In the last 10 yr, Beijing has made a great effort to improve its air quality. However, it is still suffering from regional coarse particulate matter (PM10) pollution that could be a challenge to the promise of clean air during the 2008 Olympics. To provide scientific guidance on regional air pollution control, the Mesoscale Modeling System Generation 5 (MM5) and the Models-3/Community Multisca...

In order to tackle climate change effectively, the greenhouse gas emissions produced in Korea should be assessed precisely. To do so, the nation needs to accumulate country-specific data reflecting the specific circumstances surrounding Korea's emissions. This paper analyzed element contents of domestic anthracite, calorific value, and concentration of methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) in t...

This paper analyzes and processes the time sequence of carbon emissions from the perspective of the BP neural network, revealing the structure and the law of all kinds of index systems of carbon emissions and describing the dynamic characteristics of carbon emissions system. Based on the synthesis of the energy structure factors, energy efficiency factors, economic development factors, populati...

Power generation industry is the key industry of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in China. Assessing its future CO2 emissions is of great significance to the formulation and implementation of energy saving and emission reduction policies. Based on the Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence and Technology model (STIRPAT), the influencing factors analysis model of CO2 emission of...

The global atmospheric emissions of the 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) listed as the US EPA priority pollutants were estimated using reported emission activity and emission factor data for the reference year 2004. A database for emission factors was compiled, and their geometric means and frequency distributions applied for emission calculation and uncertainty analysis, respectively...

hydrogen technology is becoming ever more relevant because hydrogen use can help containinggreenhouse gas emission if co2 capture and storage techniques are implemented in the hydrogen productiontechnology (when hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels). for this reason this work aims at carryingout a comparative analysis of possible energy scenarios in urban districts: a medium-small italian cit...
