Environmental Performance Improvement in the Cement Industry
… from the plants. A new metric for assessing the environmental impact of the fuel mix of a plant was proposed, and evidence indicates that it may be a better predictor of environmental performance than the metrics currently used in industry. The research found that consistently improving this fuel …

Do improvements in environmental performance lead to job loss?
One dominant argument against environmental regulations is that the regulations will increase costs to facilities, causing the facilities to lay-off their workers. However, there are several ways facilities can respond to regulatory and community pressures to increase environmental performance. The …

Benchmarking Pavement Environmental Performance Using Data-Driven Modeling and Policy
Recently, federal and state governments have been implementing policy to reduce embodied emissions coming from the production of materials. However, pavement materials impact emissions throughout the pavement lifecycle, not just during production. This paper addresses how a new pavement evaluation …
