Guidelines for Compost Quality
Author: Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment. Composting Subcommittee
Publisher: The Council
ISBN: 9781895925883
Category : Compost
Languages : en
Pages : 11
Book Description
The guidelines presented in this document apply to compost produced from municipal solid waste (MSW) or other feedstock as determined by regulatory agencies. The objectives of the guidelines are to: protect public health and the environment; encourage source separation of MSW to produce a high quality compost product; produce compost standards that are fairly consistent across Canada while accommodating different interests and issues; ensure consumer confidence; and ensure that composting develops as an important waste or resource management solution and an environmentally sound industry. The guidelines are based on the following criteria for product safety and quality: foreign matter, maturity, pathogens, and trace elements. The guidelines attempt to integrate the concept that exposure is an integral part of risk by establishing two grades (unrestricted and restricted) of material.

Liquid Transportation Fuels from Coal and Biomass
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309137128
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
The transportation sector cannot continue on its current path: The volatility of oil prices threatens the U.S. economy, the large proportion of oil importation threatens U.S. energy security, and the massive contribution of greenhouse gases threatens the environment. The development of domestic sources of alternative transportation fuels with lower greenhouse emissions is now a national imperative. Coal and biomass are in abundant supply in the United States and can be converted to liquid fuels that can be combusted in existing and future vehicles. Their abundant supply makes them attractive candidates to provide non-oil-based liquid fuels to the U.S. transportation system. However, there are important questions about the economic viability, carbon impact, and technology status of these options. Liquid Transportation Fuels from Coal and Biomass provides a snapshot of the potential costs of liquid fuels from biomass by biochemical conversion and from biomass and coal by thermochemical conversion. Policy makers, investors, leaders in industry, the transportation sector, and others with a concern for the environment, economy, and energy security will look to this book as a roadmap to independence from foreign oil. With immediate action and sustained effort, alternative liquid fuels can be available in the 2020 time frame, if or when the nation needs them.
