Technological potentials for CO2 emission reduction in the global iron and steel industry
The goal of this paper is to quantify baseline emissions and to analyse CO2 global emission reduction potentials in the iron and steel life cycle. First the paper discusses current CO2 emissions in the global iron and steel industry. Next, the global emission reduction potentials are analysed. According to this study, global CO2 emissions in the life cycle of iron and steel amounted to 2100-2450 ...

Diesel Oxidation Catalyst for Locomotive - Skagway-Alaska
ABSTRACT A DCL catalytic converter was tested on a locomotive engine at Skagway, Alaska. The converter was found to have very good conversion efficiency of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and odor across the operating conditions. PURPOSE The purpose of this test was to evaluate the emissions performance of a DCL catalytic converter unit installed on a passenger locomotive tractor. The ...

Economic Evaluation of Quantitative Objectives for Climate Change
This study identifies the least-cost packages of specific policies and measures for meeting the Community's quantitative reduction targets for greenhouse gases under the Kyoto Protocol. The study analyses separately carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide emissions, and how the different sectors of the economy (i.e. power production, industry, tertiary-domestic, transport, waste sector and ...

FTIR Emissions Analyser helps manage UK Power Station
A Gasmet FTIR multiparameter emissions monitor at Thetford power station is being used to demonstrate that the plant is performing within the conditions of its environmental permit. However, the data from the analyser, which was supplied by Gasmet’s UK distributor Quantitech, also performs a vitally important role in helping to manage the plant. “Individual gas readings are displayed ...

Modelling trade and climate change policy: a strategic framework for global environmental negotiators
In the past, failure of trade–climate talks might have created negative signs, but international trade actually induces more participation and helps to attain joint agreement. Carbon permit trading has a key role to play in the abatement process. Participation in global multilateral negotiations and a country's self-interest with respect to entering an abatement process depends upon either ...

Options to Reduce Methane Emissions
This study analyses methane emissions in the EU and strategies to control them. It considers options for the reduction of emissions from each of the main source sectors, agriculture, waste, coal mining and the oil and gas industry, and assesses costs and applicability of the mitigation options available to produce cost curves for reducing emissions. The study also makes projections of methane ...

Evaluating emission mitigation strategies for sustainable transportation system: a system dynamics approach
The sustainable development of urban transportation system demands a trade–off between economic, social, demographic, geographic, and political concerns. To address these concerns there is a need of induction of viable transportation policies. In order to examine, the effect of these policies, a system dynamics modelling framework has been presented. A simulation model has been developed to ...

A post-Kyoto analysis with the ERIS model prototype
Electricity generation technologies are examined in a global context with a multi-regional version of the ERIS model prototype with endogenous technological learning curves, developed within the EU/TEEM project. Impacts of Kyoto-like CO2 constraints are analysed considering the effects of allowing or not trade of emission permits. Complementary stochastic analyses addressing the uncertainty of ...

Assessment of riverine load of contaminants to European seas under policy implementation scenarios: An example with three pilot substances
An evaluation of conventional emission scenarios is carried out targeting a possible impact of EU policies on riverine loads to the European seas for three pilot pollutants: Lindane, Trifluralin and Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). The policy scenarios are investigated to the time horizon of year 2020 starting from chemical specific reference conditions and considering different types of ...

Slurry acidification at Lauku Agro has begun - science is up next
Slurry acidification has officially begun at Lauku Agro farm in Latvia.. The milestone was marked by an inauguration event where. stakeholders and other interested parties gathered to see the recently. acquired slurry acidification equipment. Slurry Acidification Techniques (SATs) can be divided to in-house, in-storage and in-field techniques. As a part of the investment plan of the Baltic ...

Characterisation of the recalcitrant organic compounds in leachates formed during the anaerobic biodegradation of waste
This study investigates the use of UV absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy to assess the early development of recalcitrant organic compounds in leachates formed during the anaerobic biodegradation of municipal solid waste. Biochemical methane potential tests were carried out on fresh waste (FW) and composted waste (CW) over a period of 150 days and leachates produced from the degradation of ...

Understanding energy saving and CO2 reduction in wastewater treatment plants
Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) have to deal with the issue of energy saving and/or CO2 reduction. Aeration, sludge return, chemical dosing, sludge reduction, sludge digestion, etc. could indeed have some function on this issue. On the other hand, controlled processes of COD and nutrient conversions could also be of benefit to the issue. With this paper, the relationship between energy ...

In-situ moisture content measurement of landfill cover using Time Domain Reflectometry
The amount of methane that vent from landfills is dependent on the physical, chemical and biological components of the soil cover; moisture content and temperature of the soil being the major controlling factors. Previous studies have attempted to correlate moisture content and temperature with methane emission by collecting soil samples from landfill soil covers and analysing it in the ...

Remediation of MSW landfill leachate by permeable reactive barrier with vegetation
This research was conducted to investigate in situ treatment of leachate by pilot-scale permeable reactive barrier (PRB) with vegetation. Two different types of PRB media, with and without the presence of ferric chloride sludge, for the removal of pollutants were examined. The composite media of PRB comprised a clay and sand mixture of 40:60%w/w (system 1) and a clay, ferric chloride ...

How big a problem are methane emissions and what can we do about it?
Methane emissions and their climate effects have been given an increasing amount of attention over the last few years from academia, industry and policy makers. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have lead the way in proposing new performance standards to reduce methane emissions from the natural gas industry by 40% by 2025 from 2005 levels. But how much of a climate problem really is ...

If a major economy takes the lead, warming could be limited to 2°C
Though most countries around the globe agree that warming must be limited to 2 degrees Celsius to avoid the raft of climate risks, they clash about who should do what to reach this target. Hence the issue of allocating greenhouse-gas emissions reductions will be key for the outcome of the world climate summit COP21 in Paris. Scientists now found what amount of emissions reductions it takes for a ...
