Mitigating CO 2 emissions of concrete manufacturing through CO 2 -enabled binder reduction

Changing consumption patterns and CO 2 reduction

Today, most countries are facing national CO2 targets focused on production and direct energy use. However, two important driving forces are increased consumption and changing consumption patterns. In this paper we analyse the impact from household consumption on CO2 emissions. Household energy use is taken into account, as is the consumption of commodities and services produced by industry. Ba...

Post - Kyoto CO 2 emission reduction :

Long-term outlooks are key tools for policy design in the energy sector. These outlooks should also include scenarios considering active policies that address the challenge of climate change. Consequently such a CO2 emission reduction scenario was analysed as a case study within the ACROPOLIS project. This paper presents a method to derive regional emission targets that correspond to an emissio...

Driving Forces of CO 2 Emissions in the G 20

The G20, a grouping of the largest developed and developing economies in the world, accounts for almost 86% of global Gross Domestic Product and 76% of global CO2 emissions. In recent years, the G20 global summit has not only aimed to support an economic agenda, but also to coordinate actions towards a cleaner energy and low-carbon future. However, in different countries driving forces for the ...

Temporal changes in the emissions of CH 4 and CO from China estimated from CH 4 / CO 2 and CO / CO 2 correlations observed at Hateruma Island

In situ observation of the atmospheric CO2, CH4, and CO mixing ratios at Hateruma Island (HAT, 24.05 N, 123.80 E) often show synoptic-scale variations with correlative elevations during winter, associated with air transport from the East Asian countries. We examine winter (November–March) trends in 1CH4 /1CO2, 1CO /1CO2, and1CO /1CH4 observed at Hateruma over the period 1999 to 2010. To investi...
