Wetlands are valuable habitats that provide important social, economic, and ecological services such as flood control, water quality improvement, carbon sequestration, pollutant removal, and primary/secondary production export to terrestrial and aquatic food chains. There is disagreement about the need for mosquito control in wetlands and about the techniques utilized for mosquito abatement and...

The Kyoto Protocol assigns limits for the aggregate emissions of six greenhouse gases, but most economic analyses focus on CO2 abatement. What are the potential gains if policy makers exploit the flexibility in a multi-gas abatement strategy? We extend the EDGE model to include sinks and non-CO2 gases and show that a multigas strategy reduces costs by 20-35% in the Western Annex B countries. Ma...

The paper focuses on the macroeconomic and sectoral effects on developing countries (which have no emission abatement targets) of abatement actions in developed countries. The importance of the Kyoto mechanisms in minimising these impacts is examined in the analysis, with an emphasis on the importance of emissions trading in reducing abatement costs. Lower economic costs, in turn, reduce the im...

In this paper, we present a dynamic model modified with emission permit banking and pollution abatement, and investigate the effect of emission permit banking and pollution abatement on the production–inventory strategy of the firm. After introducing emission permit banking and pollution abatement, the cost function consists of the inventory holding and production costs, the cost of investment ...

Abstract Starting from the ’90s, Swedish manufacturing output has been constantly growing, while emissions of some major air pollutants have declining. This paper decomposes pollution to identify forces associated with abatement. It uses a newly available dataset on actual annual and creates an index emission intensities for local directly estimate technique effect period 2007–2017. The results...

The presence of traces sulfur dioxide (i.e. 1–10 ppmV) alongside residual methane emissions induces the rapid deactivation typical abatement catalysts. As a result, sulfur-induced poisoning is main challenge faced by after-treatment technologies for abatement. aim this study was to synthesise series cobalt and molybdenum catalysts assess their performance under realistic conditions. characteris...

A comprehensive discussion of feasible strategies for sustainable energy supply is urgently needed to achieve a turnaround of the current energy situation. The necessary fundamentals required for the development of a long term energy vision are lacking to a great extent due to the absence of reasonable long term scenarios that fulfill the requirements of climate protection and sustainable energ...

The refurbishment of building stocks constitutes a significant role in reducing carbon emissions from the built environment. However, rates remain low despite tools and methods for addressing this issue has been prevalent long time. This article aims to perform holistic review scientific literature that reduce by refurbishing buildings. A scoping snowball sampling 106 articles analyzed advantag...
