The shadow price of substitutable sulphur in the US electric power plant: A distance function approach

Article Abstract:

Restrictions are placed on sulphur dioxide emissions hence plants might choose strategies that involve either an investment in improving boiler fuel efficiency or shift to an effective production process to remove sulphur dioxide, and to allow for such substitution the shadow price of sulphur dioxide is measured as the opportunity cost of reducing sulphur emissions in terms of forgone capital. The indirect Morishima elasticities of substitution indicate that the substitutability of capital for sulphur is relatively high.

Simulation of cooling-water discharges from power plants

Article Abstract:

The article tests the validity of a model depicting the environmental impacts of releasing cooling water from power plants into lakes, using Flint Creek Lake in Arkansas as an example. The model incorporates three-dimensional temperature and hydrodynamic models, and tracked the effectiveness of a curtain wall used to improve intake temperatures.

Estimation of water pollution sources in Lake Victoria, East Africa: application and elaboration of the rapid assessment methodology

Article Abstract:

An investigation of pollution sources and their contribution to the changes arising in Lake Victoria, East Africa, is presented. Domestic pollution, rather than industrial pollution, is the main source of biological oxygen demand loads.
