This can be called the benchmark of equity and global solidarity. The inequity in carbon dioxide emissions, as it currently stands, is represented by the fact that one US citizen emitted in 1996 as much as 17 Maldivians, 19 Indians, 30 Pakistanis, 49 Sri Lankans, ...
(Watts x seconds + newtons) is equivalent to: How many galaxies are there in the universe? How many (a) megajoules in 1 exajoule, (b) petagrams in 1 gigatonne ( 1tonne = 1000kg) (c) kilowatt-hours in 1 gigawatt-hour? A 4.5 Kw electric motor is 90% efficient.How much energy it...
Tonne of Oil Equivalent.Another standard energy value, based on the amount of energy released by burning one tonne of crude oil. The very similar "tonne of coal equivalent" is the amount of energy released by burning one tonne of coal. Tons of Cold Ton of Refrigeration.This is a measure ...
This study presents the results of a detailed life cycle analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with carbon dioxide-enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) where the CO2 is sourced from a coal-fired power plant. This work builds upon previous investigations and integrates new information to...
When new renewable power projects have much lower running costs than existing facilities (mainly due to fuel costs), the latter may be closed or phased out, becoming stranded assets. This speeds up the coal power phase-out and leads to steeper emissions cuts. ...
Magnetite is a tiny part of our iron ore exports � but that could change. Australia has vast reserves of magnetite ore, which previously hasn�t been in as much demand. But these ore bodies will become valuable under the right economic conditions. ...
(or pessimistic, depending on the point of view) forecasts were made. A good example is the case of nickel much discussed during my time at Metallgesellschaft AG, because we were pursuing the nickel laterite project Barro Alto in Brazil (Wellmer2008b). The journal E/MJ used to publish ...
UK food prices could see an almost immediate hike as Ukraine and Russia export much of the world's grain - and most of their ports have been shut down. Russia, the world's largest wheat exporter, has put all ships on "stop" in the Azov Sea, wher...
1. Cargo density The density of the cargo is very much affecting the load, if it is pulling stone or coal, although the volume is the same, but the weight is really different, this is mainly because of the density of the impact. ...
Let us for an instance try and reflect on how much pollution is acceptable and how to evaluate efforts to environmental sustainability: How much CO2 emission is acceptable, how many square miles of new forests would be needed if we kept emissions too high,6 how many cases of skin cancer mig...
