Displaying 1 - 12 of 19AI's potential in meeting sustainability challenges include improving resource management; mitigating wastes generated through industrial processes; and minimizing disruptions while still preserving excellent safety standards. AI tools have already been shown to improve processes for chemical engineering but AI as a part of a digital revolution in the chemical industries is still unfolding.Join us November 21, 2024 as we explore how to effectively use and analyze limited datasets to arrive at useful solutions. Before embarking on these conversations, speakers will discuss how they define “limited” or “small” data including the number of data points and variables considered. Discussions around data quality; trust and interpretability; and their integration into existing big-data workflow will be presented and speakers will share their strategies for picking chemistry problems that could be solved using the “limited data” approach. Members of the public are welcome to register and attend!

Join distinguished leaders from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for a deep dive into the new Sustainable Aviation Fuel Liftoff report. The Pathways to Commercial Liftoff reports aim to establish a common fact base between the public and private sectors on critical clean energy technologies and what it will take to scale their commercialization. These reports are the product of comprehensive stakeholder engagement with industry, investors, the broader enabling ecosystem.The SAF Liftoff Report highlights the opportunities that can catalyze SAF deployment between now and 2030. The report provides an overview of the current pathways and markets, and identifies key actions centered around scaling up supply, increasing certainty of long-term demand, and shoring up supportive policy that could address current challenges and prepare SAF for liftoff. Featured SpeakersDr. Vanessa Chan, DOE Chief Commercialization Officer & Director, DOE Office of Technology Transitions Jigar Shah, Director, DOE Loan Programs OfficeDr. Valerie Sarisky-Reed, Director, DOE Bioenergy Technologies OfficeCampbell Howe, Senior Consultant, DOE Loan Programs OfficeElizabeth Rolfes, Market and Energy Analyst, DOE Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations

Are you impacted by the classification of substances under the CLP Regulation? This webinar gives an overview of the new ECHA guidance on the recently introduced hazard classes under the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation.The updated guidance has been developed by experts from ECHA, EU Member States, EU level non-governmental organisations and associations as well as other nominated experts. The guidance outlines the new hazard classes for endocrine disruptors, Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic or Very Persistent, Very Bioaccumulative (PBT/vPvB), and Persistent, Mobile, and Toxic or Very Persistent, Very Mobile (PMT/vPvM) properties. These additions aim to better protect human health and the environment by addressing emerging concerns in chemical safety.During the webinar, we will discuss the protection goals and the classification criteria for the new hazard classes, as well as the development of the associated CLP guidance. You will also learn about the regulatory timelines and how ECHA manages the related administrative process once proposals for harmonised classification and labelling are submitted.Online | 21/11/2024 | 11:00 - 13:00 | EET, GMT +2

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will be holding its 2024 National Pollution Prevention Training and Conference in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 10-11. The event will convene representatives from EPA grantees, academia, industry, non-governmental organizations, and state and federal agencies. Participants will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of pollution prevention (P2) while leveraging and strengthening their connections to other practitioners. P2, which is also known as source reduction, is any practice that reduces, eliminates or prevents pollution at its source prior to recycling, treatment or disposal. Many of the practices and goals of P2 overlap significantly with those of sustainability and zero waste.Sessions will include panel discussions and presentations by P2 experts that examine best practices and examples of how EPA's P2 grants have delivered technical assistance to help businesses develop and adopt P2 practices. Participants will learn more about topics such as reducing pollution and finding alternatives, including for some chemicals EPA has regulated under the Toxic Substances Control Act. For example, participants will learn about efforts to find alternatives to methylene chloride and how businesses are preventing pollution by transitioning away from the use of perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene. In addition, sessions will discuss identifying sustainable food services and using products with safe ingredients in salons. LocationThe event will be held at the Yotel Washington DC at 415 New Jersey Ave., NW, Washington, DC, 20001. Virtual attendance options will be available.RegistrationEvents are free to attend, but registration is required. Participants are encouraged to attend the meeting in-person for enhanced learning and networking opportunities. However, a virtual option is available for those unable to attend in-person. Captioning will be provided for virtual attendees. Register for the 2024 National Pollution Prevention Training and Conference. Register for the 2024 National Pollution Prevention Training and Conference. Please register for the meeting by Nov. 1 if you are planning to attend in-person. The registration deadline for virtual attendance is Dec. 2.
