A Reference Scenario for Energy Use and CO2 Emissions by the Residential Sector in the United Kingdom
نویسنده
چکیده
A 'bottom-up' methodology has been developed for estimating energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the United Kingdom residential sector, using a physically based model of energy demand. It brings together data from a variety of sources on the physical factors determining energy demand, and reconciles estimated energy requirements with the historical fuel delivery aggregates given in the Digest of UK Energy Statistics. ·It .has been used previously to explain past demand for energy in the sector in terms of trends in the physically determining factors, including the growth in the use of central heating and improvements to insulation..

Assessment of Alternative Scenarios for CO2 Reduction Potential in the Residential Building Sector
The South Korean government announced its goals of reducing the country’s CO2 emissions by up to 30% below the business as usual (BAU) projections by 2020 in 2009 and 37% below BAU projections by 2030 in 2015. This paper explores the potential energy savings and reduction in CO2 emissions offered by residential building energy efficiency policies and plans in South Korea. The current and future...
متن کاملOptimal crop management can reduce energy use and greenhouse gases emissions in rainfed canola production
Energy use and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in rainfed canola production in north eastern Iran were analyzed to find measures to reduce energy use and GHG emissions. Four production scenarios, i.e. a high-input, a low-input, a better crop management and a usual scenario, evaluated. All activities and production processes were monitored and recorded over three consecutive years. The usua...
