CO2concentration as a temperature proxy When we make predictions with hypothetical future CO2 emissions, we do not know the future temperatures. Without diving into the problematic discussion about the degree, how strong the influence of CO2 concentration is on temperature , we assume the “worst ca...
The results suggest that nuclear energy is a sustainable alternative to historical fossil fuel as it curbs CO2 emissions in the lower, middle, and upper quantiles. Furthermore, our findings corroborate that ICT penetration through the internet, mobile and telephone plays a vital role in improving ...
This historical view might help to anticipate the complexity expected for the next 30 years up to 2050, when also electricity has to be generated carbon-free. Figure 9 summarises the temporal development of world electricity parameters related to the question of this paper. The average total CO2...
6/2/2013 - Thank goodness carbon dioxide levels are finally rising ever so slightly in our atmosphere, bringing much-needed carbon dioxide to the plants and forests of the world which have been starving for CO2. The lack of CO2 in the atmosphere is one of the most devastating limiting ...
Fig. 14. Spanish clinker production projections until 2050; historical data from Oficemen [34]. 5.1. Suitable solar cement plant locations All Spanish cement plants, their locations and clinker production capacities can be found in the yearbook of the Spanish Cement Association [34]. This data ...
Moreover, the global warming caused by fossil fuel use may exacerbate the economic inequality related to historical differences in energy consumption. In addition to the benefit of increased energy access, low-carbon energy can also provide substantial secondary development b enefits2. As such, ...
We assess these questions using multiple scenarios that explore uncertainty in the progression of both demand- and supply-side conditions that affect building energy use and CO2emissions. For electric power supply, we consider two levels: one corresponding to the AEO reference case (“RB”), and ...
Fagan certainly writes that it seemed to be MUCH warmer, at least in Europe where there are historical records. Was the Little Ice Age of the mid-1800\'s the \"optimum\"? I am TOLD that the Artic Ice loss is unprecedented. Then I read this historical account below? http://no...
Historical plant information, such as details on location and capacity, are cited from James King.30 Future crude-steel demand and information (location, capacity, etc.) on each plant until 2060 are summarized based on our previous research and estimated based on regional disparities in parameters...
chart. Thus, while it would take tens of thousands of years to get back down to the historical level of ~280ppmfrom where we are now there is still a lot to be gained from limiting emissions as quickly as possible... because that could allow us to drop back down to 350ppmor lower ...
