the demand for fossil fuel in the transport sector is constantly increasing and transportation is ranked amongst the highest greenhouse emitting sectors globally. today, tackling co2 emissions from road transport a widely discussed topic and constitutes a milestone towards reaching a sustainable, carbon neutral economy. this challenge is being described in various initiatives adopted in the eur...

BACKGROUND The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that may accompany land-use change (LUC) from increased biofuel feedstock production are a source of debate in the discussion of drawbacks and advantages of biofuels. Estimates of LUC GHG emissions focus mainly on corn ethanol and vary widely. Increasing the understanding of LUC GHG impacts associated with both corn and cellulosic ethanol will infor...

In recent years, the global climate governance is not just for a global environmental problem of climate change, more involved in international politics, economy, investment, technology and other fields, and involves the transformation of production and life style. Accompanied by global energy and technology revolution, the development of low carbon is our inevitable requirement. Recently, Chin...

Although space technologies are extremely useful to environmental researchers, the contribution that they make in monitoring city greenhouse gas emissions is limited to measuring those emissions. Standing alone, satellite technology is incapable of advancing the goal of decarbonisation. This goal will be achieved only if municipalities find local methodologies that reduce carbon emissions. Once...

Pollutants of Carbon flow virtually by streaming the Goods and services among the countries. Due to the Carbon Footprint (CFP) in economical divisions as well as subdivisions in Iran, the main objective of this paper is to specify the effects of Carbon footprint on import and export of various sections in the framework of Computable General Equilibrium Model. It’s used the social accounting mat...

Future global climate projections are subject to large uncertainties. Major sources of this uncertainty are projections of anthropogenic emissions. We evaluate the uncertainty in future anthropogenic emissions using a computable general equilibrium model of the world economy. Results are simulated through 2100 for carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC...

Executive Summary Growing concern over global climate change has triggered a search for methods to reduce overall carbon dioxide emissions. Reducing emissions from the heating and cooling systems of the 70 plus million single family North American residential units would assist significantly in this effort. However, given the current financial strains on homeowners, it is essential to find the ...

Carbon emissions are the major cause of the global warming; therefore, the exploration of carbon emissions reduction potential is of great significance to reduce carbon emissions. This paper explores the potential of carbon intensity reduction in Beijing in 2020. Based on factors including economic growth, resident population growth, energy structure adjustment, industrial structure adjustment ...

The Shenzhen ETS is the first urban-level “cap-and-trade” carbon emissions trading scheme to operate in China. This paper gives an overview of the economic and emissions situation in Shenzhen and focuses on the development of the Shenzhen ETS regulatory framework. It is devised as an ETS with an intensitybased cap, output-based allocation and a market for trading of allowances. The design of th...

Vehicular emissions have increased considerably over the years with the increase in traffic. Modern roundabouts can improve traffic flow as well as cut down vehicular emissions and fuel consumption by reducing the vehicle idle time at intersections and thereby creating a positive impact on the environment. The primary focus of this research is to study the impact of modern roundabouts in cuttin...
