Energy Policies for Carbon Dioxide Emission Reduction

Smart Transportation Emission Reductions Identifying Truly Optimal Energy Conservation And Emission Reduction Strategies

This report investigates methods for identifying the optimal (best overall, taking into account all benefits and costs) transportation emission reduction strategies. Current evaluation methods tend to undervalue mobility management (strategies that change travel behavior to increase transport system efficiency, also called Transportation Demand Management or TDM) due to various types of biases:...

Evaluating the effects of energy and economic growth on Carbon dioxide emission (using spatial panel data)

Energy is one of the most important inputs in production. Energy usage and energy diffusion of fossil fuels in process of production cause greenhouse gases (CO2) emission and destruction of environment. According to the importance of issues like energy usage and economic growth, this paper, concerning the effects of proximity, evaluates the effects of energy usage and economic growth on emissio...

Carbon Dioxide Emission Standards

On June 25, 2013, President Obama announced his plan to introduce carbon dioxide emission standards for electricity generation. This paper proposes an efficiency analysis approach that addresses which emission rates (and standards) would be feasible if the existing generating units adopt best practices. A new efficiency measure is introduced and further decomposed to identify different sources’...

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Reduction by Sacramento's Urban Forest

Sacramento County s 6 million trees store 8 mllllon tons of C O (31 t;ha). and annually sequester 238.000 t ( 0 92 tbhai Ar-condltionlng (157 GWh) and space-heating (145 TJ) savings from the urban forest further reduce emisslons by 75 600 t of CO annually (0 29 t:ha). These avolded emisslons are only 32"0 of the amount sequestered. due to a clean. hydroelectric energy supply. Annual COrelease a...
