Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions account for nearly 60 per cent of total global anthropogenic GHG emissions. In 2011, CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels reached a record 31.6 Gt (IEA 2012a). Primary energy consumption continues to rise and fossil fuels have provided the major share of the incremental growth over the past decade, accounting for more than 80 per cent o...

Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions has become a global consensus in response to global warming and climate change, especially to China, the largest CO2 emitter in the world. Most studies have focused on CO2 emissions from the production sector, however, the household sector plays an important role in the total energy-related CO2 emissions. This study formulates an integrated model based on...

On-road transportation is responsible for 28% of all U.S. fossil-fuel CO2 emissions. Mapping vehicle emissions at regional scales is challenging due to data limitations. Existing emission inventories use spatial proxies such as population and road density to downscale national or state-level data. Such procedures introduce errors where the proxy variables and actual emissions are weakly correla...

The accurate estimation of the impact urban form on CO2 emissions is essential for proposal effective low-carbon spatial planning strategies. However, few studies have focused relationship between and in small medium-sized cities, it especially unclear whether varies across cities with different socioeconomic characteristics. This study took 132 Yangtze River Delta China to explore how affects ...

According to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC 2006) and based on the production technology and products, this paper has calculated CO2 emissions from industrial processes and product use (IPPU), which involves the individual and the summation of five major IPUU CO2 emissions industrial departments. As there is a classic environmental Kuznets curve between I...

In this paper, the p-median model is used to find the location of retail stores that minimizes CO2 emissions from consumer travel. The optimal location is then compared with the existing retail location, and the excess CO2 emissions compared with the optimal solution is calculated. The results show that by using the environmentally optimal location, CO2 emissions from consumer travel could be r...

Meta-analysis combines results from multiple longitudinal studies to describe life course variation by age and sex for quantity of drinking per typical occasion (20 studies) and frequency of drinking during one month (27 studies). There is cross-study heterogeneity for the Time 1 means of the drinking variables blocking for age and sex. Age distributions for the Time 1 means are similar by gend...

This study explores the short and long-run effects of banking sector development environment on population health in EU member transition states through second-generation panel cointegration causality analyses. The analysis revealed a significant between health, but direction varied depending indicator development. Also, one-way from greenhouse gas emissions per capita to was revealed. Furtherm...

Vehicle-use intensity (kilometers traveled per vehicle per year or VKT) is important because it directly affects simulation results for vehicle fuel use and emissions, but the poor understanding of VKT in China could significantly affect the accuracy of estimation of total fuel use and CO2 emissions, and thus impair precise evaluation of the effects of associated energy and environmental polici...
