A short guide to carbon offsetting
نویسندگان
چکیده
Offsetting greenhouse gas emissions will be required in the short term while construction industry develops zero-carbon materials. Will Arnold summarises key considerations for engineers looking to offset a project’s emissions.

Carbon offsetting: sustaining consumption?
In this paper we examine how theories of sustainable and ethical consumption help us to understand a new, rapidly expanding type of consumer product designed to mitigate climate change: carbon offsets. The voluntary carbon offset market grew by 200% between 2005 and 2006, and there are now over one hundred and fifty retailers of voluntary carbon offsets worldwide. Our analysis concentrates on t...
متن کاملA short guide to phylogeny reconstruction
This review is a short introduction to phylogenetic analysis. Phylogenetic analysis allows comprehensive understanding of the origin and evolution of species. Generally, it is possible to construct the phylogenetic trees according to different features and characters (e.g. morphological and anatomical characters, RAPD patterns, FISH patterns, sequences of DNA/RNA, and amino acid sequences). The...
متن کاملA Short Guide to Debris Disk Spectroscopy
Multi-wavelength spectroscopy can be used to constrain the dust and gas properties in debris disks. Circumstellar dust absorbs and scatters incident stellar light. The scattered light is sometimes resolved spatially at visual and near-infrared wavelengths using high contrast imaging techniques that suppress light from the central star. The thermal emission is inferred from infrared through subm...
متن کاملA Short Guide to Approximation Preserving Reductions
Comparing the complexity of different combinatorial optimization problems has been an extremely active research area during the last 23 years. This has led to the definition of several approximation preserving reducibilities and to the development of powelful reduction techniques. We first review the main approximation preserving reducibilities that have appeared in the literature and suggest w...
متن کاملA Practical Guide to a Prosperous, Low-carbon Europe Roadmap 2050 a Practical Guide to a Prosperous, Low-carbon Europe
In July 2009, the leaders of the European Union and the G8 announced an objective to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. In October 2009 the European Council set the appropriate abatement objective for Europe and other developed economies at 80-95% below 1990 levels by 2050. In support of this objective, the European Climate Foundation (ECF) initiated a st...
