"Green", or environmentally-friendly, manufacturing is a global societal demand as we strive to safeguard our planet’s natural resources while advancing manufacturing and mass-production technology. The Energy & Environment Exchange covers power and energy optimization, chemical and substance analysis, fossil fuel and nuclear power plant standards, water/wastewater issues, PAT (Process Analytical Technology), and NeSSI (New Sampling/Sensor Initiative). Environmental sampling and monitoring solutions, opacity measurement and particulate monitoring, regulatory compliance, along with both indoor and outdoor air pollution will round out this topical Exchange. The energy component, new in 2009, addresses timely topics such as smart grid, energy management, and renewable and alternative energy sources.
