Carbon-negative emissions: Systemic impacts of biomass conversion

Carbon Emissions from Biomass Burning

Conversion of Biomass into Bioplastics and Their Potential Environmental Impacts

To build our economy on a sustainable basis, we need to find a replacement for fossil carbon as chemical industry feedstocks (Andrady and Neal, 2009). There are growing concerns about current petroleum based production, accumulation of waste in landfills and in natural habitats including the sea, physical problems for wildlife resulting from ingestion or entanglement in plastic, the leaching of...

Predictability of carbon emissions from biomass burning in Indonesia

[1] Drought and sea surface temperature were examined as the causes of severe biomass burning C emissions in Indonesia for 1997–2006, obtained from the Global Fire Emissions Database. Eighteen predictor variables were considered under log linear and piecewise regression models. The predictor variables considered were precipitation totals of up to 6 months, output from two soil moisture models, ...

The Impacts of Population Change and Economic Growth on Carbon Emissions in Nigeria

T he main aim of this study is to investigate the impacts of population total, gross domestic product per capita, urbanization rate and energy use on carbon emissions in Nigeria for a period of 1981-2015 using autoregressive distributed lag approach to co-integration (ARDL). The empirical results revealed evidence of a long run relationship among the variables. The generalized ridge ...

Driving Pattern Variability and Impacts on Vehicle Carbon Monoxide Emissions

An analysis of instrumented vehicle data revealed significant differences in operating mode profiles for vehicle operations in Atlanta, Georgia; Baltimore, Maryland; and Spokane, Washington. Differences in such operating mode characteristics as acceleration rates and cruise speed distributions are important in the development of new emissions models because certain vehicle and engine operating ...
