许多研究传达了基于自然解决方案（NB）等潜力，例如森林和湿地，以改善空气和水的质量。但是，为了实际实现这些好处而没有污染热点，我们需要适应生态过程的间歇性。在这项工作中，我们表明，如果设计和操作发射活动是为了适应大自然进行排放能力的间歇性，则由此产生的动态技术协同系统可以使发射极有利，同时减少对社会的损害，并鼓励生态系统保护和保护生态系统保护和保护和生态系统保护和保护。恢复。这种解决方案还可以促进许多企业成为自然阳性的愿望：从其活动中对自然的好处超越了伤害。我们专注于使用森林生态系统基于自然的溶液的选择性催化减少的技术来缓解地面臭氧及其前体二氧化氮的前体氮。这些排放来自德克萨斯州弗里波特的叶绿性生产设施的发电。综合技术上的协同系统的设计和操作是为了满足每小时的空气质量限制，同时最大程度地减少了对当地社区的业务和健康影响的成本。当将森林NB的变异性纳入叶绿体过程的生产时间表中时，发现所得系统在经济和环境上比仅限技术的解决方案优越。传统的设计可以接触零净影响，但成本很高，而动态的技术生态协同设计可以对社会和生态系统产生净阳性影响，而对公司的额外成本很小。
Many studies are conveying the potential of nature-based solutions (NBS) like forests and wetlands to improve the quality of air and water. However, for practical realization of these benefits without the formation of pollution hotspots, we need to accommodate the intermittent nature of ecological processes. In this work, we show that if emitting activities are designed and operated to adapt to the intermittency of nature's ability to take up emissions, the resulting dynamic technoecological synergistic system can be profitable to the emitter while simultaneously reducing damage to society and encouraging ecosystem protection and restoration. Such solutions can also contribute to the desire of many businesses to become nature-positive: the benefits to nature from their activities exceed the harm. We focus on the mitigation of ground-level ozone and its precursor nitrogen dioxide using the technology of selective catalytic reduction with the nature-based solution of a forest ecosystem. These emissions are from electricity generation for a chloralkali production facility located in Freeport, Texas. The integrated technoecologically synergistic system is designed and operated to satisfy hourly air quality constraints while minimizing cost to the business and health impacts on the local community. When the variability of the forest NBS is incorporated in the production schedule of the chloralkali process, the resulting system is found to be economically and environmentally superior to a conventional technology-only solution. A conventional design can approach net-zero impact but at a high cost, while a dynamic technoecological synergistic design can have a net-positive impact on society and ecosystems, with a small additional cost to the company.
