If you stick around the world of sustainable business long enough, you’re sure to see an immutable march of memes — terms that rise up and become popularized, often without agreed-upon definitions. Then, over time, they become used, and overused, to the point where they lose much of their meaning.
The collaboration between two universities will definitely bring profound impacts on both societies,” said Professor Shu-Kun Hsu. These fields of study match very well with Heriot-Watts GeoEnergy initiatives.
In order to facilitate their development a clear and workable definition of energy communities and an enabling framework with the transposition of European rules in national legislations are needed.
UNESDA Soft Drinks Europe wants to create a packaging that is the definition itself of circular economy. The association is building a new program around three pillars: collection, recycling and reducing-reusing.
The definition of fleet is evolving. Progressive cities, many in Europe, are building zones in downtown centers that are banning fossil-fuel vehicles and incentivizing zero-emission models. Netherlands-based LeasePlan is a large fleet management company that mostly operates in Europe but also has a solid presence in the U.S.
We found that we had lots of people participating live from Europe and further abroad but very few from Scotland (all online), reflecting the differing government attitudes to covid restrictions. This gives time for the microphone to make its way to the live audience for the next question, a definite improvement.
That’s a fresh headache for Europe’s grid operators. In Europe, that means clusters of demand in Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. “It definitely adds a level of credibility around the potential for an all-green hydrogen future, and then skipping over, potentially the blue one,” Gibson said in an interview.
The study, which looks at how Europe's top 25 banks are faring against eight different climate and biodiversity-related metrics, paints a picture of a sector whose efforts to remedy its extensive environmental footprint remain patchy at best, and grossly negligent at worst.
