THE release of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels is, conceivably, the most important environmental issue in the world today. Whatever direction global energy policies take in the future, it is indisputable that carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere will ...
Recent evidence shows that carbon emissions in China are likely to peak ahead of 2030. However, the social and economic impacts of such an early carbon peak have rarely been assessed. Here we focus on the economic costs and health benefits of different carbon mitigation pathways, considering both...
Introduction of carbon dioxide gas to a DIP containing system is an alternative way to perform the acidification and at the same time affect the calcium carbonate chemistry. The possible reduction of the calcium ion content at pseudo neutral pH's provides an opportunity to implement new strategies...
Climate change:According to themost recent EPA data, the recycling and composting of municipal solid waste (MSW or trash) saved over 193 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2018. 气候变化:根据美国环保署的最新数据,2018年,城市固体废物(MSW或垃圾)的回收和堆肥节省了超过1.93亿吨二氧化碳...
Permeability of co-extruded linear low-density polyethylene films to oxygen and carbon dioxide as determined by electrochemical techniques The mechanical relaxation spectra of co-extruded linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) films, prepared from copolymers of ethylene and 1-octene, were mea...

8."Plants were supposed to grow larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,but changes in temperature,humidity and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide,"said researchers from the National University of Singapore. ...
THE CO-BENEFITS OF CLIMATE POLICY: EVIDENCE FROM THE EU EMISSIONS TRADING SCHEME Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are known to cause global climate change but no damage to the local environment. However, because CO2 is often jointly produced with other substances that pollute the environment, CO2 ...
With the introduction of the C tax, there would be a need for additional hydropower capacity of 945MW by 2050 as compared to the capacity in the base case. The emission of local pollutants consisting of sulphur dioxide (SO), nitrogen oxides (NO) and non-methane volatile organic compound (...
Accelerating carbon dioxide (CO) emissions reductions, including as a substitute for negative emissions, hence reduces long-term risks but requires dramatic near-term societal transformations. A major barrier to emissions reductions is the difficulty of reconciling immediate, localized costs with global, ...
