Methods of Achieving Sustainability In this project suggests several ways to make the system more sustainable. (Variable speed appliance for energy saving included curtain pullers, trains themselves, automatic screen door, moving walkway, lift and escalator, compressors and pumps, catapults and launchers.) There are many discussed with respect to their "Efficiency of use and Conservation". These are defined as follows:
Conservation: Changing policy and/or processes of the MTR system so that it requires less energy to operate.
Efficiency of Use: Changing the nature of technologies within the MTR so that they require less energy to operate. While both these approaches are valid ways of increasing sustainability, it is important to tackle the problem of sustainability from numerous angles. It can be assumed that developments will be made to achieve both conservation and high
Energy has easily become one of the most important necessities for our everyday lives. Without it we would simply not be able to have transportation or be able to gather any of our other resources that we depend on. If at anytime our energy supply ceases or no longer attainable the results may be horrific. However, it is quite easy to keep this from happening, It is crucial that our current population realize the importance of sustaining our present non-renewable resources. An examination of all the present energy issues and human impacts of energy conservation along with the a resource plan will show importance of energy
Case Background: - In transportation industry, one of the biggest challenge is how to deal with carbon dioxide emissions and how to reduce the energy. According to the Natural Resources Canada, one third of the greenhouse emission is because of transportation industry.
Three quarters of emissions in 2004 were coming from road traffic (Woodcock, p.1930, 2009). Emissions used from transportation are forecasted to increase from the year 2007-2030 by about 80% according to studies done by James Woodcock who is currently studying climate change and health from car fuels (Woodcock, p.1930, 2009). This is due to the fact that the emissions from vehicles are increasing significantly and are higher than any other energy fragment (Woodcock, p.1930, 2009). The only way to lower this percentage is to decrease the number of individual automobiles on the road and increase the number of public transit systems, starting long distance walking to work or school, carpooling or even biking to destinations. These principles would
Astrid Varga, the project manager of ECO-Trans, a European-based company renowned for its efforts to cut down fuel cost and to reduce C02 emissions. The firm deals with the provision of “driver aide” systems that are used in land transport equipment such as trains, buses, and transport vehicles. The EC0-Stream company carries out the analysis of the current route of buses and trains, including scheduling arrival time, and advising the operator on techniques like gear or notch or when to break or coast to save on fuel. The prime client is Sunshine Rail Transit (SRT) – a light
ECO-Trans is a European company that provides “driver assist” technology for trains, buses, and other mass transit vehicles. Installation of the company’s product that is known as ECO-Stream offers a company various advantages that includes routing, scheduling as well as advice on operations and techniques (Mindedge, 2014). Sunshine Rail Transit (SRT) has contracted ECO-Trans to install ECO-Stream on its fleet of 53 locomotives. Astrid Varga is the project manager in charge of implementation of the project at ECO-Trans, and therefore will oversee the implementation of
There are many potential pathways to decarbonisation, but one in particular covers all the important aspects. This pathway involves having ambitious energy efficiency, which leads to a
Pursuant to energy efficiency policies, controversy swirls as climate changes are experienced in the U.S. and around the globe. When energy efficiency steps are put into place, economic outlooks turn positive. Obama’s policymaking in this arena makes “critical investments in advanced vehicle and fuel technologies, public transit, and high speed rail” (United Press International). With new fuel efficiency standards that will improve fuel economy by 2025, and other initiatives that he enacted, “12 billion barrels of oil will be saved and American consumers will save $1.7 trillion at the pump, and greenhouse gas emission standards for commercial trucks, vans, and buses for are projected to save over 500 million barrels of oil and save vehicle owners and operators an estimated $50 billion in fuel costs” (United Press
Horizon Utilities Corporation is pleased to recognize the efforts of National Steel Car (the only producer of railroad cars in Canada) for saving an estimated 2,192,400 kWh per year . Horizon Utilities’ conservation and demand management teams worked with National Steel Car to assist in finding greater efficiencies. The company
Town of Banff has a new “environmentally innovative public transit system”(www.ecovert.ca). The purpose of these busses are to increase ridership, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support Banff’s “Environmental Stewardship Policy—to nurture a sustainable community with a balanced approach to social and economic development”(www.ecovert.ca)
11) These technologies would save 2,900 to 3,900 gallons of gasoline over their lifetime. Thereby cutting emissions of global-warming gases by 37 to 50 tons.
Fuel is used more efficiently with public transportation than with personal automobiles. The amount of CO2 emissions decreases drastically as well. The most recent example of this trend is Chicago’s new policy of restricting cars on it main roads. Chicago was able to decrease CO2 emission by 55% by switching to public transportation and power their public buses with the leftover fuel from cars. This reduces fuel and CO2 emissions in the long term. There are those who say that restricting automobiles would hurt the economy due to blows dealt to the auto industry; however, there would be an increase in the bike industry due to consumers switching to bikes and alternate forms of transportation. The bike industry would substitute the car industry and jobs would simply be transferred from one industry to the other and result in a boost in the economy while saving the environment. This idea would help to boost sales in other industries and save the environment while doing so.
“Matson Navigation Co. spent $14 million to make its diesel-powered ships more environmentally friendly. The Honolulu-based company goes through the Port of Long Beach to bring supplies to Hawaii.” Even though Matson Navigation Co. is trying to erase their environmental footprint many people go out into the world and pollute it, some do not know, do not think about it, or just do not care. If people think or try new ways to make the world a bit cleaner, or just lower the percentage of pollution each year the Earth could become so much nicer and cleaner. To work with energy, there are many ways people can, first they could help make cleaner
Abstract – The world can’t be imagined without IC Engines ,as their applications are wider in various fields. And mainly used input for this engines are fossil fuels. But the challenge in this is decreasing rate of resources. The fossil fuels may not be available after some years if they used in the same way .Not only the fossil but also the electric power is the non renewable energy, This paper concentrates to run the engine without fossil fuels or electricity.
In order to live sustainably in a world with limited resources and increasing environmental, social and economic inequity it is vital for institutions, individuals and companies to examine the way
