AbstractThis research analyses the Basel Convention and India’s waste management systems, highlighting important shortcomings and offering recommendations for enhancement. It takes a look at India’s waste management methods. Waste segregation, incorporating informal workers, and reducing waste are all crucial, as seen by the success of measures in Mysuru, Delhi, Pune, and Sikkim. Recycling, waste-to-energy conversion, and sound policy are highlighted by examples from San Francisco, Germany, Japan, and Sweden. The research provides suggestions for India and possible changes to the Basel Convention to facilitate environmentally friendly, economically viable, and socially equitable waste management.

AbstractThe article deals with the notion and scope of the concept of green economy widely discussed in legal science. The authors substantiate its relationship with the concept of sustainable development and identify the distinctive features of its implementation at the national level. With respect to Russian conditions, they prove the following main areas of building a green economy: waste management; construction, transport, industry; renewable energy sources; agriculture; use and protection of natural resources. The authors suggest the concept of guarantees of building a green economy, which is a list of conditions for its implementation and protection means, and substantiate three of these conditions (with respect to Russia): environmental digitalization; development of environmental entrepreneurship; preparation of the doctrinal (and in theory regulatorily approved) Concept of Russia’s Transition to a Green Economy, which should define the goals and objectives of this transition, criteria and indicators of the achievement of the goals of a green economy, stages of the transition, budgetary and other financing sources and amounts as well as a list of laws and bylaws ensuring this transition.

Abstract This article explores how 45Q in the U.S. tax code incentivized carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCS, or CCUS) before President Biden signed the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) into law. That legislation increased dollar values, added direct pay, and otherwise enhanced 45Q. The article first explains CCS mechanics and then explores 45Q’s history. Next, it lays out which industries (oil, gas, ethanol, etc.) have claimed the credit, and in what contexts (enhanced oil recovery, saline storage, etc.). Finally, it details updates the IRA adopted and weighs proposals to improve regulatory transparency in environmental monitoring, reporting, and verification.

Abstract The biproducts of different industries must be reused or recycled which will avoid disposal of waste materials in the environment in different forms to protect our environment. Also the hazardous material used for the manufacturing of the products to be eliminated or minimized. In this paper a study has been conducted for optimum use of fly ash generated from power plants and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) generated from steel plants in the manufacturing of fiber cemented roofing sheets. Also different percentages of fly ash, GGBS and pulp were added during the manufacturing of fiber cement roofing sheets in a fiber cement roofing sheet manufacturing plant and the quality of the final product has been tested subsequently in the laboratory to minimize the use of cement and asbestos fiber. Different results have been achieved in different percentages of fly ash, cement, GGBS, wood pulp and asbestos fiber combination. It is found that up to 36% addition of fly ash is acceptable with respect to the quality acceptance criteria of the final product, above 36% degrades the quality of the product which doesn’t meet the BIS: 459 standard requirements. Similarly, 10.38% of GGBS can be added without hampering the quality of the product. Finally, the best combination of raw mix design as per environmental sustainability point of view as well as the economic point of view has been suggested for the sustainable manufacturing of fiber cement roofing sheets.
