The continuous improvement of EAF performance is crucial for the increase in productivity and cost effectiveness and to render an environmental friendly process. RHI supports these targets by providing a diverse range of refractory and process solutions. Chemical energy in practical operation by injection of gaseous media like oxygen and natural gas, and solid materials like carbon have become ...

Trading of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions is an attractive approach to help producers implement cleaner treatment technologies to replace current anaerobic lagoons. Our objectives were to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions from implementation of aerobic technology in USA swine farms. Emission reductions were calculated using the approved United Nations framework convent...

BACKGROUND The recent global climate agreement in Paris aims to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions while fostering sustainable development and establishes an international trading mechanism to meet this goal. Currently, carbon offset program implementers are allowed to collect their own monitoring data to determine the number of carbon credits to be awarded. OBJECTIVES We summarize reasons for...

Climate games deal with the interaction among multiple actors on global, regional and local levels of climate policy, increasing or decreasing emissions of greenhouse gases. Emissions trading is an instrument of the Kyoto Protocol to achieve emission reductions in regions and business sectors where they are least costly. Emission paths and emission trading flows are analysed within a dynamic mu...

A zero-carbon port microgrid that integrates carbon capture power plants is proposed to build the green and promote achievement of dual-carbon goal. To achieve optimal economic operation reduce emissions, an energy management model considering trading mechanisms established. Furthermore, a distributed method for based on alternating direction multipliers (ADMMs). The simulation results prove ef...

Kathy Corbin, Colorado State University The problem of human-induced climate change has emerged as one of the grand challenges facing humanity. Advances in scientifi c understanding in the past 20 years have confi rmed the fact of climate change and its likely acceleration, driven primarily by rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels—mostly from fossil-fuel combustion. We must reduce CO2 emissions to...

The European Union Emission Trading Scheme is a carbon emission allowance trading system designed by Europe to achieve reduction target. amount of caused production activities closely related the socio-economic environment. Therefore, from perspective economic policy uncertainty, this article constructs GARCH-MIDAS-EUEPU and GARCH-MIDAS-GEPU models for investigating impact global uncertainty on...

This paper investigates the effects of the various systems of tradeable allowances for CO2-emissions in the Netherlands. These effects are compared with those of raising and adapting the current energy taxes. The results show that a hybrid emissions system (with a absolute cap for sheltered sectors and a relative cap for exposed sectors) performs best in terms of a net national income measure o...

Background & Aims of the Study: Due to one-way flow of water in rivers Guilan, pollution trade theory and the system of Ratio-Trade (TRS) and Streeter - Phelps equation has been used. This system, with a view of the river self- purification and how the distribution and transport of pollutants, determined Ratio-Trade system (TRS) between the units and using this method offers optimal pat...
