Greenhouse Gas Emissions and the Potential for Mitigation from Materials Management within Oecd Countries
ثبت نشده
چکیده
An order-of magnitude estimate of life-cycle GHG reductions across potential municipal solid waste management scenarios shows that achievable reductions are on the order of current annual emissions from the conventional waste sector quantified in OECD countries’ GHG inventories. In other words, in most countries, at least 4 percent of current annual GHG emissions could be mitigated if waste management practices were improved.

Estimation of gas emission released from a municipal solid waste landfill site through a modeling approach: A case study, Sanandaj, Iran
Sanitary landfill is the common strategy for municipal solid waste management in developing countries. Anaerobic decomposition of disposed wastes in landfill under favorable conditions will lead to the landfill gas (LFG) emissions, considering as emerging air pollutants. The emission of greenhouse gases, including methane, resulting from municipal solid waste disposal and treatment processes ar...
متن کاملReducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting agricultural management for climate change in developing countries: providing the basis for action.
Agriculture in developing countries has attracted increasing attention in international negotiations within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change for both adaptation to climate change and greenhouse gas mitigation. However, there is limited understanding about potential complementarity between management practices that promote adaptation and mitigation, and limited basis to ...
متن کاملThe Costs and Benefits of Integrating Non-Annex I Countries in International Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading Systems
One of the main mechanisms for implementing international Climate Change policies is the establishment of a carbon offset market that allows the transfer of emission reductions between countries. The rationale for this policy instrument, which is recognised in the Kyoto Protocol, is to facilitate global cost efficiency in climate change mitigation through a cost efficient allocation of reductio...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Canola Production
In this research, the energy flow and production energy indices of canola cultivation in Trakya province of Turkey, Golestan and Mazandaran provinces of Iran were compared. Diesel fuel and chemical fertilizer inputs were the highest consumer of energy in the production of canola in these three regions. The results indicated that despite the higher energy use of machinery in Trakya province of T...
متن کاملClimate change abatement and farm profitability analyses across agricultural environments
Management practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from farms or increase on-farm carbon storage can contribute to climate change mitigation. Farmers, however, are only likely to adopt new management practices if they contribute to farm profitability. We use the Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) to simulate how different cropping practices contribute to greenhouse gas aba...
