Prospect of Emission Reduction Standard for Sustainable Port Equipment Electrification

Dry Port Is A Place for Sustainable Development

The dry port is an intermediate terminal terminal that is directly connected to seaports and has a high capacity in terms of vehicles from which consumers can pick up or drop off standard Kalara units. This port is a combined terminal on the shore that is connected to the coastal port. Necessary and sufficient equipment to deal with traffic caused by several modes of transportation, including r...

Developing an equipment SCCR standard for manufacturers of industrial equipment

Are the Rural Electrification Efforts in the Ecuadorian Amazon Sustainable?

In this paper, we assess the sustainability of rural electrification programs in Ecuador, paying special attention to programs targeting small indigenous communities in the Amazon basin. Our assessment considers four dimensions of sustainability (institutional, economic, environmental, and socio-cultural) and is based on an exhaustive qualitative document analysis, complemented by semi-structur...

Enhancement of a Diesel Engine Inlet Port for Pollutant Reduction and Performance Optimization

This research uses computational modeling to explore another method to increase diesel engine performance while maintaining low pollutant emission levels. Previous studies have shown that injection-rate profiles and injector configurations play important roles on the performance and emissions of particulate and NOx in DI diesel engines. Since the most important engine design parameters, includi...

A Standard Design Process for Sustainable Design

This exploratory research examined the degree of adoption and impact of the concepts of Building Information Model (BIM), Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), Integrated Design Process (IDP) and Building Energy Simulation (BES) on the design processes of advanced architectural firms when executing sustainable design. Six offices identified by the press and peers’ recognition for a strong commitme...

Decentralized Renewable Hybrid Mini-Grids for Sustainable Electrification of the Off-Grid Coastal Areas of Bangladesh

Lack of access to energy is considered as a serious bottleneck for the socio-economic development of Bangladesh. Despite earning recognition for promoting solar home systems, most of the rural areas and remote islands of the country still remain non-electrified due to very high unit cost and low quality of electricity from solar home systems (SHS) coupled with only few hours of restricted usage...
