Regional or global? The question of low-emission food sourcing addressed with spatial optimization modelling
Does producing staple food locally cause fewer greenhouse gas emissions than food sourced through imports from another continent? To address this question we used a spatial optimization approach that minimized greenhouse gas emissions from production and transport of five food commodities (barley, maize, oil, sugar and wheat) and compared this to a setting of local production where distances be...
متن کاملA Review of Global and Regional Sulfur Emission Scenarios
The paper reviews base year emission inventories, driving forces, and long-term scenarios of sulfur emissions as background material for developing a new set of IPCC emissions scenarios. The paper concludes that future sulfur emission trends will be spatially heterogeneous (decline in OECD countries, rapid increase particularly in Asia) and therefore cannot be modeled at a global scale only. In...
متن کاملGlobal and regional emission estimates for HCFC-22*
HCFC-22 (CHClF2, chlorodifluoromethane) is an ozone-depleting substance (ODS) as well as a significant greenhouse gas (GHG). HCFC-22 has been used widely as a refrigerant fluid in cooling and air-conditioning equipment since the 1960s, and it has also served as a traditional substitute for some chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) controlled under the Montreal Protocol. A low frequency record on troposph...
متن کاملScenario and modelling uncertainty in global mean temperature change derived from emission-driven global climate models
We compare future changes in global mean temperature in response to different future scenarios which, for the first time, arise from emission-driven rather than concentration-driven perturbed parameter ensemble of a global climate model (GCM). These new GCM simulations sample uncertainties in atmospheric feedbacks, land carbon cycle, ocean physics and aerosol sulphur cycle processes. We find br...
متن کاملGlobal and Regional Energy Challenges to 2050 and Beyond: Experiences from Assessing Energy Pathways for Europe
Climate modeling, such as reported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), suggests that reductions of 50-85% in global emissions of CO2 (relative to the emission levels in 2000) are required to enable the stabilization of atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases (GHGs) at 440-490 ppm (~350-400 ppm CO2), corresponding to a global temperature increase in equilibrium of 2.0oC to 2....
