To support the neutrality target, both decreasing carbon emissions and increasing the capacity of carbon sinks are vital.Power and industries are anticipated to substantially ramp up renewable energies (e.g., wind, solar, etc.), and carbon sinks will increase throughout the next few decades. A ...
In 2019, China's CO2 emissions occupied a share of more than one-quarter of the total global CO2 emission figure [3]. Besides, China has conventionally relied on fossil fuels to meet the domestic energy demand; consequently, such monotonic reliance on unclean fuels has contributed to the ...
Some semiconductor companies are already launching initiatives to reduce Scope 3 upstream emissions, and they could emerge as early leaders. Now it’s time for others to follow their example.Martin Burkardt is a consultant in McKinsey’s Denver office; Felix Dietrich is a consultant in the Berli...
post-treatment, moisture is the main factor for occurrence of the regrowth. Therefore, high efficiency of incineration is due to the fact that the dry temperatures reduce the moisture content in the clinical wastes and destruct it to become ash. Thus, the wastes become unsuitable for microorganism...
The carbon emissions trading system (CETS) is a helpful policy instrument for separating carbon emissions from economic expansion, and it significantly impacts energy efficiency (EE). This study uses 30 Chinese provinces from 2007 to 2020 as its research samples, and classifies energy efficiency into...
立足我国能源资源禀赋,坚持先立后破,有计划分步骤实施碳达峰行动。完善能源消耗总量和强度调控,重点控制化石能源消费,逐步转向碳排放总量和强度“双控”制度。推动能源清洁低碳高效利用,推进工业、建筑、交通等领域清洁低碳转型。Based on China’s energy and resource endowment, we will advance initiatives to reach ...
Reducing firm-level emissions but not decreasing the firm’s productivity is fundamental. In academia, research has tended to focus on CO2 as this GHG caused by human of total GHG emissions worldwide and is a primary driver of climate change5,6. Policies, therefore, have long focused on ...
Initiatives such as the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment, which launched at the Global Climate Action Summit in 2018, 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 ...
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 ...
carbon emissions are projected to decrease by an impressive 56%, decreasing from 37 to 17 million tons. There is a discernible shift in economic contributions when examining this transition from an industry perspective. The original structure, predominantly SLI-dominated with a contribution of 76.32%...
