But there are signs that China’s carbon-dioxide emissions are now decreasing. Over the 12-month period which ended in March, emissions were 1% lower than the preceding 12 months, according to analysis published on May 15th by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), a thin...
While grocers’ direct contribution to these emissions is relatively low, the grocery sector has a unique opportunity to become the driving force for decarbonization of the entire food system (see sidebar “Building a sustainable food system”). Moreover, decarbonization presents an ...
Tier 1 suppliers might be best positioned to encourage Tier 2 suppliers to reduce emissions, since their relationship as end customers may give them more leverage. While it may seem difficult for suppliers to cooperate along the value chain, examples of past collaborations exist. For instance, ...
Based on the synchronous variations of both development and emissions, we hypothesize that some intrinsic links between cities and their carbon footprints could exist. Along with a decreasing increase in carbon emissions, some nations have almost finished urbanizing in the last few decades. With this...
(3-cap), resulting in a 90% emission reduction compared to hydrogen from SMR. Tightening the emission cap from 3-cap to 1-cap is associated with an average LCOH increment of 4%, facilitating a further 6% reduction in emissions. When the cap is further tightened, decreasing from 1- to ...
promote the global reduction of operational carbon through calls to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions released on an annual basis to zero or negative [1]. Other initiatives, such as the U.S.’s Carbon Leadership Forum, emphasize the importance of decreasing embodied carbon as well...
It is important to understand that no policy framework is absolute or all-encompassing, and ETSs are not an exception. Notably, our study investigated the impact of ETSs on the relationship between economic development and carbon emissions, and we believe that the ETS framework can cater to bot...
From the numerical results of the five examples, the importance of carbon investment has been identified, i.e., it can be seen that gross profit has increased despite being invested in reducing carbon emissions. The total profit obtained through Example 7.1 (With carbon emission reduction) is $...
By 2050, the goal of the EU is to produce net zero-carbon emissions.2 However, the actual process of decarbonization depends on the unique economic and social contexts of each EU country. The Hungarian parliament recently passed a law declaring carbon neutrality a legally binding obligation3 ...
The storage of CO2 and hydrogen within depleted gas and oil reservoirs holds immense potential for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and advancing renewable energy initiatives. However, achieving effective storage necessitates a thorough comprehension of the dynamic interplay between interfacial tension and...
