017. 

Solar Glass :- 

Solar glass is another emerging technology that may greatly improve global energy sustainability. It is a material used for making windows and other glass surfaces that capture the energy of the Sun and convert it into electricity. A scientific team at the University of Michigan developed a solar glass that generates an efficiency of 15% or more, while also letting 50% of light pass through the window. This solves one of the biggest solar glass hurdles — maintaining window transparency without sacrificing the efficiency of converting light into electricity.According to the team’s estimate, there is currently enough usable window space to supply 40% of US energy needs with solar glass. 

Smart Grids

The grid — the current power production infrastructure — is mainly centralized and very responsive to usage fluctuations. It requires a massive production of energy to work dependably, which often causes overproduction and energy waste. The grid also relies heavily on energy sources that emit pollution.Smart grids :- That deploy multiple energy distribution, automation, networking and sensor technologies are currently being tested around the developed world. They will enable a very localized energy production — even down to individual households — that can be sent back to the grid.Thanks to sensor technology and highly precise prediction algorithms, the production of energy can be fine-tuned to evade overproduction and waste. Improved battery technology will lead to efficient storage of energy from renewable sources.A study by Electric Power Research suggests that smart grid technology may reduce carbon emissions by 58% in 2030, compared to 2020 levels.

Digitalization and automation pave the way for sustainable industrial innovation :-

Whether you are responsible for product design, manufacturing, or driving sustainability across your value chain, intelligently linking and analyzing data across your industrial operations helps you make smarter environmental decisions. Digitalization and automation are key levers to enable a seamless flow of information from both the real and digital worlds, delivering the necessary insights to benchmark how sustainable you are today and to achieve greater sustainability tomorrow.

Implement Green Architecture :- When we talk about sustainable development and cities, green architecture is a key component. Green architects are discovering innovative ways to reduce resource use and lower greenhouse gas emissions — from using natural building materials and solar panels, to improving ventilation and insulation, planting more shade trees and installing smart HVAC systems. Green buildings can meet certain requirements to get LEED-certified, which is increasingly desirable for tenants.

 Benefits include:Energy savings, Reduced greenhouse emissions, Improved air quality, Better health. Paris, France is a leader in green building tech, implementing practices such as using high-density materials that capture and release solar heat to aid in heating and cooling.

Final Words:-

Eventually, every problem has a solution, important task is to learn and relearn the specific things. Science and technology are providing the solutions that can be fruitful in restoration ofGreen technology is the key to a sustainable future. To adopt greener practices and build healthier cities, we need smart connectivity, technology-driven efficiency, and data insights to make smarter, greener decisions. Earth 🌎 and making the same more sustainable.
