In late 2000, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) adopted a new “Ordinance on Environmental Preservation”, which includes an array of regulatory measures to control air, water, soil, as well as noise pollution.
he Ministry of Environment (MOE) has completed building 180 high-speed charging stations for public use to expand distribution of electric vehicles (EV). This initative is aimed at reducing driver’s concern over availability of charging stations in areas with high concentrations of EV adoption.
Since 2000, the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department (EPD) has been working to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions derived from motor vehicle usage.
Distributed energy source networks and technologies are playing an increasingly important role in the energy portfolio. These networks can be used to meet baseload power, peaking power, backup power, remote power, power quality, as well as cooling and heating needs. Distributed power generators are small compared with typical central-station power plants and provide unique benefits […]
The Marine Singapore Green Initiative is an incentive-based program that aims to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions in the marine shipping sector. The measures developed are based upon existing International Maritime Organization (IMO). The MSGI is composed of three separate programs: Green Ship Program Green Port Program Green Technology Program Green Ship Program […]
