A 2030 climate and energy policy framework was endorsed by the European Council in 2014. The main elements are a binding 40 % greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target compared to 1990, a renewable energy share of 27 %, and an energy savings target of at least 27 % by 2030. In this paper, we assess the impact of these targets on the European land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) sector u...

The purpose of this study is to conduct the financial and emission analysis of the Lahendong site as a case study of geothermal powerplant in Indonesia. The outputs of energy model in RETScreen worksheet are power capacity, electricity generation, annual GHG emission reduction, the Internal Rate Return (IRR) and payback period. The sensitivity analyses also were carried out at two scenarios (no...

An Industrial and Enterprise Greenhouse Gas Emission Data Analysis System, which meets with the need of those giant energy-consuming enterprises, has been set up through a series of studies about Greenhouse gas (GHG) verification method in industries such as cement, thermal power, cogeneration, transportation, sewage treatment etc. The analysis system consists of six modules: Organization struc...

The emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) during feedlot manure composting reduces the agronomic value of the final compost and increases the greenhouse effect. A study was conducted to determine whether GHG emissions are affected by composting method. Feedlot cattle manure was composted with two aeration methods--passive (no turning) and active (turned six times). Carbon lost in the forms of CO2 ...

PREFACE The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) initiated preparation of this Protocol as part of its commitment to assist the PFC Emissions Reduction/Climate Partnership for the Semiconductor Industry (the Partnership) to achieve its voluntary fluorinated greenhouse gas (F-GHG) emission reduction and reporting goals. F-GHGs include the most powerful and often persistent greenhouse gase...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) benchmarking for allocation serves as rewards for early actions in mitigating GHG emissions by using more advanced technologies. China Hubei launched the carbon emission trading pilot in 2014, with the cement industry represented as a major contributor to the GHG emissions in Hubei. This article is set to establish a general benchmarking framework by describing and calculat...

The possibility of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by ruminants using improved grazing is investigated by estimating GHG emissions for cow-calf farms under light continuous (LC), heavy continuous (HC) and rotational grazing, also known as multi-paddock (MP), management strategies in Southern Great Plain (SGP) using life cycle assessment (LCA). Our results indicated a GHG emission with t...

Appropriate agricultural practices for carbon sequestration and emission mitigation have a significant influence on global climate change. However, various agricultural practices on farmland carbon sequestration usually have a major impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is very important to accurately quantify the effect of agricultural practices. This study developed a platform-the Deni...

Climate change, a societal challenge for the European Union, is affecting all regions in Europe and has a profound impact on society and environment. It is now clear that the present global warming period is due to the strong anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, occurring at an unprecedented rate. Therefore, the identification and control of the greenhouse gas sources has a great releva...

Purpose – Urban areas are responsible for significant amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but cities can have quite different values of carbon footprints. The purpose of this paper is to identify the determinants of urban GHG emissions in order to explain these differences. Design/methodology/approach – Seven global cities – Bangkok, Chicago, London, Madrid, Mexico City, Milan and New Yo...
