In recent years, global warming has been a major issue due to continuous growth of greenhouse gas emissions from different sources. It has been estimated that the global average temperature will rise between 1.4 –5.8 °C by the year 2100 (Williams, 2002). The contributors to greenhouse effects are carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). The contr...

Abstract Background and Aims Since the beginning of industrial era, human activities have led to a significant increase in concentration greenhouse gases (GHGs) atmosphere are cause climate change, negative effects which on health already visible (1). Paradoxically, sector also exerts major pressure environment through carbon-based care that emit GHGs (2). In this context, few studies highlight...

Emission metrics aggregate climate impacts of greenhouse gases to common units such as CO2-equivalents (CO2-eq.). Examples include the global warming potential (GWP), the global temperature change potential (GTP) and the absolute sustained emission temperature (aSET). Despite the importance of biomass as a primary energy supplier in existing and future scenarios, emission metrics for CO2 from f...

Wheat is one of the world's most favoured food sources, reaching millions of people on a daily basis. However, its production has climatic consequences. Fuel, inorganic fertilizers and pesticides used in wheat production emit greenhouse gases that can contribute negatively to climate change. It is unknown whether adopting alternative farming practices will increase crop yield while reducing car...

Previous Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies of biomass briquetting have shown wide variations in the LCA outcomes as a result methodological parameters and technological parameters. An model was therefore developed to enable transparent comparison life cycle environmental impacts with individual or blends feeds variety options. The according standard procedure ISO14044. A comparative approach ...

Accurate estimation of emissions greenhouse gases (GHGs) is required for making effective climate change mitigation policies at the national level. Among major sources, municipal solid waste (MSW) an important source GHGs, such as methane (CH4), generated during anaerobic decomposition organic matter. In Viet Nam, GHGs are not well quantified, in particular from MSW management system. this stud...

Estimates of regional greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural systems are needed to evaluate possible mitigation strategies with respect to environmental effectiveness and economic feasibility. Therefore, in this study, we used the GIS-coupled economic-ecosystem model EFEM–DNDC to assess disaggregated regional greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from typical livestock and crop production systems ...
