This report evaluates emission mitigation options to achieve net-zero carbon emissions through marginal abatement cost (MAC) curves for the existing plants in the fertiliser industry. MAC curves were developed
Getting a staggering mileage of over 3,800 kilometres per litre plus seems unlikely, but this is the standard of fuel economy the teams competing in the Shell Eco-marathon project will be trying to achieve. The three-day event begins at the Euro Speedway Lausitz
The world is running up huge ecological debts, just as it has run up huge financial debts. Neither is sustainable. Leaders cannot successfully put capitalism back together again without at the same time fixing the greatest single consequence of unsustainability
Global climate change is occurring at an accelerating pace, and the global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are forcing climate change continue to increase.
Advertisements talking about green community villages and sustainable construction keep popping out from every magazine, newspaper, hoarding and television, but giving form to the idea depends on the executioner. Brad Baker of Codding Enterprises is one such man who has gone out of his way to ensure he delivers what the promotional material of Sonoma Mountain Village promises.
Energy efficiency in agriculture is an underanalyzed aspect of a potential climate change mitigation strategy. According to the Fourth Assessment Report, experts report only medium agreement and medium evidence that energy efficiency can provide substantial reductions (Smith et al. 2007).
Energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions are closely linked. This paper reviews agricultural options to reduce energy intensities and their impacts, discusses important accounting issues related to system boundaries, land scarcity, and measurement units and compares agricultural energy intensities and improvement potentials on an international level.
This paper outlines the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission trends in the residential and commercial sectors in Japan. The results showed that the increase in residential energy consumption in Japan is mainly caused by the widespread use of heating equipment, hot water supply apparatus, and other household electrical appliances.
This paper focuses on the renewed interest in purchasing or leasing land, and securing water rights for agricultural production; it does not focus on other forms of foreign investment in agriculture. It identifies the key drivers behind the recent surge in these investments, and examines prevailing trends in reported land contracts. The range of legal issues
This paper summarizes the methodological approach, and the results, of a study aimed at assessing the potential for electricity conservation and carbon dioxide emissions reductions in the Brazilian household sector.
This new report by Greenpeace International, European Solar Thermal Electricity Association (ESTELA) and IEA SolarPACES outlines how under an advanced industry development scenario, concentrating solar power, could meet up to 7% of the world
