Carbon Trading in the European Union: `Calculation` vs `Measurement`
This paper describes the main provisions for Monitoring and Reporting under the European Union’s Emission Trading System (EU ETS). For the largest installations, the ‘Calculation’ approach is based on the measured fuel consumption, fuel carbon content and oxidation factor (completeness of combustion). The latest phase of the EU ETS attempts to put the alternative ...

Comparative Evaluation of Test Methods for Reciprocating Engines; EPA Reference Methods vs. Portable Analyzer
Abstract This is a comparative evaluation of errors in testing engines using reference methods and portable analyzers. New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) Air Quality Bureau has published a guidance document, Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), Use of Portable Analyzers in Performance Tests. EPA provides guidance on reference method testing in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A. This document is based ...

WTO law and international emissions trading: Is there potential for conflict?
In order to meet their emission reduction targets with minimum adverse effects on their economies, it is highly likely that UNFCCC Annex I governments will pursue emission reduction policies in such a way as to require of foreign products to mirror the “climate costs” of their production processes or to favour domestic “climate friendly” producers over foreign ones. Such treatments could occur in ...

Effect of water addition on the exergy balances of an LPG fuelled spark ignition engine
In this paper, we investigate the effect of water addition on the exergy balance of a conventional engine. The present work is an analytical study depending on experimental measurements. A four-cylinder, LPG fuelled SI engine is used in this work, and water injection through intake manifold is used for water addition. The cylinder pressure versus crank angle, and water, air and fuel flow rates ...

Investigation of detector tube impacting in the Ringhals-1 BWR
Neutron noise measurements were made in two consecutive fuel cycles in the Swedish BWR Ringhals-1 with the purpose of diagnostics of vibrations and impacting of detector strings. Two diagnostic tools were used, first a traditional spectral analysis and second a wavelet-based method. Both types of methods have been used in the past, but not simultaneously during one fuel cycle. In addition, a new ...

Support for fossil fuels remains high but the time is ripe for change
Government support to fossil fuel consumption and production in OECD countries and key emerging economies remains high, at USD 160-200 billion annually, according to a new OECD report. This support is hampering global efforts to curb emissions and combat climate change. The OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels 2015 takes stock of almost 800 spending programmes and tax breaks used ...

Analysis methods for the determination of possible unseated fuel assemblies in BWRs
This paper describes noise-based methods, the purpose of which is to determine whether the core of a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) contains unseated fuel assembly(ies) or not. The characteristic feature of an unseated fuel assembly is to render the corresponding fuel channel thermal-hydraulically unstable since some of the coolant bypasses the fuel channel. The induced neutron noise has a strong ...

Toxicity of fuel contaminated soil to antarctic moss and terrestrial algae
Fuel pollution is a significant problem in Antarctica, especially in areas where human activities occur, such as at scientific research stations. Despite this, there is little information on the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on Antarctic terrestrial biota. This paper demonstrates that the Antarctic mosses Bryum pseudotriquetrum, Schistidium antarctici, Ceratodon purpureus and the Antarctic ...

EPA mandatory reporting of GHGs rule
Recent EPA Guidance EPA does not intend for the calibration requirements of 98.3(i) to apply to any units where the rule allows the use of “company records” to quantify fuel usage or other parameters; however, a facility’s GHG monitoring plan must include descriptions of the procedures and methods used for quality assurance, maintenance, repair of all flow meters and any ...

An experimental investigation of the performance and emissions characteristics of a direct injection compression ignition engine running with LPG
Existing diesel engines are under stringent emission regulation particularly of smoke and particulate matter in their exhaust. The potential benefits of using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as an alternative fuel in diesel engines are both economical and environmental. In the present paper an experimental research was carried out on an I.C. engine laboratory single cylinder, four-stroke variable ...

Things to Know Before Choosing a White Label GPS Tracking Software
White Labeling has become a popular term in the fleet management industry. It refers to a process where a product of one company is rebranded by another company to make it look like their own. The rebranded product is sold to the clients by resellers. It is a win-win situation for the manufacturer and the resellers as both derive profit from it. Nowadays, White label GPS tracking software is ...

Measurement method for determination of the ratio of biogenic and fossil-derived CO2 in stack gas
ABSTRACT In this paper, we present a measurement method for sampling and analysis of the ratio of biogenic and fossil-derived CO2 in stack gases from the combustion of mixed fossil and biogenic fuels. The measurement method was developed as a part of a project performed for Energinet.dk and the association of waste incineration and treatment plants in Denmark. The methodology for sampling and ...
