The largest US cities—New York, Los Angeles and Chicago—score best in economic factors but are hindered by poor transportation infrastructure, lack of green spaces and diminishing affordable housing, according to the inaugural Sustainable Cities Index by ARCADIS, a leading global natural and built asset design and consultancy firm.

An international study of 10 global cities found that a balance of geophysical factors (climate, access to resources, and gateway status) and technical factors (power generation, urban design, and waste processing) determine the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) attributable to cities.

The South Bay region I live and work in covers an area of 161 square miles and encompasses 15 cities plus portions of the City of Los Angeles and unincorporated portions of the County of Los Angeles. They’re kind of funny that way. It hardly seems fair. The software has tabs for: Buildings and Facilities.

An added benefit of the conversion program is that it not only reduces pollution but also extends the life of the vehicles, helping to eliminate waste production and creating a reduce-and-reuse program. As a result of these efforts, FedEx Express has saved 45 million gallons of fuel or 452,573 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

This will divert 100 tons per day of food waste from landfills and use that to produce enough renewable natural gas to replace 566,000 gallons of diesel fuel and generate 3.17 million to modify an existing biorefinery to test and optimize the use of non-food woody plant materials to produce low-carbon ethanol, called cellulosic ethanol.

The program funds projects to encourage the development and use of new technologies and alternative and renewable fuels, including electricity, natural gas, biomethane, hydrogen, and gasoline and diesel substitutes, such as cellulosic ethanol (derived from woody materials, including agricultural waste), and biodiesel from waste grease.

The first phase of this $32-million refinery is slated to be operating within a year of funding, producing 5 million gallons a year of biodiesel made from waste vegetable oils obtained from restaurants and commercial food producers, and animal fats obtained from rendering operations. CNG is much less polluting than conventional diesel.

The most people were talking about was carbon offsets of various types, and there were some early talks about sustainable aviation fuels, biofuels, and all that, which are either not scalable or are super-expensive, so I felt that there is a lot of technological opportunity there. In California, there is a Low Carbon Fuel Standard program.

California’s strategy to meet the goals of AB 32 is based on the continued implementation of adopted actions including Advanced Clean Cars ( earlier post ); the 33% Renewables Portfolio Standard; statewide energy-efficiency initiatives; Cap-and-Trade; the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS); and other programs.

It basically involves doing a “carbon inventory&# of your city and using special software to plug in all the numbers. But if I’m going to single out valuable human resources I’ve got to offer up the COG’s Climate Action Plan Coordinator, Heidi Aten, who is helping each city tabulate their carbon footprint.

The prototype vehicle, called Project PUMA (Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility), is designed to ease congestion and pollution problems in cities. These PUMAs dont pollute the air, they dont make loud noises, and they go slow enough to prevent a lot of traffic accidents, especially for teens. Im astonished at the negativity here.

Every scrap of waste food, garden trimmings and even sewage would be used to ferment gas. The idea of self-sufficient cities is gaining currency in the European Union, which has set itself the ambitious task of cutting carbon dioxide (CO{-2}) emissions to one-fifth below 1990 levels by 2020 ? . the biggest cuts anywhere in the world.

To deal with this major special waste problem has to my knowledge never ever been brought to the attention of the readers of any paper around the world. Batteries are highly special toxic waste and cannot be dropped on the average dump site, so who is going to pay to get rid of this problem? Next: a carbon tax. — Jared 9.
