The Joint Environment Programme can help you combat pollution. The programme looks at national and international legislative and regulatory initiatives. This ensures the body is well placed to constructively contribute to national and European debates. Indeed, a major aim is to ensure that industry and regulators can discuss potential regulatory initiatives with a shared understanding of the practicalities, implications and costs. - Author(s): D.

Over the past few years, pollution legislation has placed tighter and tighter demands on the way operators produce power. In 1996 we saw the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive. Enforced by the European Commission this includes measures to prevent or reduce emissions in the air, water and land. The year 2000 saw the UK's Environment Agency launching the Pollution Prevent and Control (PPC) regulations. These were created to implement the IPPC directive across the UK, and replaced existing Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) regulations The main thrust of these regulations is to move operators towards greater environmental sustainability and the deadline is March 2006. By this time, operators of existing combustion plants with a rated thermal input of 50MWth or more, as well as some waste-fired plants of at least 3MWth, have to apply for the PPC licence. - Author(s): G.

The hydropower industry is looking to take a role in tackling climate change. The technology has no operational carbon emissions, and is seen by many as key to achieving a low carbon future. Doing this in increasingly liberalised markets will be a challenge given the massive up-front costs of dam construction. However, recent initiatives to promote renewable generation twinned with future developments in carbon taxation and emissions trading, look set to improve the competitive position of hydropower. But climate change also brings some bad news for hydropower. - Author(s): B. Richardson and P. Jones

DC/DC converters will be crucial to downsizing portable electronics products. This is because new developments in step-down converters will allow power designers to reduce the size of the power management block in these devices. Indeed the converters of tomorrow will be able to work with lower inductances and smaller capacitors, and operate at high efficiencies under both heavy and light loads. - Author(s): T. Takahashi
