Existing Infrastructure and the 2°C Target
نویسندگان
چکیده
To clarify the link between existing infrastructure legacy and the 2°C target, we extend the work of Davis et al. (2010) by introducing non-CO2 greenhouse gases and the inertia in transportation-needs drivers. We conclude that climate policies able to maintain climate change below 2°C cannot disregard existing infrastructure. ha ls hs -0 07 24 49 3, v er si on 1 21 A ug 2 01 2 Author manuscript, published in "Climatic Change 109, 3-4 (2011) 801-805" DOI : 10.1007/s10584-011-0268-5

Strategies to Overcome Network Congestion in Infrastructure Systems
Networked Infrastructure systems deliver services and/or products from point to point along the network. Demand for the services provided by such systems is typically cyclic, creating inefficiencies in capacity utilization. Congestion pricing provides incentives to shift demand from peak time periods to lower demand periods. This effectively increases the capacity of the system without the need...
متن کاملEnvironmental sustainability enhancement of a petroleum refinery through heat exchanger network retrofitting and renewable energy
This paper presents a case study on the enhancement of environmental sustainability in a petroleum refining process based on an exergetic diagnostic approach. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) pinpointed crude oil production and electricity generating systems as the main sources of environmental unsustainability. The existing hot utility demand of the process is 78.4 MW with a temperature differe...
متن کاملThe Effects of Broadband Infrastructure on Economic Growth in Developing Countries
In this paper we investigate the effects of broadband infrastructure providing high speed internet, on economic growth in developing countries. We have used two different broadband measures to classify developing countries into two groups for the period 1999-2008. By using logistic diffusion model and IV approach, a nonlinear diffusion model is specified. Differences in ceiling of diffusion cur...

In this research, we investigated the infrastructure management indicators of medical tourism facilitator firms in Iran. Methods: This research was co...
متن کاملOptimal DC Fast Charging Placing And Sizing In Iran Capital (Tehran)
DC fast charging (DCFC) and optimal placing of them is a fundamental factor for the popularization of electric vehicles (EVs). This paper proposes an approach to optimize place and size of charging stations based on genetic algorithm (GA). Target of this method is minimizing cost of conversion of gas stations to charging stations. Another considered issue is minimizing EVs losses to find neares...
