Aiming at the increase of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, the difficulty of carbon sink measurement in farmland ecosystem and the lack of basis of grain carbon subsidy, this paper focuses on the problem that wheat conducts photosynthesis through light radiation to absorb carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and soil. And the wheat's photosynthetic carbon model was constructed using experiment...
The study is aimed to determine the potential of electrical energy from the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, mainly methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) based on the composition of municipal waste generated in Bontang City of East Borneo. The research was conducted by calculating the emissions of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) using Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC)...
The economic growth and the pattern of lifestyles of nations associated with it generally determine the anthropogenic effects of human activities on the environment. This in turn affects the environmental quality. The more prosperous a country's economy is, higher is its fossil fuel consumption, resulting in higher GHG emissions. They together determine the level of production and its degree of carbon...
Forest vertical structure parameters are one of critical components for understanding of the global forest carbon storage and cycle, as well as climate changes. Polarimetric SAR Interferometry (Pol-InSAR) techniques and waveform lidar have been widely and successfully used for extracting 3D forest structure profiles by means of both SAR and lidar airborne systems, but individually. Therefore, fusing...
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...
This work presents an alternative assessment of climate projections using FACTS (Bastien and Gay, 2016), based on possible future emissions pathways related to the Intended National Determined Contributions presented in 2015 as part of the Paris Agreement on climate change. Moreover it proposes emission reductions in order to stabilize the climate to the desired levels proposed by the international...
South Africa accounted for more than one-third of the total energy-related CO2 emissions on the African continent. South Africa's energy and electricity supplies are dominated by coal. The country's energy mix is expected to shift considerably towards renewables over the next two decades. This paper examines policy options for promoting such a shift to clean electricity, in order for South Africa...
Since the climate conferences in Paris and Marrakesh the outstanding question is not if but how and how fast to enable a decarbonization of the European electricity sector. Nuclear power has a difficult time to survive in electricity markets in all Western countries, such as the U.S., Europe, Japan, etc., and is getting increasingly under pressure due to high costs, and the falling costs of alternative...
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...
The carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions released from biomass burning significantly affect the temporal variations of atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Based on a long-term (July 2009–June 2015) retrieved data sets by the greenhouse gases observing satellite (GOSAT), the seasonal cycle and interannual variations of column-averaged volume mixing ratios of atmospheric carbon dioxide (XCO2) in four fire affected...
Climate change has affected the cultivation in all countries with extreme drought, flooding, higher temperature, and changes in the season thus leaving behind the uncontrolled production. Consequently, the smart farm has become part of the crucial trend that is needed for application in certain farm areas. The aims of smart farm are to control and to enhance food production and productivity, and to...
Decarbonisation of Irelands heating system would mean a shift away from traditional fossil fuels, and a step towards more renewable and sustainable thermal energy systems. Climate change and the related consequences associated with it have become a key component of the political agenda at local, national and international levels. It has become clear that further action is needed to tackle global warming...
Now a days, the energy efficiency is gaining central stage in policy designs of a country to address issues of climate change and energy security. Adoption of energy efficiency has vast potential to use the energy at optimized cost and to use national energy resources in sustainable manner. Energy saving certification (ESCert) is a market based incentive mechanism to promote energy efficiency in systematic...
Air pollution is considered as a severe environmental problem in the world. Air gets polluted due to different Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) present in our atmosphere, which is produced by anthropogenic and natural activities. GHG emissions from various source affects the quality of air in huge areas, which will effect on living organisms andecosystem. Among all the GHGs carbon-di-oxide (CO2) is reflected...
Wetland is an important part of terrestrial ecosystem because of their unique water-heat effects and greenhouse gas (GHG) metabolic processes. However, the variations in carbon flux and ET in wetland are not yet fully understood. Zhangye wetland is an oasis-desert wetland with complex meteorological conditions. In this study, we used eddy covariance technology and process-based to examine the characteristics...
Satellite remote sensing of carbon monoxide (CO) has been effective in providing global measurement of CO since the 2000s. This study aims to find a linkage between high CO episodes and weather patterns over eastern China, using the satellite CO product measured from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), along with the reanalysis meteorological data. AIRS data show high CO in eastern China, a populous...
Civil aviation is a high energy consuming traffic department. Based on the method of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the CO2 emission amount and emission intensity of Chinese air transportation and typical airlines from 2005 to 2014 were calculated in this paper. Through the comparative analysis, it can be found that, with the CO2 emissions of Chinese air transportation and typical...
This paper analyses the impact of current generation and interconnection capacity plans on the generation mix of the five South East European countries (Albania, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia) in the context of carbon price levels and assesses the conditions for the exploitation of the existing hydro potential. Future electricity mix of the five countries are analyzed - using...
It is widely believed that the burning of fossil fuels has increased the CO2 content of the atmosphere (Step 1), which in turn has led to global warming (Step 2), which in turn has caused climate change (Step 3) which is characterized by an increase in the frequency and magnitude of extreme events, which in turn will render parts of the globe uninhabitable (Step 4). Each step in this line of argument...
Carbon plays an essential role in the environment for climate change. The presence and absence of carbon directly affects all living beings. Trees inhale carbon for giving us oxygen. The environmental study of carbon is a major concern these days. Carbon Dioxide is stored in different five carbon pools of forest. Many countries are innolved in the research of environmental factors these days. The...
