Establishing Green Chemistry In Ethiopia

They have helped to introduce Green Chemistry an emerging field of sustainable science that will help African nations to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Green Chemistry – a field in which The University of Nottingham is a world leader – focuses on greener ways of creating chemicals and is now regarded as one of the major routes to more environmentally-friendly production of the chemicals that underpin modern society. The work of Nottingham academics with their colleagues in Ethiopia detailed in the online version of the journal Science began with a chance meeting four years ago. Today it is sufficiently developed to enable African scientists to participate more fully in the search for new chemicals processes and techniques that could impact on millions of people. Much current research is focused on the search for renewable feedstocks and more environmentally acceptable solvents as replacements for petroleum-based products. This makes Green Chemistry particularly relevant to the needs of African countries such as Ethiopia faced with an increasing demand for chemicals little or no indigenous oil and rapidly expanding populations.

(STATES) –>CPYRIGHT 2007 Agra Informa Inc. California is “on a quest” to revamp its chemicals policy to better protect public health and the environment the state’s top environmental official told attendees of a green chemistry symposium held last week in Sacramento. California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal EPA) Secretary Linda Adams said the state is “looking to adopt a comprehensive science-based approach to green chemistry policy” that will allow it to transition away from managing toxic chemicals at the end of the lifecycle to reducing or eliminating their use altogether. Adams urged interested stakeholders to help state officials develop such a framework and announced the launch of a new information exchange–”Conversation with California”–intended to encourage public participation in the creation of a green chemistry blueprint for the state. Cal EPA is hosting a new Web site to receive comments on its green chemistry effort and will hold a series of.
