Sustainable Development for Engineers
(WM0929)Lecture 10: Technology for Sustainable Development
Technology in Sustainable Development: What can the engineer do?
10_OCW_-_Technology_for_Sustainable_Development.pdf In this last presentation several tools and insights are presented to aid the engineer in contributing to sustainable innovation. The focus of this lecture is on innovations at the systems level and on the technological transition that is required to achieve sustainable development. Attention is first paid to triple D technologies (dumping, displacement, dilution), management and end of pipe technologies. The remaining of the lecture focusses on how to accomplish a systems change using the example of CFC’s and the Ozone layer. |
Key-words: system change, transition.
