Environmental publications on show at WWEM

Environmental Technology Publications will be displaying latest copies of International Environmental Technology and Asian Environmental Technology at this year's Water, Wastewater and Environmental Monitoring (WWEM) exhibition, says Envirotech.

Both magazines feature products and services for water, wastewater, air, soil and gas detection. Both journals contain news on products, company news and technical articles.

Environmental Technology Publications are also the organisers of WWEM.

Greenlight presents waste management tech

US-based Greenlight Energy Solutions presented technology for processing numerous waste streams into energy, to visitors of the IFAT Entsorga trade fair in Munich, Germany, writes Inside Waste.

The Waste Conversion Pyrolysis technology has been nominated by the organisers of IFAT Entsorga as a highlight of the week-long trade fair for environmental technologies and innovations.

Speaking at IFAT's Waste Forum, Greenlight's Elisabeth Zagorskaya said: “Our conversion systems have been specifically designed with production capacity 305 tonnes of raw municipal waste per day in order to combat the global waste mounting problem and generate over 5 MWh of renewable energy locally.”

Vancouver eyes China for green tech

Vancouver's recent business mission to China has local green technology companies optimistic they can capitalise on a rate of development equivalent to the construction of two New Yorks a year, states The Province.

"The numbers are mind-boggling," Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson told The Province after returning from a 12-day trade mission to cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Robertson said he was told at the World Economic Forum in Tianjin that China will invest $700 billion a year for the next 10 years to build a "low-carbon economy."
