SAVING ENERGY -- A large oil refinery wants to know:  How can I determine the overall greenhouse gas impact of process changes and qualify for greenhouse gas credits?  How can I measure and verify that these reductions resulted from the process changes once they are put in place?

INTELLIGENCE -- A chemical manufacturer wants to know:  How do my air toxics emissions compare to my competitors in a per unit of production basis?

TECHNOLOGY EVALUATION -- A large multinational technology corporation wants to know:  What is the potential for these technologies to reduce my overall greenhouse gas emissions?

MEETING CLIMATE GOALS -- A large electricity producer in China wants to know:  Does imported LNG have fewer greenhouse emissions than domestic coal  when the entire supply chain is considered?  What if LNG infrastructure construction emissions are included?

SAVING MONEY -- A manufacturer of personal care products wants to know:  How can I reduce my sewer fees?  

MAKING WORKERS SAFE -- A custom design manufacturing company wants to know:  How can our worker safety facility auditors more easily identify the materials and processes that are most critical to worker safety?  How can we rate potential substitute materials?

BUILDING TRUST -- A hydrogen fluoride producer wants to know: How can relations with my neighbors be improved so that the neighbors agree to participate in the facility’s emergency preparedness exercises?

PROTECTING THE PUBLIC -- An air regulator wants to know:  What are the mechanisms for emissions from heated tanks and other process equipment?  What can we expect from the emission estimation procedures, in terms of accuracy?  

MEETING CLIMATE GOALS -- The DoD wants to know:  How can we better understand the  coal and biomass to liquids part of the process under different configurations so that we can estimate the life-cycle climate change potential of jet fuels produced from gasified biomass and coal (using the Fischer-Tropsch process) relative to jet fuel produced at conventional refineries?

WEIGHING OPTIONS -- A nonprofit environmental advocacy group wants to know:  How are air toxic emissions impacted when process changes intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are implemented?

SHAPING POLICY -- A nonprofit research institute wants to know:  What are the copper releases to air, water, and soil in this watershed?  How can a series of laboratory, environmental monitoring, and environmental modeling studies be coordinated in order to determine whether brake pads contribute significantly to copper concentrations in surface waters in the watershed?
