Greenhouse gas abatement strategies and costs in French dairy production

Minimax regret strategies for greenhouse gas abatement: methodology and application

Classical stochastic programming has already been used with large scale LP models for long-term analysis of energy-environment systems. We propose a Minimax Regret formulation suitable for large scale linear programming models. It has been experimentally verified that the minimax regret strategy depends only on the extremal scenarios and not on the intermediate ones, thus making the approach co...

The Greenhouse Effect: Damages, Costs and Abatement

The buildup of so-called "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere C O 2 in particular -appears to be having an adverse impact on the global climate. This paper briefly reviews current expectations with regard to physical and biological effects, their potential costs to society, and likely costs of abatement. For a "worst case" scenario it is impossible to assess, in economic terms, the full range o...

The Costs of Greenhouse Gas Abatement : A Meta - analysis of Post - SRES Mitigation Scenarios

Economic analyses have produced widely differing estimates of the economic implications of policies for greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation ranging from high costs to modest benefits. The main reason for the differences appears to be differences in approaches and assumptions. This paper analyses the extent to which the post-SRES model results for the global costs of GHG mitigation can be explained ...

Greenhouse gas and ammonia emission abatement by slurry treatment

NH3, CH4 and N2O emissions from dairy cattle and pig slurries were quantified. The effect of the following treatments was investigated: untreated covered slurry, mechanically separated slurry, anaerobically digested slurry, slurry covered with a layer of straw, and slurry aeration. Measurements were carried out with dairy cattle and with pig slurry, in winter and in summer. After storage, slurr...
