Reducing industrial emissions
Description
Reducing industrial emissions involves implementing technologies and practices to limit the release of pollutants from manufacturing and energy production. Essential actions include upgrading equipment, adopting cleaner fuels, improving process efficiency, and enforcing emission standards. This strategy directly addresses air, water, and soil pollution, mitigating health risks and environmental damage. By targeting the sources of industrial pollution, it aims to achieve compliance with regulations, reduce greenhouse gases, and promote sustainable industrial development.
Implementation
In the 1970s, identifiable expenditures on reducing pollution in industrial countries typically amounted to 2.0 to 2.5% of investment costs. As standards have tightened, these expenditures have risen to 5% in Germany and Japan and 4% in the USA.
