Cleaner Production and energy Conservation for Sustainable Development

ABOUT THE BOOK: Cleaner production is a continuous application of an integrated environmental strategy to processes, products and services for increasing the efficiency and reducing the risks to humans and environment. It aims at minimizing the wastes and emissions and maximizing the product output by analyzing the flow of materials and energy inside a system. The polluting companies generally concentrate on treating the waste generated by an industrial process in an attempt to reduce its impact on the environment, but often no attempt is made by them to reduce the overall level of waste at source. With cleaner production techniques, industrial processes can be improved by eliminating or reducing pollutants at the source during the course of the production processes itself.
Additionally, the increasing energy demand is presently met by burning of coal and petroleum products. This dramatically leads to the second major problem of gaseous pollution, which needs to be curbed mainly by energy conservation and replacement of non-renewable resources with renewable sources. In fact, energy conservation and cleaner production must go hand in hand with a single combo-solution. The former is an important element of energy planning and policy as it leads to reduction in energy consumption and energy demand per capita. It facilitates the replacement of nonrenewable resources with renewable energy. It is often the most economical solution to energy shortages, and is a more environmentally benign alternative to increased energy production.
The present volume is a compilation of the reports presented during an international workshop on Cleaner Production & Energy Conservation organized by the NAM S&T Centre at Cochin, India during 24-26 June 2008 and also contains some invited papers. The information presented herein would hopefully serve as a valuable material for the concerned scientists and professionals and would provide guidelines for policy makers, management and technical personnel on developing and implementing cleaner production solutions.
The Centre for Science and Technology of Non-Aligned and Other Developing Countries (NAM S&T Centre) is an inter-governmental organisation with a membership of 44 countries spread over Asia, Africa, Middle East and Latin America. Besides this, 12 S&T agencies and academic and research institutions of Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, India, Nigeria and Turkey are the members of the S&T-industry Network of the Centre. The Centre was set up in 1989 to promote South-South cooperation through mutually beneficial partnerships among scientists and technologists and S&T organizations in developing countries. The Centre implements a variety of programmes including international workshops, meetings, roundtables, training courses and collaborative projects and brings out scientific publications, including a quarterly Newsletter. It is also implementing 3 Fellowship schemes, namely, NAM S&T Centre Research Fellowship, Joint NAM S&T Centre - ICCBS Karachi Fellowship and Joint NAM S&T Centre - ZMT Bremen Fellowship. These activities provide opportunity for scientist-to-scientist contact and interaction; familiarizing the participants on the latest developments and techniques in the subject areas, identification of training requirements and expert assistance, identification of technologies for transfer between member countries etc. The Centre has so far published 42 publications and has organized 72 international workshops and training programmes.
