Industrial sectors responsible for large part of CO2 emissions in Poland are characterized from the point of view of possibilities of sequestration of this gas by underground storage. On the basis of official statistics and data obtained from local administration and individual plants, attempt was ...

Burning coal—for electricity, as well as metallurgy and cement production—is the world’s single largest source of CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, its use in electricity generation has actually grown 91.2% since 1997, the year when the first global climate agreement was signed in Kyoto, Japan....
2, Pages 1742-1764: Addressing Climate Change at the State and Local Level: Using Land Use Controls to Reduce Automobile Emissions Automobiles are a major source of CO2 emissions. Because there is no immediate technological fix to reduce these emissions, the most promising current strategy is to...
This chapter discusses the concepts of CO2 emission, global warming, and climate change with an emphasis on their environmental impacts. Specifically, the chapter reviews different sources of atmospheric CO2 emissions and recent advances in the implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technolog...
in the form of coal, oil and natural gas, has raised the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere from 280 ppm to 413 ppm. In the past decade, the CO2 emissions were taking place at the rate of 2 ppm/year and has led several risks to human life including glacier melting, floods, heat...
Five main biogenic sources of CO2 efflux from soils have been distinguished and described according to their turnover rates and the mean residence time of . They are root respiration, rhizomicrobial respiration, decomposition of plant residues, the priming effect induced by root exudation or by addi...
aCO2 emissions in ammonia production could be divided into two sources. One is in feedstock gasification to produce hydrogen, defined as “process-related emission” in this paper. The other is in fuel combustion for heat supply, defined as “combustion- related emission”. In process-related ...
This note describes the sources and methods used to calculate the emissions-weighted carbon price (ECP), the average price applied to CO2 emissions across all sources of emissions within a territorial jurisdiction by all carbon pricing mechanisms&nb
Rivers and streams are key sources of CO2. Estimated emissions and aquatic productivity from across the US show that small streams predominantly emit CO2 produced in soils, but the contribution from aquatic metabolism increases with river size. Carbon di
