Methods: For this analysis, national fair shares of a safe global carbon budget consistent with the planetary boundary of 350 ppm were derived. These fair shares were then subtracted from countries' actual historical emissions (territorial emissions from 1850 to 1969, and consumption-based emissions ...

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has the mandate to safeguard the use of uranium, plutonium and thorium worldwide, as nuclear fuel for civil uses, avoiding their diversion use in weapons of mass destruction or explosive devices. Terrorist and proliferation activists are employing more ...
The disappearance of animals from otherwise intact habitats is known asdefaunation, and it is leading to a growing number ofempty forestsnot just in tropical countries, but around the world. The UK has already lost most of its largest species (think lynx, wolf, and wisent), while woodland bi...
As one of the most widely used energy sources, coal has been known as “black gold” and “industrial food” for a long time. Although the global environmental degradation made the demand to reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion more and more urgent, coal still takes up a prominen...

The results of the analysis yielded improved atomic (Cl, Si, Fe, Mg, Al, Ca, Na, and K) and molecular (CN and C2) emissions from the argon gas stream and improved molecular carbon emissions (CN and C2) from the N2 gas stream. The flow rate of any gas except argon does not ...
The elemental concentrations of each coal sample are shown in Table 1. The method that is widely practiced to evaluate the higher heating value (HHV) of coal, which is known as the calorific value, is by using Dulong’s equation. Dulong’s equation uses the weight fractions of carbon, hydr...
Of particular current interest are those elements such as Li, Co, Ni, Cu, and the rare earth elements (REEs) that are necessary for the deployment of new green technologies that are necessary for the transition to a sustainable decarbonized future [2]. This situation has created an ...
