However, we must be aware of the unintended socio-economic consequences that may arise from carbon reduction, despite its significant benefits. Compared to the carbon emission restriction strategy, the implementation of the carbon tax results in higher total economic costs. For example, the economy ...
If you are unfamiliar with carbon offsetting, a carbon offset is a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases made in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere. So for each tonne of carbon, the offset will help capture or destroy one ton of greenhouse gases that...
Besides the above literature that only focused on carbon emission, many studies that evaluating environmental performances of IS also involved carbon emission reduction. For example, the steam and heat cogeneration at the Asnas power plant in Kalundborg was proved to significantly reduce CO2 emission ...
ZHANG Yue: First, we should give priority to sustained carbon reduction. For example, at present, the service life of new energy vehicles (NEVs) lasts only eight to 10 years, meaning that NEV-induced carbon reductionis only of a transitory nature without causing long-term effects, so NEVs a...
Third, due to the great political relevance of the CL problem, it is highly advisable to include in the studies dealing with this topic a brief description of their policy implications. This could be done, for example, in an additional section designed specifically for policymakers and their adv...
However, we find that the policy effectiveness under the MA and CT scenario is rather limited on carbon emission intensity reduction, i.e., the policy effectiveness of Market access is expected to reduce in August 2027 and that of Carbon tax is expected to be effective until July 2024. ...
(CI) reduction on the carbon peak and the corresponding mitigation implications. Using a unique dataset at different levels, we project China’s CO2emission by 2035 and analyze the time, volume, driver patterns, complex emission network, and policy implications of China’s carbon peak in the ...
This finding provides policy implications for countries that aim to achieve carbon reduction targets through the INDCs approach. For example, reducing energy consumption per capita by improving energy efficiency can suppress excessive carbon emissions. Besides, vigorously promote renewable energy to further...
The simulation results in “Discussion: how the network structure influences the effectiveness of a carbon emission policy intervention” imply that, although the real effectiveness of a carbon reduction policy intervention is largely determined by the network topological structure among the decision entitie...
Cogs in the emissions reduction wheel Carbon markets are evolving rapidly. In addition to new standards and expanding financial infrastructure, technology is supporting market transparency. For example, satellite imaging and remote sensing technologies can collect on-the-ground data that enables verification...
