Fossil Fuels without Co2 Emissions: Assessing the Costs of Carbon Dioxide Capture and Sequestration in Us Electricity Markets
The decoupling of fossil-fueled electricity production from atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions via CO2 capture and sequestration (CCS) is increasingly regarded as an important means of mitigating climate change at a reasonable cost. Engineering analyses of CO2 mitigation typically compare the cost of electricity for a base generation technology to that from a similar plant with CO2 capture an...
متن کاملEcosystem carbon emissions from 2015 forest fires in interior Alaska
BACKGROUND In the summer of 2015, hundreds of wildfires burned across the state of Alaska, and consumed more than 1.6 million ha of boreal forest and wetlands in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Mapping of 113 large wildfires using Landsat satellite images from before and after 2015 indicated that nearly 60% of this area was burned at moderate-to-high severity levels. Field measurements near the town ...
متن کاملCarbon emissions from forest conversion by Kalimantan oil palm plantations
Oil palm supplies >30% of world vegetable oil production1. Plantation expansion is occurring throughout the tropics, predominantly in Indonesia, where forests with heterogeneous carbon stocks undergo high conversion rates2–4. Quantifying oil palm’s contribution to global carbon budgets therefore requires refined spatio-temporal assessments of land cover converted to plantations5,6. Here, we rep...
متن کاملHigh-resolution forest carbon stocks and emissions in the Amazon.
Efforts to mitigate climate change through the Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) depend on mapping and monitoring of tropical forest carbon stocks and emissions over large geographic areas. With a new integrated use of satellite imaging, airborne light detection and ranging, and field plots, we mapped aboveground carbon stocks and emissions at 0.1-ha resolution over 4....
متن کاملUncertainty in estimating carbon emissions from boreal forest fires
[ I ] The uncertainty in carbon einissions fi-om fire was esti~nated for the boreal region of Alaska over the 50 years of recorded wildfire. Building on previous work where carbon emissions were estimated using a geographic infonnation systems-based model, the uncertainty attached to the different parameters of the basic equation was assessed and propagated through the equation using Monte Carl...
