Abstract:

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research report aims to determine whether an emissions trading scheme or carbon tax is the most suitable market-based emissions reduction mechanism for South Africa, given its multiple environmental, social and economic objectives. Key factors considered in this comparison include: environmental effectiveness; economic efficiency; social welfare impacts; public finance considerations; administrative complexity and costs; and, finally, the relationship to global greenhouse gas reduction mechanisms. These factors are compared in the short and long term to determine w

Abstract:

This research focuses on carbon emission-reduction issues in an area where the government imposes emission-reduction policies on local manufacturers. Policymaking problems for the government and production planning problems for the manufacturers are investigated with Operations Research/Management Science (OR/MS) approaches. Two types of emission-reduction policies, including emission-cap regulation policy and emission cap-and-trade scheme, are addressed. We first discuss manufacturers' long-term strategic decision problem under the government-imposed emission-cap regulation policy. With the o

Abstract:

Due to energy scarcity coupled with environment issues, it is likely to see the biggest shift in generation portfolio in the UK and world wide, stimulated by various governmental incentives policies for promoting renewable generation and reducing emission. The generation expansion in the future will be driven by not only peak demand growth but also emission reduction target. Thus, the traditional generation expansion planning (GEP) model has to be improved to reflect this change against the new environment. The policy makers need a better assessment tool to facilitate the new environment, so t

The Kyoto Protocol is one of the most important international climate change treaties aimed at fighting global warming. On January 1st 2005, the protocol was enforced with its first commitment period 2008-2012. However, the effectiveness of reducing CO2 emission has long been debated. The purpose of this thesis is to empirically as-sess the impact of the Kyoto Protocol on carbon dioxide reduction across countries, whether the protocol led significant difference after entering force in 2005. The data used in this thesis cover 37 Annex B countries and 148 non-annex B countries from 1990 to 2007.

Abstract:

Utilization of waste as fuel for heat and power production is commonplace in Sweden, and the fossil emissions from the incineration of waste is primarily derived from the share of plastics in the fuel. Reducing the share of fossil material in the fuel should therefore lead to diminished local emissions. Alternatively, district heating with waste incineration have potential for implementation of CCS technology, that have the possibility to create negative emissions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of emission reduction and cost efficiency for three different measures that

Abstract Most of the steel produced in the world is based on the integrated blast furnace-converter route, which is based on the use of virgin raw materials. Large amounts of fossil-based, carbon containing reductants are used in blast furnaces, which results in carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Fossil carbon dioxide emissions from steel production can be reduced by new technologies or moving from non-renewable to renewable energy sources. Biomass-based reductants could be one way to reduce the specific emissions from blast furnace-based steel production. The aim of this thesis was

Abstract:

Soft soils are deposited globally, especially in estuarine or coastal areas. In recent years, the land resource has lessened due to rapid urbanisation and population growth around the globe. It is crucial to develop land on poor ground conditions to solve the issue of land shortage due to urbanisation. South East Queensland is a particular region where soft soils are widely deposited. More construction is expected to be carried out on its soft soil deposits as the urbanisation continues. However, the existence of soft soils can cause construction complications because of the following reasons:

In the process industries, energy systems consume fuel to generate steam and power for site process units.

Climate change is an occurring event and is largely caused by human activities, such as the production of energy from fossil fuels (NRC, 2010). Buildings are seen as one of the highest consuming sectors of energy and therefore present many potential climate change mitigation opportunities.

Abstract:

The debate over the most efficient way to manage the adversities of climate change has intensified over recent years. Regardless of whether there are formal emissions reduction policies in place, such as carbon taxes or emissions trading schemes, there is a clear focus on the promotion of less emissions intensive activities, particularly in the area of energy generation. Combined heat and power (CHP) systems are chosen for study, as they are a proven technology that is known historically for their low environmental impact in the energy generation sector. In this thesis, a methodology has been

Abstract:

Climate change is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, as it threatens the survival of human civilisation. With the increasing number of initiatives trying to address climate change, it is important to examine how effective they are and what other roles these initiatives can serve in transitioning society towards sustainability. This thesis investigates the role of one such initiative, carbon neutrality, within a strategic approach to sustainable development, based on the case study of the North American Credit Union (NACU). A scientific understanding of climate change an

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR<br>A existência de um mercado para reduções de emissões de gases de efeito estufa cria uma nova variável a ser considerada na avaliação econômica de empreendimentos florestais: a absorção de CO2. O seqüestro desse gás gera um fluxo de dividendos que se transforma em uma fonte adicional de receita, influenciando as decisões gerenciais tomadas pelo administrador florestal. O presente trabalho estuda como se dá essa influência sobre o melhor momento de se efetuar o corte das árvores. O empreendimento florestal estudado é uma flor

Abstract:

The UK’s policy commitment to an 80% reduction in CO₂ levels over 1990 levels by 2050 has framed much recent research and debates between policy-makers and industry about whether and how a transition to a low-carbon future can be achieved. The technical potential for improved energy efficiency and installation of low- and zero-carbon generation technologies in the built environment is, in theory, large enough to achieve the emissions reduction targets in this economic sector but it requires a step-change in technology deployment, with less well studied implications for the industry actors who
