Between stranded assets and green transformation: Fossil-fuel-producing developing countries towards 2055

Can “stranded” fossil fuel reserves drive CCS deployment?

Recent studies have evaluated the climate change implications of burning all of the world’s proven reserves of carbon. To stay below the ambitious target of two degrees Celsius of warming above average pre-industrial temperatures, the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that we would need to emit no more than 884 GtCO2 globally between 2012 and 2050, equivalent to burning approximately ...

Green Computing In Developed And Developing Countries

E-waste is defined something as a discarded parts of electronic devices which contains most of the times, hazardous chemicals which is deadly for our environment, example is computer components. Green Computing is the study and practice of designing, using, disposing and manufacturing electronic components in an eco-friend...

Hydrogen Fuel Cells and Transport Alternatives: Issues for Developing Countries

R technological advances in the application of hydrogen fuel cells in the transport sector have drawn considerable attention and increased funding from both public and private sources over the past ten years. Th e International Energy Agency estimates that about US$1billion per year is currently being invested in public hydrogen and fuel cell research, development, test vehicles, prototype refu...

Fossil fuel subsidies and health.

In calling for a switch of fossil fuel subsidies to funding of universal health coverage, Vinay Gupta and colleagues (June, 2015) miss two health-relevant issues: all fossil fuels are not the same and all subsidies are not the same. Liquefi ed petroleum gas (LPG) has major, direct health advantages in household cooking in countries of low and middle income, its primary use. Indeed, the Global B...
