Optimal Emissions Reduction Investment under Green House Gas Emissions Regulations
In emissions intensive industries such as iron and cement, manufacturers can invest to reduce carbon emissions. Under carbon regulations, their investment decisions will change the cost structure of production. We study the joint production and investment decisions under command-andcontrol and market-based regulations for a manufacturer. Market-based regulations include carbon tax and cap-and-t...
متن کاملEnergy use efficiency, GHG emissions, and carbon efficiency of paddy rice production in Iran
The energy efficiency, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and carbon efficiency of paddy rice production were analysed in Sari in the Mazandaran province of Iran during 2011–2012. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews with paddy producers. The results showed that the net energy gain was 27,932 MJ ha-1 and energy efficiency was 1.83 during production. The results o...

متن کاملGreenhouse Gas Emissions from Livestock and Poultry
In 2008 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated that only 6.4% of U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions originated from agriculture. Of this amount, 53.5% comes from animal agriculture. Agricultural activities are the largest source of N2O emissions in the U.S. accounting for 69% of the total N2O emissions for 2009. In animal agriculture, the greatest contributor to methane emissions ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Canola Production
In this research, the energy flow and production energy indices of canola cultivation in Trakya province of Turkey, Golestan and Mazandaran provinces of Iran were compared. Diesel fuel and chemical fertilizer inputs were the highest consumer of energy in the production of canola in these three regions. The results indicated that despite the higher energy use of machinery in Trakya province of T...
