Taniguchi ( Japan ) Sector Costs and Ancillary Benefits of Mitigation 9

References 595 CONTENTS Policies adopted to mitigate global warming will have implications for specific sectors, such as the coal industry, the oil and gas industry, electricity, manufacturing, transportation and households. A sectoral assessment helps to put the costs in perspective , to identify the potential losers, and the extent and location of the losses, as well as to identify the sector...

Climate change mitigation for agriculture: water quality benefits and costs.

New Zealand is unique in that half of its national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory derives from agriculture--predominantly as methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), in a 2:1 ratio. The remaining GHG emissions predominantly comprise carbon dioxide (CO2) deriving from energy and industry sources. Proposed strategies to mitigate emissions of CH4 and N2O from pastoral agriculture in New Zealand are:...

Energy Losses and Operational Costs of Radon Mitigation Systems

Energy losses and operational costs of radon mitigation systems in typical locations within the various heating zones in the USA have been calculated that include a modeling of seasonal and daily temperature variations. Two types of energy losses are compared with the electrical energy consumption for various ventilators that will be presented graphically. These energy losses will also be compa...
