The combustion of fossil fuels leads to an overabundance of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which in turn gives rise to significant global climate and environmental issues. Consequently, a growing focus has been on carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology worldwide1. Using liquid amines for CO...
“A step change in the sector’s energy consumption and GHG emissions would require the development of ‘game changer’ technologies, such as sustainable biomass feedstocks and hydrogen from renewable energy sources which have not yet reached commercial maturity.” (IEA, 2013) With this ...
Based on the supply chain solutions in Section 3 and 5 and models established in Section 4, carbon emissions of the focal solution and the traditional supply chain designs are calculated in Section 6 with detailed analysis. Finally, conclusions are presented in Section 7, along with an ...
The cement industry is responsible for approximately 7% of anthropogenic CO2equivalent (CO2e) emissions1,2with the highest carbon intensity of any industry per unit of revenue3. To combat climate change, the countries gathered in the Conference of Parties signed the Paris climate agreement in 2015,...
It finds that the increased top tax rates would still be in line with those of other European OECD countries. Using recent and new research on income elasticities of CO2 emissions, it then estimates the net direct effects on CO2 emissions of this redistribution. For both scenarios the most ...
because CO2emissions cannot be avoided in the production process. Heidelberg Materials UK has committed to reaching net zero carbon by 2050 and will be deploying our proprietary carbon capture technology, the Advanced KM CDR Process™ to tackle this challenge - leading the way in the UK's cemen...
In the climate change debate, it appears to be agreed by everyone that excess CO2 will at least have the direct benefit of increasing photosynthesis, and subsequently growth rate and yield, in virtually any plant species: A common remark is that in
Using these two factoids, we can do the multiplication and determine that a year's worth of auto CO2 emissions would weigh-in at approximately 1,282,500,000 tonnes. That's a lot (1.3 billion tonnes 'a lot'). But would it affect global warming if the U.S. were to ban all passenger...
Moreover, the life-cycle emissions are characterized relative to the vehicle curb weight and the peak motor power. Within the scope of this paper, the aspect of any kind of second-life battery utilization has not been taken into account. 2. Modeling of estimated life-cycle CO2-equivalent ...
First, we make a first-of-its-kind effort to shed light on the connections between technical progress, agricultural output, forest area, and carbon dioxide emissions in Vietnam. Second, the stationarity test and cointegration analysis were applied to verify the findings. Finally, the outcomes of...
