Cleaner Technology Projects in Denmark 1996

Cleaner Technology Projects 1993 -Summaries

Cleaner Technology Projects 1993 – Summaries is a work report with summaries of all 42 environmental projects and work reports made by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (Miljøstyrelsen) about cleaner technology, which were published in 1994.

Two publications from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency with relevance for the effort of cleaner technology, in the shape of a report from the "North Jutland Framework Program" (Nordjyske Rammeprogram) - published in the series "Guidance from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency" (Orientering fra Miljøstyrelsen) – and the handbook "Chemical Cleaning Processes" (Kemiske Afrensningsprocesser) – published in the series of "Environmental News" (Miljønyt-serien) have been included.

The projects were carried out according to the action plan "Cleaner Technology 1993-97" made by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (Miljøstyrelsens handlingsplan for Renere Teknologi 1993-97).

In 1993, more than half of the subsidies was used for industrial processes. Out of an aggregate allocation of 76 Mio. DKK 35 millions DKK went to projects within this field, while 10 Mio. DKK were used on projects focusing on products.

The keywords for the efforts made in 1993 were limitation and reduction. Limitation of the direct environmental impacts of production, consumption and disposal of goods – e.g. by substitution of environmental damaging substances and materials, and reduction of the consumption of the nature’s resources and energy.

The environmental conditions have increasingly become competitive parameters for the companies. The introduction of cleaner technologies has demonstrated to cause operating savings and lower production costs, and these experiences have been provided e.g. through the project reports.

Cross-references have been given for the projects, which are part of important examinations or if a preceding or following project exists.

Since the work reports are only published in a restricted circulation some may no longer be available. These can be borrowed from the library of the Danish Environmental Protection Agency. The environmental reports can be bought through the Danish Environmental Protection Agency or in the "Environmental Store" (Miljøbutikken) or borrowed at a public library.

This collection of reports has also been published in English.
