Toward Fossil Fuel and CO2 Savings in Kuwait
The electricity and potable water production sector in Kuwait depends solely on oil and gas fired generation technologies. Complete reliance on oil and gas has negative impact on the country's economy and environment, and hence, calls for exploration for alternative energy sources. This paper presents results of analysis of including renewable energy technologies within the generation inventory...
متن کاملThe Energy Transition in a Scenario of Sustained Low Fossil Fuel Prices
After a four-year period during which crude oil was trading at an average of $115/bl (Baffes et al, 2015), prices started to plummet in June 2014, raising immediate concerns about the resilience of energy transition processes. At that time, some argued that the expansion of clean energy solutions would not be derailed, referring inter alia to the cyclical nature of oil prices; because a swift r...
متن کاملOceanic Uptake of Fossil Fuel CO2: Carbon-13 Evidence.
The delta(13)C value of the dissolved inorganic carbon in the surface waters of the Pacific Ocean has decreased by about 0.4 per mil between 1970 and 1990. This decrease has resulted from the uptake of atmospheric CO(2) derived from fossil fuel combustion and deforestation. The net amounts of CO(2) taken up by the oceans and released from the biosphere between 1970 and 1990 have been determined...
متن کاملA synthesis of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fuel combustion
This synthesis discusses the emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil-fuel combustion and cement production. While much is known about these emissions, there is still much that is unknown about the details surrounding these emissions. This synthesis explores our knowledge of these emissions in terms of why there is concern about them; how they are calculated; the major global efforts on inventor...
متن کاملLarge historical changes of fossil-fuel black carbon aerosols
[1] Anthropogenic emissions of fine black carbon (BC) particles, the principal light-absorbing atmospheric aerosol, have varied during the past century in response to changes of fossil-fuel utilization, technology developments, and emission controls. We estimate historical trends of fossilfuel BC emissions in six regions that represent about twothirds of present day emissions and extrapolate th...
