While contemplating this I remembered a quote from Jurassic Park “Life will find a way!”; and although the dominant species on earth have been lost a number of times in the past, others better adapted to the new conditions, survive and flourish.
Solvents are used in large quantities in chemistry-based processing, their release to the atmosphere is climatically impactful, their waste streams are environmentally toxic, they represent a significant cost and risk in terms of treatment and regulation.There is a significant problem and no clear single path to addressing it.
Some progress can be made intra-company, other parts require innovation in the supply and waste chains.Technological solutions need regulatory change, and other parts will need cross-sector collaboration.. To address the problem requires significant investment in capital and resources.In short, a complex problem and therefore there are dilemmas.
Feedback from the participants demonstrated that the problem is seen as a priority within their business/sector.This is not ubiquitous, and, in some sectors, there is a lack of market demand and economic momentum..
Some parts of the industry are well advanced in their thinking and understanding of this emerging problem, while others are at the early stages.. What defines the dilemma, as much as any measure, are the multiple avenues being investigated to improve the situation.. What defines the dilemma, as much as any measure, are the multiple avenues being investigated to improve the situation.. Reducing usage through changing chemical pathways and process efficiency/intensification, combined with local, in-house recycling demonstrate how companies are looking within to solve most of the problem.
Perhaps this represents a logical approach to reducing the demand for new solvent supplies as a precedent to finding new sources of biogenic.As such, the National Digital Twin isn’t meant to be a one-to-one map of everything.
The aim is to keep the data as close to the creator as possible, and to keep the creator in control.The National Digital Twin aims to create a translation mechanism called the Information Management Framework.
This won’t be a massive data store sitting in the cloud.Instead, it’s a federated system allowing different parties to find and use data from other sources, and to check whether they’re allowed to do so..
