Question

Discuss the roles played by green procurement in mitigating environmental impact especially in oil and gas companies

Answer 1

Green procurement refers to the process using eco-friendly raw material in manufacturing a finished product so that it has no effect on environment. Green procurement is taking initiate to treat gas released from factories. Green procurement has purchased technologies like gas filtration tanks which helps in purifying the gas before releasing it into the air. These filtration tanks consist of chemicals which excretes the harmful substance and make it settle down in the tanks, so at the upper part of the tank purified gas is there which afterwards get released into the air. By this it is saving environment as well human lives.

Oil spills usually happens all the time which adversely affects the aquatic life and also leads to water pollution. So, skimmers which is propylene mop-like pads is laid by the green procurement team on the surface of the ocean so that during oil spill, oil can get absorbed and does not affect aquatic life.

Spraying dispersants which basically lowers the effect of oil spills can be injected into the ocean on the water surface through airplanes so that it may not pollutes the water surface too much and saves the aquatic life as well.
