Retail Store Density and the Cost of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The density, size, and location of stores in a retailer's network influences both the retailer's and the consumers' costs. With stores few and far between, consumers must travel a long distance to shop, whereas shopping trips are shorter with a dense network of stores. The layout of the retail supply chain is of interest to retailers who have emission reduction targets and urban planners concer...
متن کاملSupply Chain Design and the Cost of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The design of a supply chain not only inuences a retailers cost, it inuences its customerscosts with stores few and far between, consumers must travel a long distance to shop, whereas their shopping trips are short with a dense network of stores. This supply chain design problem is the combination of two well studied problems: the Traveling Salesmen problem and the k-median problem. A solut...
متن کاملTechnology Dynamics and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Mitigation: A Cost Assessment
This article analyzes long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their mitigation in a family of high economic and energy demand growth scenarios in which technological change unfolds in alternative '"path dependent .. directions. Four variants of this family are developed and used as baseline scenarios. for which alternati,·e policy cases leading to a stabilization of atmospheric CO, concent...
متن کاملCost of abating greenhouse gas emissions with cellulosic ethanol.
We develop an integrated framework to determine and compare greenhouse gas (GHG) intensities and production costs of cellulosic ethanol derived from corn stover, switchgrass, and miscanthus grown on high and low quality soils for three representative counties in the Eastern United States. This information is critical for assessing the cost-effectiveness of utilizing cellulosic ethanol for mitig...
متن کاملThe Costs of Reducing Greenhouse-Gas Emissions
Human activities around the world are producing increasingly large quantities of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2) resulting from the consumption of fossil fuels and deforestation. Most experts expect that the accumulation of such gases in the atmosphere will result in a variety of environmental changes over time, including a gradual warming of the global climate, extensive ch...
