Subject:
calcium; carbon dioxide; cement; energy; energy recovery; manufacturing; models; raw materials; specific energy
Abstract:
... In this paper, an assessment of the viability of 3 CO₂ capture technologies for the cement industry is performed; post-combustion absorptive capture (MEA) and oxy-combustion options are concepts already used by other industries and currently explored by the power sector; calcium looping post-combustion capture technology (CL) is an emerging technology that has not been assessed before in a compara ...

Subject:
carbon; carbon footprint; climate change; crop production; endpoint indicator; energy; greenhouse gas emissions; greenhouse gases; greenhouses; heat; horticulture; markets; models; production technology; tomatoes; transportation; vegetable industry; water footprint
Abstract:
... There is growing interest in carbon footprints of products but for horticulture water use can also be important, hence we studied both for fresh tomatoes supplied to the Sydney market. Carbon and water footprints for each kg of fresh tomato supplied to Sydney depend on the season and the type of production system (ranging from 0.39 to 1.97 kg CO₂e; 5 to 53 L). Energy use of the systems was also re ...

Journal of cleaner production 2012 v.32 pp. 124-140
ISSN:

Subject:
carbon dioxide; carbon footprint; climate change; electricity; emissions; energy; hydroelectric power; issues and policy; life cycle assessment; lignite; power plants; solar energy; wind power; Greece
Abstract:
... The aim of the present work is to estimate the carbon footprint of the Greek electricity sector and the associated damages. This is being realized by quantifying the external cost related with the climate change airborne emissions (i.e. carbon dioxide) generated during all stages of the power plants life cycle in Greece. For this purpose, the paper applies the EcoSenseLE tool, together with the ba ...

Subject:
coasts; energy; oils; politics; territoriality; Azerbaijan; Caspian Sea; Mediterranean Sea; Republic of Georgia
Abstract:
... This article utilizes a Global Production Network (GPN) approach to explore how the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline in the Caspian Sea is shaping regional social, economic, political, and environmental development. The BTC pipeline now delivers more than one million barrels of oil per day from the Azeri–Chirag–Gunashli fields in the Caspian Sea off the coast of Baku, Azerbaijan, through Geo ...
