Greenhouse Gas Emissions Control
Most of the time, people think about Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions with carbon dioxide, which is the most common of the GHGs. While fairly typical, carbon dioxide isn’t the only GHG U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates. Since EPA has begun regulating GHG emissions under its Clean Air Act authority, sources of emissions from others may require add-on air pollution control ...

Comprehensive analysis of greenhouse gas emissions in Hungary
This paper overviews the anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions in Hungary in the period 1985–95. The emissions have been determined and reported according to the IPCC methodologies. The emissions of greenhouse gases decreased until 1994, basically as a result of the economic recession. Hungary has chosen the yearly average emission level of 1985–87 as the base level. In 1994, greenhouse gas ...

Greenhouse Gas Reductions from Demand-Side Management
This paper discusses greenhouse gas reductions gained through demand-side management programs. Demand-side management programs are designed to educate consumers to reduce energy consumption by improving energy efficiency and modifying energy use levels. These programs conducted by utilities result in decreased amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. However, utilities are often restricted from using ...

Greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe 2009
This report presents an analysis of historic and projected trends of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. It assesses the current and projected progress of EU Member States, EU candidate countries and other EEA member countries towards their respective targets under the Kyoto Protocol and under EU commitments for 2020. This analysis is based on greenhouse gas emissions inventories for 1990 to ...

Russia's energy in the first half of the 21st century: forecasts, trends, problems
The paper deals with a quantitative estimation of Russia's energy development in the first half of the 21st century. It shows the potential structural changes in the fuel and energy complex (FEC) of the country and the resulting dynamics of greenhouse gas emission growth.Keywords: fuel and energy complex, energy resources, problems, greenhouse gas emission, ...

Measuring Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Recent reports on the measurement of greenhouse gas emissions have shown that CO2 levels within the atmosphere are steadily rising. The UN has consistently promoted the use of renewable energies for the control of atmospheric conditions. These need to be steadily monitored and in order to do so it is essential that cheap, robust, and accurate sensors are available for the acquisition of reliable ...

Global warming, and role of supplementary cementing materials and superplasticisers in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the manufacturing of portland cement
This paper discusses some aspects of global-warming, and the role of supplementary cementing materials and superplasticisers in reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. The data are presented as to the CO2 emissions per capita per year from various countries. Also, the relative information is given on the availability of cement and supplementary cementing materials worldwide. The ...

`Greenhouse Gas Reductions from Demand-Side Management,` presented at the 2004 AWMA annual conference
Abstract This paper discusses greenhouse gas reductions gained through demand-side management programs. Demand-side management programs are designed to educate consumers to reduce energy consumption by improving energy efficiency and modifying energy use levels. These programs conducted by utilities result in decreased amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. However, utilities are often ...

Preliminary research of health and environmental impacts and greenhouse gas emission from coal-fired power and nuclear power chains in China
The present paper treats health, environmental impacts and greenhouse gas emission resulting from both the coal-fired power chain and nuclear power chain in China. The nuclear power chain resulted in adverse health impacts 3-4 orders of magnitude lower than those from the coal-fired power chain, also radiological emissions were 1-2 orders of magnitude lower. Estimated greenhouse gas emission ...

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 ...

EU emissions reduction strategy
The task To work with ECOFYS in the Netherlands and NTUA in Greece to identify ways to help the European Union reduce greenhouse gas emissions. How we helped Under the Kyoto Protocol, the European Union agreed that, by 2010, greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by 8% compared with 1990 levels. AEA Energy & Environment* was asked by the European Commission to identify how the ...

The UK nuclear option
The UK faces the need to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. A decision has yet to be made to replace its currently retiring nuclear reactors with modern reactors, yet time is pressing if the UK is to meet its emission target and ensure security of its future energy supply.Keywords: nuclear power, nuclear energy, nuclear waste, nuclear economics, nuclear proliferation, UK energy policy, UK ...

Climate change mitigation by recovery of energy from the water cycle: a new challenge for water management
Waternet is responsible for drinking water treatment and distribution, wastewater collection and treatment, and surface water management and control (quality and quantity) in and around Amsterdam. Waternet has the ambition to operate climate neutral in 2020. To realise this ambition, measures are required to compensate for the emission of 53,000 ton CO2-eq/year. Energy recovery from the water ...

Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule - The Regulatory Permitting Climate Forecast is Getting Hot
The EPA is moving forward in regulating Greenhouse Gas emissions and has published the reporting rule and its final rule to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from stationary sources. If you are a major source under the prevention of significant deterioration program or a major source under Title V you will be subject to this rule. GHGs are gases that play a major role in ...

Reducing terrestrial greenhouse gas emissions: a human dimensions contribution
This paper describes achievements from the human dimensions research within New Zealand's 'Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Terrestrial Biosphere' programme, in three parts: (i) regional responses to climate change policy development, (ii) indigenous groups, land use and climate change, and (iii) participation in the Land Use in Rural New Zealand (LURNZ) model development. We then ...

Extensions to the emission trading system in Spain
Climate change is the subject of debate these days derived from the Copenhagen Summit, where the major commitments and agreements have been discussed. In any case, the commitment within the EU is strong and clear for the immediate future. The commitments to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases within the EU framework have as their main flagship the Emission Trading System (ETS) regime established ...

Legal developments related to greenhouse gas emissions
The prospects for new regulations on greenhouse gas emissions have evolved from a possibility to an inevitability, according to the authors of this article. They say the greatest potential for new regulations on greenhouse gas emissions is emerging from existing laws--most particularly, the Clean Air Act. The authors, noting that state regulatory efforts and successes in the courts have set the ...

Impact of energy efficiency upgrade retrofits on the residential energy consumption and Greenhouse Gas emissions in Canada
The impact of various energy efficiency upgrade scenarios on the annual energy consumption and Greenhouse Gas emissions of the Canadian housing stock is assessed using the Canadian Residential Energy End-use Model (CREEM). The energy efficiency upgrade scenarios that are considered include major retrofits, such as the improvement of the house envelope by adding insulation, and the replacement of ...

Renewable energy and sustainable development in Hungary
This paper presents an overview of the use of renewable energy in Hungary. It analyses the role of renewables in the sustainable development of the country and in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Although Hungary is rich in geothermal sources, the use of renewable energy sources is not economically viable in the country compared with traditional energy sources. In Hungary, only biomass ...
