“…(Repenning & Sterman, 2001) Some of these challenges are due to diminishing raw materials and resources, stricter regulations, new products' requirements, issues on sustainability, and competing process technologies. (Kemp & Soete, 1992) These challenges cannot be solved by using the old methods of simply trial and error. Considering their high risks and problem complexities, companies have been trying to put together systematic way of solving problems.…”

Process route evaluation is a part of research and development (R&D) works in an industrial chemical project life cycle. In this early phase, good process evaluation, including process synthesis and designs, provide guidance's on the R&D project. The paper aimed to collect practical methods used in this early phase process route evaluation from author's 10 years of industrial experiences. The collected methods range from forward-backward process synthesis, functional process design, use of cost estimation, and applications of Monte Carlo simulation. Led by a good project management (e.g. via a stage-gate approach) use of these methods have shown beneficial results. Some important results are strong arguments on whether or not the project will continue, as well as relevant technical and economic issues identified during this early phase process synthesis and design. Later on, these issues become guidance's to the follow-up project, if it is continued.

“…No caso das tecnologias limpas, geralmente, o desenvolvimento de uma inovação para o próprio uso da firma não é lucrativo devido aos grandes custos envolvidos como, por exemplo, instalações de equipamentos redutores de poluição e gerenciamento de resíduos SOETE, 1992). Para investigar e entender a natureza complexa das relações simultâneas dos países e sua dinâmica com as inovações e suas capacidades ambientais, a seguir, são apresentados a metodologia e a base de dados utilizada para a aplicação da técnica de análise comparativo-qualitativa (fsQCA).…”

Resumo: O objetivo principal do trabalho é investigar a influência e captar as interações específicas relacionadas ao meio ambiente e à tecnologia dos países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento que compõem a amostra do presente artigo, nos anos de 1990, 2000 e 2010. A base de dados consiste na utilização de fatores relacionados à atividade inovativa ambiental, ao grau de desenvolvimento econômico, as condições de infraestrutura, capacidade de produção de energia alternativa, nível de emissão de gases CO2 e a capacidade científica das nações. A metodologia aplicada aborda um método pouco explorado na literatura sobre inovação e meio ambiente, a técnica de Análise Qualitativa Comparativa (QCA). Ao aplicar a técnica, para cada ano, os resultados fornecem uma análise de eventuais mudanças nas configurações específicas de cada país nesse intervalo temporal. Os resultados revelaram que as configurações que fomentam e favorecem a inovação ambiental são representadas por boas condições de capacidade ambiental, científica e econômica. Palavras Chave: Análise Qualitativa Comparativa (QCA); Indicadores Tecnológicos e Ambientais; Capacidade Ambiental dos PaísesAbstract: The aim of the present work is to assess and capture the specific interactions related to the environment and technology of developed and developing countries, in 1990, 2000 and 2010. The database used factors related to environmental innovation activity, degree of economic development, conditions of infrastructure, alternative energy production capacity, gas emission level and scientific ability of the economies. The methodology covers a method unexplored in literature about innovation, qualitative and comparative analysis (QCA). Applying the technique for each year, the results provide a static analysis of possible changes in specific configurations of each country in this time interval. The results indicates that the settings that lead to environmental innovation activity are represented by good conditions for scientific, technological and economic capacity.
