An evaluation of solar powered irrigation as carbon offset projects
Carbon offsets have been developed as one tool to incentivise investments by developed nations in climate change mitigation activities in developing countries. The carbon offsets can be used towards the countries’ own mitigation targets but are also meant to benefit developing countries by providing a pathway to clean development. Photovoltaic water pumping (PVWP) technology is a solution to us...
متن کاملWillingness to Pay of Air Passengers for Carbon-Offset
An important source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is the air transport sector, which accounts for approximately 2% of global GHG emissions. Therefore, reducing GHG emissions from aircrafts has become a major challenge for transportation authorities worldwide. In recent years, much research has focused on tax ideas related to the CO2 emissions produced by air transport, such as...
متن کاملFreshwater methane emissions offset the continental carbon sink.
Inland waters (lakes, reservoirs, streams, and rivers) are often substantial methane (CH(4)) sources in the terrestrial landscape. They are, however, not yet well integrated in global greenhouse gas (GHG) budgets. Data from 474 freshwater ecosystems and the most recent global water area estimates indicate that freshwaters emit at least 103 teragrams of CH(4) year(-1), corresponding to 0.65 peta...
متن کاملConsequences of carbon offset payments for the global forest sector
Long-term effects of policies to induce carbon storage in forests were projected with the Global Forest Products Model. Offset payments for carbon sequestered in forest biomass of $15–$50/t CO2e applied in all countries increased CO2 sequestration in world forests by 5–14 billion tons from 2009 to 2030. Limiting implementation to developed countries exported environmental damage from North to S...
متن کاملUn petit cercle, un grand exemple (دایره‌ای کوچک، سرمشقی بزرگ )
نام هانری کربن با دو دایره گره خورده است: دایرة ارانوس و دایرة تهران؛ دایره‌هایی که مطابق منظر کربن، می‌توان آنها را به‌درستی رمزی و مثالی خواند. این مقاله به دایرة تهران اختصاص دارد، دایره‌ای تحقیقی که با حضور اندیشمندانی چند، و با محوریت دو شخصیت از شرق و غرب، علامه سید محمد حسین طباطبایی و هانری کربن، شکل می‌گرفت. برغم همه مشکلات فنی و فیزیکی ارتباط کلامی، این دو مرد، به خوبی با یکدیگر «مقاب...
