Abstract (sommario):

Background - The mining contractor services business that Company will operate focuses on the process of mining overburden material and coal mining products which are carried out in an open pit manner, then the coal products will be hauled or transported to the port of the concession owner. This operational process requires operational costs in accordance with the work according to the contract, Operational costs are very influential in getting a positive profit margin, because this business is what the client or concession owner pays is the rate of $/BCM of Overburden and $/Ton of coal produced. The Company only gets service revenue, not the selling price of the coal. This makes the operational cost factor very significant in maintaining this mining service business costs are very influential in getting a positive profit margin, because this business is what the client or concession owner pays is the rate of $/BCM of Overburden and $/Ton of Coal produced. The Company only gets service revenue, not the selling price of the coal. This makes the operational cost factor very significant in maintaining this mining service business.

Abstract (sommario):

This research aims to determine the effect of company size and sales growth on performance. Company size is a reflection of management's success in increasing company assets. Sales growth illustrates the company's success in expanding the marketing of its products. Company performance reflects its success in managing its finances well, proxied by Return On Assets (ROA). The analysis used in this research is panel data regression using secondary data taken from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) website. The companies studied are coal sub-sector companies listed on the IDX during 2020-2022. This research is essential now when coal is experiencing a surge in demand after previously experiencing its lowest phase. Therefore, coal companies must be able to prepare their company performance well to maintain the sustainability of their company. The research results show that company size has an effect, while sales growth does not affect company performance. The coefficient of determination in this study was 68%, which shows the level of goodness of the model in explaining company performance. This research answers the challenges of fluctuations in the coal mining industry that may occur in the future and is a solution to the uncertainty of coal demand and supply in the world.

Abstract (sommario):

Organizations dealing with B2B products experience significant challenges whencustomers are unhappy. As the number of customers is few and volumes oftransactions are high, customer satisfaction is essential for a company’s well-being.CalTech Thermal Plant Corporation, a coal customer, lost 203 crores due to substandardcoal being supplied by their long-term business ally UCL. As a result of areport by CalTech, the Minister of Natural resources and Power downgraded 250 coalmines of UCL after analyzing coal samples from various mines. UCL, a Governmentowned Maharatna status mining company, was a monopoly in coal extraction andselling in India for a long time. Over time, UCL has grown in size both in terms of thenumber of mines and employee strengths. However, a complacent and shelteredorganization UCL was exposed to a bouquet of challenges starting from the closureof coal mines in 2017, its own in-house HR problems, threats from internationalcompetitors, and substitutes for their customer’s products in the form of Solar power.The case study discusses the various environmental challenges influencing UCL to gofor major strategic decisions to endure the present crisis. The management of UCL isat a crossroads in making the organization profitable and ready for future challenges.

Abstract (sommario):

Material culture is an understudied aspect of social life in Appalachian Studies, the multi- disciplinary investigation of social life in the Appalachian region. Historically, material culture in the region has been largely studied for its semiotic properties, decoded as a tangible symbol of “a region apart,” lagging behind the rest of America in terms of moral, mental, economic, and social development. Critical material studies from archaeology and other disciplines paint a different picture, however, and construct a region as American as any other. This study utilizes discourse analysis of material rhetoric about Appalachia and archaeological and oral historical data from two twentieth-century company- owned coal mining towns in Letcher County, Kentucky. It argues that contrary to persistent stereotypes about Appalachia as a backwards place, residents were firmly embedded in the market economy and enacted modern identities through their engagement with fellow citizens and material objects. This intersectional study uses theories of practice to explore how entanglement with mass-produced goods, notably home furnishing and wellness products, constituted residents’ identities as modern consumers along with the rest of the nation during the golden age of Appalachia’s industrialism. Appalachian women and their families embraced consumer goods, whose influx intensified during the Industrial Age, entangling their constitution as modern householders with these everyday goods through daily practice. Contrary to stereotypes about Appalachian atavism and isolation, Appalachian consumers eagerly engaged with mass-produced goods and new ideals about scientific health and house-holding along with their counterparts across the progressive United States.

Abstract (sommario):

Examining the creation and peopling of the Consolidated Coal Company (CCC) company town Muchakinock, Iowa through the industrial labor migrations of Welsh, Swedes and African-American residents, this thesis focuses upon the social contestations between workers, owners and unions during four bituminous coal miners' strike incitement events in town history (1879–1900). Presenting some of the most comprehensive historical geography research to date on the company town of Muchakinock, the thesis presents eight claims for resident's strike resistance and ultimate capitulation and union affiliation; and the associated spread of capitalism and trade-unionism across Iowa's coal mining landscapes during the Gilded Age. Seeking a normalization of historical discourse, findings revealed the presence of conflicting discourses in existent historical communications content between predominantly white and African American historical communications content, and identified the emergence of a hegemonic discourse largely based on the representations of the former. More than just a micro-history of the relict company town of Muchakinock, Iowa, the thesis variously explores Muchakinock's wider network of connected geographies across Iowa terrains and the United States.

Abstract (sommario):

There is a lot of money on the line in America’s energy sector and where there is money, there is politics. In 2011, Exxon reported revenues of US$486 billion and after-tax profits of US$41 billion. Only 27 nations generated more GDP than Exxon generated in revenues. As of 2011, Exxon reported over US$214 billion invested into property, plant, and equipment. In short, there are a lot of sunk costs to defend. In the coal sector, America’s Peabody Energy, which is the world’s largest private sector coal company, posted US$8.077 billion in revenue in 2012. Understandably, America’s energy sector is one of the most hotly contested marketplaces in the world and in this marketplace, fossil fuel interests rule the roost. On the other hand, 9/11 and the ensuing military response have engendered a change in the ideological underpinnings of American energy security efforts. Even conservative factions that have typically supported a free trade energy policy have now begun to talk about the importance of ensuring control over domestic energy security. One study by Oak Ridge National Laboratory estimated that between 1970 and 2004, American dependence on foreign oil has cost the country $5.6–$14.6 trillion. This reflects both the cost of the oil and the direct economic consequences of macroeconomic shocks and transfers of wealth. Another more recent study estimated that oil dependence in the United States exceeded US$500 billion for 2008 alone. These claims are supported by trade data. The United States purchases more than 60% of its oil from foreign sources each year and the cost of petroleum products is the single largest contributor—48%—to the country’s US$700 billion trade deficit. Supply costs aside, one study recently concluded that the military costs in the Persian Gulf needed to protect oil assets and infrastructure range from US$50 billion to $100 billion per year; a second, independent study put the figure at between US$29 billion and $80 billion per year. The United States is spending billions each year to protect a supply chain that is in part responsible for financing terrorist activities such as the 2001 attack on New York’s World Trade Center buildings.

Abstract Chapter Five unearths the hidden role Coca-Cola played in helping to end apartheid in South Africa, providing a rare glimpse into the company’s political work and setting the stage for its involvement in fully post-colonial Africa. This chapter begins in the 1970s in America, where activism helped to compel the company to change its stance on South Africa. It tells the story of Carl Ware, who played a key role in Coca-Cola’s particular form of divestment. It explores how this unique form of divestment entailed working closely with ANC operatives in South Africa and in exile. Coca-Cola’s form of divestment meant that there was never a time that you could not buy a Coke product in South Africa. Still, this chapter shows how this form gained the praise of such stalwarts as Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela, though it remains controversial to this day.

Abstract There was a great deal of excitement, both inside and outside the two organizations, when pharmaceutical company American Home Products and biotechnology company Monsanto announced merger plans on June 1,1998. After all, American Home offered a formidable marketing infrastructure, with a sales force of 10,000, to launch products emerging from Monsanto’s promising drug pipeline. Monsanto brought R&D expertise and an aggressive growth strategy, which American Home’s financial resources could support. The two companies anticipated saving $1.5 billion over three years by closing redundant facilities and halting redundant R&D efforts. But less than five months later, merger plans had been scrapped.

Olaudah Equiano is arguably the founder of the slave narrative, in his case one in which he explores his capture in Africa as a boy, his different masters, his conversion to evangelical Protestantism, his entrepreneurship, and his service in the navy—all requisites to being considered fully “British” at the time. This chapter explores his footnote in his Interesting Narrative acknowledging how Philadelphia Quaker abolitionist Anthony Benezet’s anthropology of West Africa informed his story, and how Benezet—who had never been to Africa—relied on the slavery-funded Library Company of Philadelphia, for books of travels to Africa for that anthropology. In doing so, it provides archival evidence of how Philadelphians exchanged their grain and other products for slaves and Caribbean slave plantation products. It also provides the first ever analysis of the library’s 1794–1812 circulation receipt book, showing the circulation of all the genres encapsulated in both men’s accounts.

By that time, Kellogg’s had over 20 plants in 18countries worldwide, with yearly sales reaching above US $6 billion. But since the 1990s, the company started receiving the pressure from its rivals, as a result the company started looking at the markets other than United States and that of UK’s.

Abstract (sommario):

In the movies, chemical companies maximize profits by poisoning their customers, workers, neighbors, and the environment, or they terrorize or outright kill the heroic insider who becomes a whistleblower. English professor Phillip Lopate argued in the New York Times that movies about business in general present a cartoon view of corporate structure (usually there isn’t one), making them the “fantasy villain,” a nearly faceless evil represented in the narrative by a “wall of Suits” (Lopate 2000). Business professor Ribstein goes further and asserts that the overwhelmingly negative view of business in American film narratives is fueled by filmmakers who feel their artistic vision is constrained by profit-making capitalists (Ribstein 2005). Ribstein begins his argument with a summary of nine movies about “Evil Corporations.” He doesn’t appear to realize that seven of them were companies that handle or produce chemicals: The China Syndrome (1979), Silkwood (1983), The Fugitive (1993), A Civil Action (1998), The Insider (1999), Erin Brockovich (2000), and Mission: Impossible II (2000). All of these films, and many others, were considered for inclusion in this chapter but, as the fastest growing category of chemistry in the movies, only two from this evil seven made it into the present chapter: Silkwood (1983) and Erin Brockovich (2000). The evil chemical company theme plays out in several ways. In the deeply satiric comedy Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy (1998), the pharmaceutical company’s happiness drug provides a foundation upon which the comedy troupe bases their humor. This chemical gravitas also lends weight to a number of fictional dramas that explore the theme of toxicity, such as One Man (1977), I Love Trouble (1994), and The Constant Gardener (2005). The company presidents in these movies murder, or hire thugs to murder, the individuals who choose to expose the toxicity of their products. Evil chemical companies are found in “based on a true story” dramas such as in Silkwood (1983), Erin Brockovich (2000), and Bhopal Express (2001). Knowing that the story is based on true tales of toxic chemicals lends considerable weight to these story lines.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Throughout its history, the Walt Disney Company has foregrounded community singing as part of its construction of American cultural identity across its film, television, and theme park texts, while at the same time acting as an important disseminator of music for community consumption. The studio’s 1950s films and television shows, such as Davy Crockett, The Mickey Mouse Club, and The Light in the Forest, present community singing, often of simulated folksongs (or “fakesongs”), as an important part of American life in both the idealized present and the constructed past. The Mickey Mouse Club even encouraged children to sing along from their own homes. From the founding of Disneyland in 1955 to the present international expansion of the theme parks, Disney’s attractions, shows, and parades have asked park-goers to join with each other and with professional performers, real and audio-animatronic, in singing traditional American songs as well as newly composed music. By enabling and encouraging community singing based on its own musical products, Disney has since the 1950s cemented its centrality in American cultural life. The company has long given its consumers a literal voice in their use of its products as it taps into their desire for nostalgia, tradition, and shared identity.

Abstract (sommario):

The mergers and acquisitions currently taking place in the energy industry are often thought to be new to our times but are actually part of an on-going process common in the energy industry since its inception. The paper traces the evolution of Conectiv, a current mid-Atlantic supplier of energy and energy delivery company, from its foundations over 100 years ago as Wilmington Coal Gas Company and Electric Light Company of Atlantic City through dozens of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, with products as diverse as electricity, gas, ice, trolleys, trains, steam, cooling, appliances, telephone service, and even the Internet. The impact of technological advances, both within the power industry and in society, as well as major historical events such as the Great Depression or World War II, will be highlighted.

Abstract (sommario):

Aero-derivative gas turbines have been successfully serving the power generation, mechanical drive, and marine markets for 40 years. These products are well suited for distributed generation, with sizes in the range from 3 MW to 50+ MW. The Rolls-Royce group of companies provide vertical integration for aero-derivative based energy systems, having marketing, sales, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, and customer service capabilities. The 3– 6 MW, 501-K family serves power generation and cogeneration applications. The new 6–8 MW 601 is used for cogeneration and mechanical drive. The 15 MW Avon is widely applied to mechanical drives, offering exceptional reliability and low life cycle cost. The RB211 provides over 30 MW at high efficiency, and is used in mechanical drive and electrical generation. The 42% efficient, 50 MW, Trent is primarily intended for electrical generation. This engine retains a higher than usual degree of commonality with aero production modules, thus retaining the cost advantage of high volume production and benefits from continuous improvements in aero engines. Plans: Cost reduction of mature existing products will be achieved by “industrialization”, e.g. by alloy changes and shape simplification, of parts no longer in aero production. Better integrated packaging and “more electric aircraft” features are rapidly becoming a necessity in the competitive marketplace. The trend is toward minimizing and possibly eliminating mechanical drives and other components in a gas turbine to improve product quality, efficiency, reduce product cost, while enhancing product quality and the environment. In this regard, the approach being taken near term is to substitute normal oil bearings with Active Magnetic Bearings. Such an action would help eliminate high cost skid lubrication system components and some environmental hazards as well as reducing maintenance. Several programs will make contributions to environmental improvements through reduced emissions and the use of “renewable” fuels. A prototype 501-K has been supplied to operate on gasified coal, a reduced emissions path to generating electricity from coal. A dual fuel DLE combustion system for very high pressure ratio and turbine temperature is in development for the Trent, having downward compatibility with other company products. The Next Generation Gas Turbine (NGGT) project, sponsored by the US Department of Energy, will use an existing engine core. Advanced modules, including a long life “spiral” recuperator and cycle enhancements combine to yield 50% cycle efficiency at a reduced cost per kW. The goal is to produce a 50 MW class plant with “combined cycle efficiency at simple cycle cost.” The NGGT is suited to using alternate fuel for part of the energy input. Following evaluation of fuel cell/gas turbine hybrids, a specially suited gas turbine development is being initiated with sponsorship by the U.S. Department of Energy. The company is also conducting a solid oxide fuel cell program. An auxiliary power unit(APU) was developed and is now in production for the M1 tank. A “microturbine” derivative of this product is being considered for distributed generation.

Abstract (sommario):

Recent interest in hydrogen fuel cells and fuel cell vehicles as well as interest in the energy independence of the United States has prompted investigation into the question of using methanol derived from domestic coal as a primary source for hydrogen production. Since 1983 Eastman Chemical Company has been utilizing methanol from high sulfur coal feedstock in the production of acetic anhydride and acetic acid at their Chemicals from Coal Facility in Kingsport, TN. The Chemicals from Coal Facility was the first use of a commercial Texaco coal gasifier to provide clean syngas for the production of acetyl chemicals. Methanol is produced as an intermediate step in the process in a Lurgi fixed catalyst bed gas phase reactor and in a newer “Liquid Phase” slurry process, which was built in 1997 as a joint venture between Eastman, Air Products and Chemicals Inc., and the Department of Energy. Initial testing has indicated that hydrogen can be derived from this coal-based fuel but impurities were seen as problematic, especially for utilization in fuel cells. The coal-derived methanol has since been further refined and distilled, yet no full analysis of the hydrogen produced from this refined product for fuel cell applications has taken place. This paper will discuss the fuel pathway from coal to hydrogen, including a description of the Eastman’s Coal Gasification Process and methanol production facilities as well as the research underway to quantify production of hydrogen from this coal-based methanol utilizing the latest reforming technologies for use in a Polymer Electrolyte (PEM) fuel cell.

Abstract (sommario):

Coal consumption for electricity generation produces over 30% of U.S. carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, but coal is also an available, secure, and low cost fuel that is currently utilized to meet roughly half of America’s electricity demand. While the world transitions from the existing fossil fuel-based energy infrastructure to a sustainable energy system, carbon dioxide capture and sequestration (CCS) will be a critical technology that will allow continued use of coal in an environmentally acceptable manner. Techno-economic analyses are useful in understanding the costs and benefits of CCS. However, typical techno-economic analyses of post-combustion CO2 capture systems assume continuous operation at a high CO2 removal, which could use 30% of pre-capture electricity output and require new capacity installation to replace the output lost to CO2 capture energy requirements. This study, however, considers the inherent flexibility in post-combustion CO2 capture systems by modeling power plants that vary CO2 capture energy requirements in order to increase electricity output when economical under electricity market conditions. A first-order model of electricity dispatch and a competitive electricity market is used to investigate flexible CO2 capture in response to hourly electricity demand variations. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) electric grid is used as a case study to compare plant and grid performance, economics, and CO2 emissions in scenarios without CO2 capture to those with flexible or inflexible CO2 capture systems. Flexible CO2 capture systems can choose how much CO2 to capture based on the competition between CO2 and electricity prices and a desire to either minimize operating costs or maximize operating profits. Coal and natural gas prices have varying degrees of predictability and volatility, and the relative prices of these fuels have a major impact on power plant operating costs and the resulting plant dispatch sequence. Because the chosen operating point in a flexible CO2 capture system affects net power plant efficiency, fuel prices also influence which CO2 capture operating point may be the most economical and the resulting dispatch of power plants with CO2 capture. Several coal and natural gas price combinations are investigated to determine their impact on flexible CO2 capture operation and the resulting economic and environmental impacts at the power plant and electric grid levels. This study investigates the costs and benefits of flexible CO2 capture in a framework of a carbon-constrained future where the effects of major energy infrastructure changes on fuel prices are not entirely clear.

Abstract (sommario):

The City of Taunton, MA (City) has undertaken a competitive procurement process to consider proposals for a private company to develop, design, permit, finance, construct and operate a Solid Waste Management Facility (SWMF), which may be sized up to 1800 tons per day (TPD), to serve both the City’s and region’s needs for long term solid waste management. A comprehensive Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQP) for the SWMF was issued in June 2008. The City initiated the procurement process because its current landfill is scheduled to reach capacity in 2013. The procurement process focused on conversion technologies capable of recovering materials and producing electricity or fuels, and maximizing diversion of waste from landfilling. Technologies considered included both traditional and emerging technologies; e.g., composting, co-composting, thermal gasification, aerobic and anaerobic digestion, hydrolysis and mechanical means of waste separation into useful products. Landfilling and traditional waste-to-energy technologies were not considered.

Abstract (sommario):

Bulk products such as iron ore and coal are usually shipped directly from shore facilities using large bulk carriers. This often involves significant cost due to major dredging operations, long jetties, large storage sheds and the acquisition of large tracts of coastal land. The costs of direct shore to an ocean-going export vessel (OGV) loading often run into billions of dollars — prohibitive for small- to medium-scale mining operations, particularly in remote regions with only distant access to deep water ports. The current industry standard for mitigating these issues is transhipping; the bulk cargo is transported from a smaller shore based facility to the export vessel moored in deep water by a small feeder vessel. Transhipment, while mitigating many of these issues, does introduce other concerns with respect to limiting seastate, environmentally harmful dust and potential spillage during materials transfer. The Australian company Sea Transport Corporation and the Australian Maritime College at the University of Tasmania are developing new technology for bulk ore transhipment: the floating harbour transhipper (FHT). The FHT is essentially a large floating warehouse with an aft well dock to support material transfer operations from the feeder vessel. The major advantages to the mining export industry are in the form of environmental and economic improvements, in some cases completely avoiding expensive dredging while minimising the environmentally invasive onshore infrastructure. In addition, the whole process is enclosed, therefore eliminating grab spillage and dust transport issues common to other transhipping methods. This paper presents an overview of the main hydrodynamic issues currently being investigated: primarily the interaction between multiple floating bodies close to one another in a seaway. The two primary ship-to-ship interactions that are being investigated are the effects experienced by the feeder vessel when it is docking or undocking within the FHT well dock and the interactions between the three vessels when operating in close proximity in an open seaway. A combination of physical scale model experiments and numerical techniques is employed, with a significant portion of the experimental program dedicated to the validation of the numerical simulation codes used to investigate the behaviour of the vessels. ShipMo3D is an object based library developed by DRDC for the purpose of analysing the seakeeping performance of vessels operating in a seaway in either the frequency or time domain. The capabilities of ShipMo3D are applied to this novel application in an attempt to provide realistic simulations of the interaction between the vessels of the FHT system. DualSPHysics, an open source Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code, is being applied to the domain within the very restricted water environment of the FHT well dock to investigate the fluid flow behaviour and the effect that this has on the feeder vessel when entering/exiting.

Abstract (sommario):

Babcock Power Environmental (BPE), a Babcock Power Inc. company, has developed a new, innovative, high-efficiency NOx reduction technology designed to greatly reduce the NOx emissions from waste to energy (WTE) boilers at relatively low cost. This “tail-end” system uses Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to achieve the high reduction performance. Conventional SCR catalyst cannot be used in the traditional “high-dust” location, downstream of the economizer because constituents in the ash would poison the catalyst quickly, rendering it useless. Thus, the Regenerative Selective Catalytic Reduction (RSCR®) system is designed to operate at the end of the plant before the flue gas is discharged to the stack. The process utilizes a reactant (usually aqueous ammonia) to be added to the flue gas stream upstream of the RSCR to reduce NOx to harmless reaction products, N2 and H2O. The RSCR combines the efficient heat recovery, temperature control, reactant mixing, and catalyst into a single unit and provides the maximum NOx reduction and heat recovery practical. The paper will describe the overall predicted performance of a typical WTE boiler plant using this new technology. The paper will also provide actual operating data on the RSCR, which has been retrofitted to four biomass-fired units.

Abstract (sommario):

This paper focuses on a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) application to Energy-from-Waste (EfW) boiler systems, which are much smaller than utility boilers, but typically have more complicated design and performance issues due to the nature of their fuel: municipal solid waste (MSW). The majority of the commercially available CFD software packages have impressive capabilities in homogeneous flow modeling, which make them very suitable for gas fired boilers and with some reasonable simplifications to oil and pulverized coal fired boilers. But this is not the case for EfW boilers, especially mass-burn technology, where MSW combustion on the grate is the “heart” of the process. These boilers have two interacting phases: MSW burning on the grate and combustion products with entrained fly ash particles above the grate. This challenge has been recognized from the very first applications of CFD modeling in the EfW industry. This paper describes several approaches to numeric modeling of MSW boilers. In the most successful cases, two different models have been built: one for the grate combustion and another for the homogeneous gas flow, with back-and-forth iterations between these two models. Such an approach has given Covanta Energy (Covanta) a good start in its CFD modeling program. A number of models have been built, tested and validated, resulting in several successful project executions. However, some serious limitations have been found in this approach as explained in this paper. Recognizing these deficiencies, Covanta has recently made a new significant step in its CFD development program by creating an innovative, fully integrated CFD model that comprises solid fuel combustion on the grate, gaseous phase interactions above the grate, and the rest of the boiler. While this integrated model and its validation are still in progress, Covanta is moving forward on its application to on-going projects.

Abstract (sommario):

High temperature corrosion is a major operating problem because it results in unscheduled shutdowns in Waste-to-Energy (WTE) plants and accounts for a significant fraction of the total operating cost of WTE plants. Due to the heterogeneous nature of municipal solid waste (MSW) fuel and the presence of aggressive elements such as sulfur and chlorine, WTE plants have higher corrosion rates than coal-fired power plants which operate at higher temperature. To reduce corrosion rates while maximizing the heat recovery efficiency has long been a critical task for WTE operators. Past researchers focused on high temperature corrosion mechanisms and have identified important factors which affect the corrosion rate [1–4]. Also, there have been many laboratory tests seeking to classify the effects of these corrosion factors. However, many tests were performed under isothermal conditions where temperatures of flue gas and metal surface were the same and did not incorporate the synergistic effect of the thermal gradient between environment (flue gas) and metal surface. This paper presents a corrosion resistance test using an apparatus that can maintain a well controlled thermal gradient between the environment and the surface of the metals tested for corrosion resistance. Two commercial substrates (steels SA213-T11 and NSSER-4) were tested under different corrosive environments. The post-test investigation consisted of mass loss measurement of tested coupons, observation of cross-sectional morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and elemental analysis of corrosion products by energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). The stainless steel NSSER-4 showed good corrosion resistance within the metal temperature range of 500 °C to 630 °C. The alloy steel SA213-T11 had an acceptable corrosion resistance at metal temperatures up to 540 °C, and the performance decreased dramatically at higher temperatures.

Abstract (sommario):

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are major sources of natural resource consumption and environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, MSMEs make up a large part of the value chains of multinational and publicly traded companies, and thereforeoffer a unique point of entry to improve value chain environmental management practices while simultaneously promoting economic development in the region. In this vein, the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF), a member of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Group, aims to improve MSME competitiveness through increased efficiency of natural resource inputs, reduction of air and water pollution, gaining higher prices for products that are certified through reputable green certifications, and increasing MSME sales by strengthening their positioning within the value chains of large companies with sustainability commitments. To inform the MIF's strategic planning on how technical assistance can be best structured to improve the competitiveness of MSMEs in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region through the promotion of best practices in natural resource management and environmental impact reduction, a study was undertaken by Trucost. As part of this study, Trucost's patented environmental extended input-output (EEIO) model was used to identify five economic sectors in LAC that are associated with the highest environmental implications regarding inputs (natural resource use) and outputs (environmental impacts) from production processes, specifically relating to the sectors' value chains. For each of these sectors, three large companies were identified for a more focused analysis of their activities relating to the management of value chain environmental impacts. A case study was developed for one large company per sector to document these in detail. This document summarizes the key findings and lessons learned from the case studies, indicating value chain sectors that can be targeted to most efficiently reduce value chain environmental impacts, as well as ways in which this targeting can be done.

Abstract (sommario):

Haitians of all economic levels are interested in buying insurance products, increasingly so in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake of 2010. One traditional insurance company whose reputation was enhanced after honoring an unprecedented number of claims stemming from that earthquake has a strategic growth plan to expand services and products to the most vulnerable Haitians.Haitian-owned Alternative Insurance Company (AIC) is making insurance more accessible with a plan to expand affordable funeral and credit life insurance in the lower-income market and to create new micro- insurance products. Yet AIC's financial reserves were depleted after the earthquake and despite strong growth the company needed to close an equity gap. The Inter-American Bank's Opportunities for the Majority Initiative (OMJ) is a critical catalyst in the recapitalization of this market leader. OMJ is lending AIC $2 million in the form of subordinated debt as part of an overall $8 million recapitalization plan and has played a critical role in mobilizing investors from the US, Canada, Mexico and Haiti to invest in the private, Haitian-owned company.
