Resource Management

Technologies applicable to resource management, of both natural and anthropogenic origin, are categorised according to a classification partly based on the following literature and further modified and adapted to match this portal requirements: OECD, 1999 “The Environmental Goods and Services Industry: Manual for Data Collection and Analysis”; ECOTEC, 2002 “Analysis of the EU Eco-Industries, their Employment and Export Potential. A Final Report to DG Environment”; and Brink ten P., 2004 “Eco-industries: What are they? IEEP, presentation at Green Week, Brussels”. Only sectoral fields where ‘hard’ technologies are applicable (or currently being developed) are taken into account, i.e. waste, forestry/agriculture, water, energy. ‘Soft’ technologies such as nature protection, eco-tourism, and environmental management systems are dealt with under the Envirowindows portal.

	Energy Saving and Renewables Institutions, reports, projects, web sites and other relevant information related to all renewables, structured by main technology (hydrogen fuel cells, PV, others); the folder also contains a section dedicated to clean coal.
		Forestry and Agriculture Experiences and research programmes on the use of clean, energy saving and protective technologies in forestry and agriculture.
		Waste - recycling & processing Under this folder waste is not considered as a pollutant but as a resource to be managed and processed for further re-use.
		Water - Sustainable use The content focuses on technologies and programmes aimed at improving the efficiency of water use and re-use.
