How to compile a greenhouse gas emissions registry
With the federal government debating the best way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on a national scale, policymakers must also address the need to collect the emissions data necessary to ensure the success of US climate change policies. The first step in reducing emissions is to measure them. Without accurate and complete data on the sources of emissions and the amount they emit, the success of ...

California Climate Registry defining greenhouse gas (GHG) tracking and reporting requirements
The California Climate Action Registry, also known as the California Climate Registry, is a program under the supervision of the Climate Action Reserve. The Registry works to solve the problems caused by climate change through the enhancement of reporting requirements. They were 20 members of the California Climate Registry when it was originally formed. This figure ballooned to more than ...

CO2 Gas Analyzers: A Key Player In The 2050 Carbon-Neutral Emissions Target
Globally climate change has become an urgent issue that requires strong measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon neutrality goals. By 2050, as part of a joint effort by countries around the world, we all hope to reach carbon-neutral emissions targets. To achieve this goal, we need to rely on a variety of technologies and tools, among which gas analyzers will play a vital ...

Thermodynamic limitations to nuclear energy deployment as a greenhouse gas mitigation technology
To both replace fossil-fuel-energy use and meet the future energy demands, nuclear energy production would have to increase by 10.5% per year from 2010 to 2050. This large growth rate creates a cannibalistic effect, where nuclear energy must be used to supply the energy for future nuclear power plants. This study showed that the limit of ore grade to offset greenhouse gas emissions is ...

Controlling CO2 Emissions with Agricultural Gas Sensors
Agriculture in the UK is responsible for 9% of total greenhouse gas emissions, with that number rising to 30% of worldwide total emissions.1 There are a variety of sources for such gases in agriculture, including methane production from livestock, carbon dioxide release on soil disturbance, and emissions from farm machinery.2-4 The question is how to reduce such emissions. Under the 2008 Climate ...

Prepare to report climate risks - Pressure mounts on companies to increase required disclosures.
Publicly traded companies are required, under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, to disclose known and contingent material liabilities to ensure investors have reliable information on which to base their investment decisions. Increasingly, investor groups, nongovernment organizations (NGO), and others demand companies assess and disclose their financial risks from climate ...

How to define additionality in relation to greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions
Companies that have facilities which use refrigeration and air-conditioning systems or heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems have to measure changes which are imposed upon them due to greenhouse gas emissions. Additionality is a measure which compares the level of emissions prior to implementation with the levels after a greenhouse gas reduction project has been introduced. ...

PM Biden Administration Takes a Stand: Protecting Federal Assets from Climate Risks
On November 10,2022, the Biden-Harris Administration made a significant move to tackle greenhouse gas emissions and safeguard the Federal Government's supply chains from financial risks linked to climate change. In line with President Biden's Executive Orders on Climate-Related Financial Risk and Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability, the Administration ...

Economic and energy system implications of the European CO2 mitigation strategy for 2010: a model-based analysis
Since the decision of the Council of Ministers of the EU Member States (3 March 1997) specifying a decrease of greenhouse gas emissions by 15% in 2010 compared with the 1990, there has been a widespread study of the appropriate policy instruments and the associated costs. The task of meeting the emissions reduction targets should not be underestimated. Reducing CO2 emissions for the EU as a whole ...

The Allerton Project research into sustainable agriculture with Gasmet gas analyser - Case Study
The Allerton Project is a combination of commercial farming, research, demonstration and community engagement. Based on our 320-hectare demonstration farm in Leicestershire, we research the effects of different farming methods on wildlife and the environment, sharing results of our research through advisory and educational activities. With an increased interest in climate change and targets set ...

Greenhouse gas emissions from sludge treatment reed beds
Sludge treatment reed bed systems (STRBs) are considered as an alternative technology for surplus sludge treatment. Organic matter is decomposed by various microbial reactions, resulting in gases such as CO2 and CH4 emitting into the atmosphere. The aim of this study is to investigate gas emission from STRBs. The static transparent chamber was adopted to measure gas emission; it allows sunlight ...

Different emission estimates by EU bodies
EU GHG inventory submission to UNFCCC (EEA and DG Climate Action) The European Union (EU), as a party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), reports annually on greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories for the years 1990 to X-2 (i.e. two years before the current year1) and within the area covered by its Member States. The legal basis for the compilation of the EU GHG ...

The role of driving in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and oil consumption
Transportation represented 71 percent of oil consumption and 31 percent of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United States in 2008. Therefore, federal transportation policy presents an opportunity to reduce both oil consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This report explores whether technology improvements alone can achieve oil consumption and GHG emissions reduction targets ...

Gas Sensing Solutions for Agriculture Farming
Recently, there has been growing interest in how reducing our individual meat consumption could have a positive impact on greenhouse gas emissions.1 Each day, a single cow can produce as much as 250 – 500 L of methane gas.2 As well as the volume of methane produced being problematic, methane also has a greater warming effect than other greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide due to methane ...
