Capturing and utilizing CO2 for the production of goods (CCU) is a novel approach to tackle the problem of rising emissions and global warming. Companies introducing CCU goods need to consider the public perception of the technology. A general concern is that the negative public attitude towards a related approach (capturing and transferring CO2 to subterranean storages-CCS) may impact the perception...
Climate change related emissions have emerged as one of the adverse effects of unsustainable energy use, which poses the challenge of ensuring energy sustainability while accounting for climate change mitigation. In this paper, using the Energy Indicators for Sustainable Development framework, an assessment of GHG emissions trends along with national and international pledges for a set of developed...
International Trade has strong impacts on green house gas (GHG) emission and climate change. the trade between China and the European Union is critical to the global GHG reduction. The EU is committed to reduce its CO2 emissions under the Kyoto Protocol. However, if the EU reaches its emissions targets by importing CO2-intensive products from China or other developing countries, the goals will be...
Coal is indeed China's double edged sword-the new economy's black gold and the fragile environment's dark cloud. Because of its impact as a greenhouse gas on climate change, it has become increasingly urgent to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. The article makes an overview of Coal's role in the climate crisis and suggests new approaches for China coal enterprises to shrink the carbon footprint...
With the constantly changing of global temperatures, the conflict has become increasingly prominent between the limitation of coal, oil, gas and other conventional energy sources and increasing demands. To implement low-carbon economy will become an important strategic choice to dealing with global climate change and achieving sustainable development. So, every country in the world, especially developed...
Global warming is becoming a big problem and carbon emissions from a variety of sources are the cause of it. To control emission, a number of carbon emission reduction policies and schemes such as the Kyoto Protocol & COP15 treaty have been reached and put in place. However, not all countries participate in these global carbon mitigation treaties. One of the many reasons for the absence of participation...
Agricultural low-carbon economy as the embodiment of low-carbon economy in agriculture has been proposed in response to global climate change. This paper briefly introduced the function of carbon source and sink in agro-ecosystem. In order to develop agricultural low-carbon economy in China, the agricultural circular economy pattern should been actively explored, and the efficient and economic key...
Carbon tax is not only an important part of the environmental taxation system, but also an important tool of environmental economic policy. The theoretical basis of a carbon tax is to internalize externalities in order to avoid the Tragedy of the Commons in atmosphere. Carbon tax would greatly decrease CO2 emissions. It would restrain economic growth in the short term, but is conducive to the healthy...
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...
The phenomenon of gradual warming of the planet has occurred for thousands of years, but it has been increasing in the course of the twentieth century due to the high concentrations of gases, which are responsible for the greenhouse effect. Recently, the scientific community has been debating and searching for new sources of renewable energies and the effects of the increasing emissions. Taking these...
Building on the extensive research in Virtual Reality (VR), we are proposing a new dynamic prototype for modelling and simulating carbon emissions in a virtual village called VIRVIL. VIRVIL is a simulated settlement for the assessment of the impact of low and zero carbon technologies and measures in the built environment. The prototype will focus on the impact on the community as a whole, as well...
Energy is the bedrock of our daily lives and industry. Now is the time that industry, government and academia must join together and examine highly independent, fully environmentally considerate and rational energy systems. In this presentation, recent Japanese policy will be introduced focusing on new national energy strategy. Looking at future technology trends, it is probable that, in the case...
