The internal combustion engine (ICE) does not efficiently convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. A majority of this energy is dissipated as heat in the exhaust and coolant.
Studies of waste-to-energy systems have applied a varying range of indicators to assess their sustainability.
Effective implementation of rules on reduced emission from avoided deforestation and forest degradation (REDD.
