USE OF ENTROPIC METHODS FOR STAGES OF ASSESSMENT OF BEST AVAILABLE TECHNIQUES
Sustainable development is a major contemporary issue and technical innovation is one of the main solutions. New green technologies have positive externalities in the form of improved environmental quality and environmental regulatory methods should stimulate the development of such innovative environmental technologies. Effective modern methods of regulation are based on the application of the best available techniques. The best available techniques concept is a tool for preventing industrial pollution and setting conditions for environmental permits for industrial enterprises. However, numerous complex problems arise in best available techniques selection. At the same time, the use of formal information-mathematical tools provides an objective basis for decision-making. The present work suggests an information entropy approach for some stages of the assessment of the best available techniques.
