World power and gas markets have a natural relationship with global tradable carbon permits markets, including the U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments and the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, the latter officially launched in January 2005. Electric utilities operate their power plants based in part on the price of the power …
Making cement is energy-intensive. Energy accounts for a significant portion of the cost of producing cement. Most technological advancement, unsurprisingly, has been directed towards reducing its consumption. Unlike other industries in India, in which technological levels lag behind the best in the world, the cement industry is state of the …
signatures of the past, embedded deep inside polar ice, reveal that the current levels of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (co2) and methane, are the highest over the last 650,000 years. An international team of scientists studied air bubbles trapped in cylindrical pieces drilled from a depth of up …
fresh data released by the European Environment Agency (eea) indicate that meeting greenhouse gas (ghg) emission cuts set by the Kyoto Protocol (kp), the global treaty to fight climate change, might be an uphill task for the European Union (eu) nations. Their ghg emissions rose by 1.3 per cent from …
the muted debate on whether the emissions trading scheme (ets) should apply to the eu 's aviation sector took a controversial turn recently. eu environment commissioner Stavros Dimas termed a proposal by the uk's largest airport owner, baa, to integrate the sector into ets as a "possibility that merits serious …
www.opendemocracy.net/forums/ Let's get wise Many organisation around the world are coming up with innovative ways to lower emissions of greenhouse gases. The web portal openDemocracy's My ZeroCarbonCity project invites visitors to put in their views on reducing emissions f these gases. "What would your ideal climate-friendly city look like? Would …
The purpose of the project activity is to set up 5,500 biogas plants (digesters) of 2m3 capacity each for single households. Each household will utilize the dung of its cows to feed the digester for the production of biogas for cooking purpose and heating of hot water. The aim of …
if people in Africa were to switch to charcoal as cooking fuel from wood, it would not only significantly reduce greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions but also save millions of lives, claim researchers. Led by Dan Kammen of the University of California, Berkeley, the scientists calculated the health and environmental effects …
thanks to a new us study, the science of climate change may no longer be abused by nations to shrug off responsibility of reducing greenhouse emissions. Scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have produced the first clear evidence of human-produced global warming in …
South Asian emissions of fossil fuel SO2 and black carbon increased 6-fold since 1930, resulting in large atmospheric concentrations of black carbon and other aerosols. This period also witnessed strong negative trends of surface solar radiation, surface evaporation, and summer monsoon rainfall. These changes over India were accompanied by an …

on february 16, the Kyoto Protocol to combat global warming became law, binding industrialised nations to reduce by 2012 their greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions to 5.2 per cent below the 1990 levels. A flexible trading mechanism for emissions provided for in the treaty also opens up opportunities for developing countries …
The authors analyzed the dynamics of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from household fuel use in sub-Saharan Africa from 2000 to 2050. The scenarios included a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario, in which fuel consumption and tree-harvesting practices change little except through population growth and urbanization, and large-scale shifts to charcoal- and petroleum-based …
The Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) produced families of 21st century greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trajectories that aim to be consistent with current knowledge and span a wide range of plausible futures. This study performs a standard econometric analysis on the simulation model outputs from six SRES scenarios to …
What should be the price of natural gas in India? Till now, gas was pumped by the public sector company, the Oil and Natural Gas Commission and piped and sold by another public sector concern, the Gas Authority of India Limited. The government administered the price. But with private players …
The first-ever greenhouse gas (ghg) emission reductions purchase agreement has been signed by China recently. Under the pact, Jincheng Anthracite Coal Group Company Limited will capture coalmine methane and use it for generating power at the Sihe coal mine in Jincheng city of Shanxi province. The project will be part …
This report examines greenhouse gas emissions at the global, national, sectoral, and fuel levels and identifies implications of the data for international cooperation on global climate change. Emissions are assessed within the broader socioeconomic context faced by countries, inclduing factors such as economic output, population size, trade, investment, and sectoral …
The rice-wheat annual double cropping system occupies an estimated 0.5 million hectares in Nepal where it provides food for about 23 million people. Current production levels of both rice and wheat are far below their reported potential with N-deficiency being the major production constraint. Pot and field experiments were conducted …
