- 17. Engineering a sustainable future integration: Integrate each of the Triple Bottom Line elements (Economy, Environment, Community), to understand what will make for a successful project. adaptation: Sustainability is about changing and evolving to promote overall wellbeing, not to sustain the status quo. Designing a project to fit in with local social, economic and environmental characteristics both today and tomorrow. innovation: It’s the key to moving forward. As project understand, plan, design and adapt to local characteristic (present and future), innovation tends to occur (clever solutions that address multiple criteria or adaptation challenges- can be technological or part of the way that the project was run) – this is the value adding part.

Notes de l'éditeur
- William Barclay Parsons, a well known engineer, opened a Manhattan office in 1885, First undertaking of his new venture was to design NewYork City's first subway, the IRT. Completed in 1904, this line from lower Manhattan to Harlem—remains the world's most heavily used rapid transit system. Global reach; Parsons' second major project was to chart a 1,000-mile railroad in China, from Hankow to Canton - still in use today. In 1906, Henry M. Brinckerhoff, pioneering highway engineer, brought expertise in electric railways. Known for his co-invention of the third rail, which revolutionized rapid transit, he also designed the network of roads at the 1939 World's Fair in New York. Sustainability always at the forefront of PB’s culture – ref Parsons quote - this ethos is very much at the heart of PB today 1. 2.

- So what is sustainability all about? The commission's report highlighted A number of organisations have changed this definition to profit, planet and people or the three Ps. Ecosystem-like-design The most basic definition of sustainability is along the lines of the original Brundtland report definition. It’s been around for a while now, but it is as robust as any other definition I’ve come across…
- Sustainability is a long term goal of using resources in a way that enable future generation to use it in the same way
- Another way of saying this is Sustainable Development A continued policy of PB that is in synch with current trends
- How those elements have been captured in PB culture Vision is the overaction statement Currently interpretation of sustainability 1.
- Proposal portal between the legal documentation and company policies. So what is sustainability all about? Recognising the integration of economic social and environmental factors Adaptation More than flexibility, is anticipation, looking for consequences not just reaction Look to problems in a different way (anticipation and change as Parsons said) innovation and best practice Environmental, social and economic elements are all important… … and their integration and synergies created… … are the key to understanding sustainability. … you can’t just do any one element and call that “sustainability” - … fundamentally there needs to be balance of all three elements.. For centuries we have operated on the same simple paradigm – that we live in a world of limitless resources and limitless capacity … Over the last century these operating rules have been in the hands of the economists…and their mantra has been.. … that an expanding economy equals world health! As we are now realising - it just ain’t so… Our one planet has limits - and we have to learn to live within our means… The most basic definition of sustainability is along the lines of the original Brundtland report definition. It’s been around for a while now, but it is as robust as any other definition I’ve come across…

- Delta has articulated a conceptual goal of 10% reduction in Wallerawang’s CO2 emissions intensity, while maintaining current generation levels, to be achieved through partial substitution of coal by biomass combustion for heat input into the power generation cycle. Delta’s experience to date with biomass cofiring, in the order of 1% heat input, is outlined Biomass in the form of sawmill waste (coarse sawdust) procured from the timber processing complex at nearby Oberon, NSW, is currently stored on site adjacent to the undercover coal storage area. Biomass is trucked to site and stored at a pit where it is fed from a small conveyor where it is delivered to the main coal conveyor and mixed with the coal for delivery to the coal mills. Currently, Wallerawang Power Station uses biomass material for cofiring in small quantities with pulverised coal in the existing coal boilers. Biomass cofiring has been used with varying success up to 2% of energy content, however, reasonably stable cofiring is ongoing with a mix of 1% biomass by energy input, as advised by Delta. The existing pulverising mill currently experiences operational problems caused by the addition of biomass material into the fuel mix. The ‘soft and moist’ nature of the biomass material in some circumstances causes a soft layer build up on the pulveriser mill roller surfaces. This creates clearance problems between grinding surfaces as biomass sticks to rollers which impacts on the ability of the mill to pulverise the coal. These problems occur due to the mill operating on a fuel type for which it was not designed. The construction of a new dedicated biomass boiler would eliminate this problem and result in the pulverising mill only crushing black coal for which it was designed. Observation of the biomass storage area and discussion with Delta Electricity staff identified the following points: The existing biomass storage area is sized for fuel needs of the pilot project only The current biomass storage facility is exposed to wind and weather and results in the dispersion of the relatively lightweight biomass material around the site.
