62 Irish businesses have pledged to start reducing their carbon footprint by signing the Low Carbon Pledge initiative14. You’ll find guidance and calculation tools on theGreenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG) website.
Pharmaceutical waste continues to be a huge problem. To eliminate non-biodegradable and single-use plastics from the supply chain, more research is taking place around bio-based PET. It's made from ethylene derived from sugarcane which has a negative carbon footprint, using CO2 and releasing oxy...
How Low-Carbon Heat Requirements for Direct Air Capture of CO2 Can Enable the Expansion of Firm Low-Carbon Electricity Generation Resourcesdoi:10.3389/fclim.2021.728719Daniel SlesinskiScott Litzelman
Electric motor: The electric motors on hybrid cars are very sophisticated. Advanced electronics allow it to act as a motor as well as a generator. For example, when it needs to, it can draw energy from the batteries to accelerate the car. But acting as a generator, it can slow the car...
In the updated model, pollution has been modeled as CO2 levels. This is different from the mix of pollutants used in the original model. The peak comes around 2090. [6] Intuitively, the order of forecast changes for the world economy, shown in Figure 8, seems right to me. Figure 8 ind...
If you’re using a hand pump, here’s the lowdown on efficient inflation: Hand Placement: Hold the pump head tightly on the valve with one hand while using the other to pump. Ensure a steady grip for optimal air transfer. Stability Matters: Keep your bike steady – you don’t want ...
For example, tropicalfreshwater tetra fishare found in waters with low pH whileAfrican cichlidsneedhigh pH. But what is pH and why are pH levels so important in the aquarium setting? Measuring pH In order to understand why pH is so important, it’s necessary to understand how it is measure...
The logistics and transport sector now contributes just over a third of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions3– a share that’s forecast to grow. But there are steps your business can take to help reduce the impact: Optimize space.Pack your products smartly into correctly-sized boxes – ...
and labor supply are regarded as mediating factors. On the other hand, we extend the study at the national level to the level of regions with high, medium, and low levels of aging. The exploration of heterogeneity in stages has practical effects for comprehensively measuring the carbon trajector...
This allowed facilities that were able to reduce emissions at low cost (or which had invested in equipment that allowed them to exceed their targets) to sell offsets to those for whom meeting their targets would be expensive. It therefore enabled the attainment of the environmental goal – the...
