The facility I have been assigned is the popular tourist destination‚ Gardens by the Bay‚ and in this report I will be researching on and discussing the motivations for environmental concerns and actions‚ as well as the sustainability efforts of Gardens by the Bay‚ based on my visit there. Sustainability and Conservation One of Gardens by the Bay main principles is environmental sustainability. Sustainability is defined as the ability of a system to maintain its own viability over an extended period

Why do energy policies differ from country to country? Energy policies‚ the manner in which a governments decides to address issues of energy development including energy production‚ distribution and consumption‚ are different in every country around the globe. This is mainly due to economic development‚ population size‚ geographical location and many other factors for example in the UK‚ as gas imports will rise in the future‚ the government has imposed a policy of trying to encourage the development

which are crude oil and coal. BP (2012) stated that in 2011 global oil consumption has increased 0.7 per cent to reach 88 million BOPD. Despite the fact that the consumption is not picturing a significant amount of growth‚ according to UNCTAD (2012)‚ in the same period crude oil load capacity reached 1.8 billion tons and has an account for approximately one third of the total world seaborne trade. Meanwhile‚ global consumption of coal has increased significantly in the same period. As BP (2012) mentioned

FiberLaboratory The purpose of the research was to develop new foils model for headbox screen on higher consistency level of the feed flow than foil that is used today with target feed/accept consistency being approximately 2.0%. However‚ energy consumption and pulsation level should be in same range as today’s foil type has. The study was commissioned by Andritz. The study was carried out at Fiber-Laboratory in Savonlinna. The work was divided into four parts. First part was the test of Dolphin D
