Embodied Carbon Tariffs

Embodied carbon tariffs tax the direct and indirect carbon emissions embodied in trade — an idea popularized by countries seeking to extend the reach of domestic carbon regulations. We investigate their effectiveness using simulations from an applied general equilibrium model of global trade and energy use. We find that the tariffs do reduce foreign emissions, but their ability to improve the g...

Embodied System Life

System life is concerned with societies of living beings, i.e. humans, animals, plants, and artifacts, i.e. computers, robots, machines in general, software, and virtual creatures. In this position paper we will focus on the functions of embodiment. It turns out that in addition to the fact that embodied systems are physical entities, there are important consequences of embodiment for category ...

Embodied Energy Versus Operational Energy . Showing The Shortcomings Of The Energy Performance Building Directive ( EPBD )

Energy is a key issue for Portugal, it is responsible for the higher part of its imports and since almost 30% of Portuguese energy is generated in power stations it is also responsible for high CO2 emissions. Between 1995 and 2005 Portuguese GNP rise 28%, however the imported energy in the same period increased 400%, from 1500 million to 5500 million dollars. As to the period between 2005 and 2...
