Regulations
Business Context
Increasing production generally improves asset utilization and business
performance. Higher production levels may also increase atmospheric
emissions, wastewater generation, energy consumption, and environmental
loading unless processes are redesigned.
The Contradiction
Higher production improves commercial performance.
Lower emissions improve environmental performance.
Why It Exists
Many industrial processes generate emissions that increase
proportionally with production unless supported by cleaner technologies
or improved process efficiency.
Direction
Increase production through energy-efficient technologies, cleaner
process design, Advanced Process Control, and emission reduction
technologies rather than simply increasing throughput.
