Following the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assertion that climate change is now unequivocally taking place, the Davos Declaration has prioritized the need for the tourism sector to respond to the climate change challenge. There is a need to reduce emissions through carbon management strategy of tourism in response to avoid dangerous climate change. Climate change impacts require...
Coal will remain the dominant source for electricity generation in the foreseeable future and power generation is the primary CO2 emission, so efficient and clean use of coal is the key to solve the low-carbon development. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the only currently available technology that can align increased use of fossil fuels with climate change goals. United Nations Intergovernmental...
Green Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) have the potential to significantly curb greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. This paper provides a rationale for focusing ICT research and development efforts on curbing GHG emissions as opposed to only targeting energy efficiency goals. ICT's potential as a GHG emission reduction agent is described as are recent developments with respect to...
With the convened of Copenhagen conference, the national is vigorously respond to the low-carbon economic development. In such a situation, Tianjin is also actively engaged in. As an important aspect of the development of Tianjin, energy, also need to make reforms. As the foundation of the national economy, Energy is playing a very important role in ensuring the sustained, rapid and healthy development...
Evidence shows large amount of Green House Gases (GHG) was discharged into the atmosphere during the process of industrial and agricultural production and led to global warming which affected the environment and life of mankind. This press makes GHG reduction the common responsibility of humans. This paper induces risk management into adaptation enhancement and GHG emission reduction, risk matrix...
This paper firstly gives an overview of the CDM market in China, and further introduces China's CDM project management system, key CDM policies and voluntary emission trading. On this basis, the paper analyzes barriers to the Chinese carbon market. Finally, it makes some suggestions such as strengthening the policy support, fully utilizing international mechanism, enlarging the financing channel for...
One of the companies under Algaetech, Sasaran Biofuel Sdn. Bhd. Malaysia, provides project management, technology transfer and technical expertise to develop a solution to minimize and mitigate Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions through the diversion of the CO2 to open algal ponds and enclosed photo-bioreactors as algal propagation technologies to consume CO2 waste stream. The company is presently consulting...
The growing needs of fossil fuel energy pose a great challenge in the control of CO2 emissions in our atmosphere. Adsorption can be considered to be one of the more promising methods for CO2 capture. In the present work, graphite nanoplatets were prepared by acid intercalation followed by exfoliation technique. These graphite nanoplatelets were further functionalized and characterized by different...
Developing a low-carbon economy is critical to cope with challenges incurred by global climate change. Decarbonisation of power generation plays an important role in CO2 emission mitigation. CO2 capture and storage (CCS) has been identified as a family of critical low carbon technologies, which allows the continued utilization of fossil fuels. However, the development of CCS is greatly restricted...
Climate change is rapidly becoming known as a tangible issue that must be addressed to avoid major environmental consequences in the future. Recent change in public opinion has been caused by the physical signs of climate change-melting glaciers, rising sea levels, more severe storm and drought events, and hotter average global temperatures annually. Transportation is a major contributor of carbon...
Faced with growing concerns over the environmental impact of human activities and increasing regulatory pressure, companies are beginning to recognize the importance of greening their supply chains by minimizing carbon emissions of their activities. An original equipment manufacturer that is concerned with minimizing the environmental impact of its activities should choose its suppliers based on the...
After briefly reviewing America's Energy Policy laid out by the Obama Administration, we outline how a Global Carbon Observing System designed to monitor Carbon from space can provide the necessary data and tools to equip decision makers with the knowledge necessary to formulate effective energy use and practices policy. To stabilize greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere in a manner that it does...
Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of forest carbon (C) stocks, changes in these stocks (ΔC) due to land use and land use change and net greenhouse gas emissions are critical technical challenges of climate change mitigation initiatives aiming to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD). MRV systems for emission reporting for voluntary carbon...
It is known to all that potential global climate change has a great deal to do with anthropogenic emissions of CO2. The carbon dioxide emissions from the exhaust gases of the fossil fuel-fired power plants account for about a third of global CO2 emissions and are increasing in the last decades. At this context, this work presents a survey on the carbon dioxide capture technologies from the power plants...
In this paper, the author gave an comparative study base on leading CO2 emission countries. The results showed that the objective of carbon emission reduction need the long term co-working by countries with respectively implementation feasibility.
Agricultural production is critical for carbon budget of arable land and global climate change. With the economic and social development after the founding of new China, there are a lot of changes on the mode of agricultural production and the way of arable land utilization, such as rapid reduction of ecological land use, great expansion of reclamation area and remarkable increase of grain output...
Absorption of CO2 with amines has been extensively studied in recent years because of environmental concern of global warming. The investigation of CO2 absorption by potassium glycinate (PG) aqueous solution with different concentrations (1.0~3.0 mol/L) was conducted in a CO2 absorber, and the regeneration performance of PG aqueous solution after CO2 absorption by means of heating was studied. And...
Since 2007, the United Nations Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its fourth Climate Change Assessment Report, and climate change attracts unprecedented attention. According to scientific research, we all know energy use is a key resource to produce greenhouse gas which gives rise to the climate change. We need adjust the energy strategy to cope with the climate change. In...
Finding an equitable mitigation policy to combat global climate change is a major problem facing society today. Successful mitigation of climate change will require a decrease in global CO2 emissions and economic costs associated with reduced production of consumer goods. A critical consideration is the existence of an uneven distribution of benefits and damages associated with climate change, stressing...
