Oil and gas industry operations span the globe, encountering unique operational and business climates in a variety of regions. This reality presents many challenges for companies that are characterizing their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and developing GHG management strategies for diverse multinational facilities. For these companies, the consistency, reliability, and credibility of the meth...

Anaerobic decomposition of organic compounds in landfills is responsible for generation of greenhouse gases. The present study aimed to determine the total gas and methane emission from a landfill located in Hamedan (west of Iran) from 2011 to 2030. LandGEM 3.02 model was used to estimate the gas emission with the volumetric methane percent of 60%, production potential of 107, and methane gener...

Executive Summary Biochar is an increasingly popular topic in environmental management due to its potential effects on several ecosystem functions. Specifically, biochar has been linked to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, including nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and methane when used as a soil amendment. It has also been suggested as a long term mechanism to sequester carbon i...

If unpriced emission of greenhouse gases imposes real costs on future generations, both present and future generations can enjoy a higher consumption of economic goods and services through the correction of this unpriced externality, so there is no real economic opportunity cost to mitigation of global warming. The misperception that control of global warming is costly rests on the mistaken ass...

Greenhouse gas emissions are believed to be the main reason of climate change. Thus, it is essential to limit and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in order to stabilize climate. Short-term policies such as the Kyoto Protocol stipulate emission limitation or reduction commitments. However, it is also, if not more, important to keep an eye on the long-term effects of these policies since it t...

According to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) guidelines, when calculating CO2 emissions, CO2 emissions from biomass should be excluded from the total amount of CO2 emissions and should be separately reported due to their “carbon neutrality”. Sewage sludge is one of the representative biomass fuels. It is mixed with fossil fuels to achieve greenhouse gas reduction or is used...

The Brazilian Amazon is one of the most rapidly developing agricultural areas in the world and represents a potentially large future source of greenhouse gases from land clearing and subsequent agricultural management. In an integrated approach, we estimate the greenhouse gas dynamics of natural ecosystems and agricultural ecosystems after clearing in the context of a future climate. We examine...

According to the IPCC guidelines, CO2 emissions from biomass should be excluded from the entire amount of CO2 emissions when calculating CO2 emissions and should be separately reported due to the “carbon neutrality.” Sewage sludge is one of the representative biomass fuels. And it is mixed with fossil fuels in terms of greenhouse gas reduction or is used as fuel to replace fossil fuels by itsel...

A key aspect of sustainable development in a country is how energy, environment and economic sectors interact. Greenhouse gas emissions and their impacts are among important environmental issues that have been in focus. The increase in the concentration of these gases in atmosphere to levels above the natural level results in global warming, depletion of the Earth’s protective layer against har...

Greenhouse gas emission reduction has become the responsibility and consensus of all mankind’s development, the way of non-sustainable land use results in a lot of greenhouse gas emissions in the context of low-carbon economy. On the basis of revealing impact of land use on carbon emissions and status of carbon emissions, this paper proposes the regulation proposals of land use based on low-car...
