Overview of U.S. EPA Sustainability Programs
This overview of U.S EPA Sustainability programs will provide an update on pollution prevention related research activities in the areas of sustainability, biomimicry, green chemistry, and Environmental Technology Verification (ETV). Biomimicry is being used to develop a set of sustainability indicators for the emerging biofuels industry. The ETV program area to be covered in this session verifies the performance of real-time monitoring systems for air emissions, storage tanks, and clean-up, to alert personnel to leaks earlier and process raw material monitors to use raw materials more efficiently.
