Abstract:
... The temporal variation of greenhouse gas concentrations in China during the COVID-19 lockdown in China is analyzed in this work using high resolution measurements of near surface △CO₂, △CH₄ and △CO concentrations above the background conditions at Lin'an station (LAN), a regional background station in the Yangtze River Delta region. During the pre-lockdown observational period (IOP-1), both △CO₂ a ...

Abstract:
... High phosphorus steel slag and carbonized rice husk are two common wastes characterized by high generation and low secondary use values. Through the reduction of high phosphorus steel slag by biomass, both wastes were fully utilized, thus reducing the negative impact on the environment. In this study, variables such as temperature, time, and amount of reactants were changed to determine the optima ...

Abstract:
... I propose a model of firm heterogeneity and limited managerial commitment within an industrial equilibrium, where firms use natural resource and produce greenhouse gases. Firms are allowed to merge and commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas levels produce climate shocks that can close firms. Three hypotheses are produced from the model that are empirically verified. First, fir ...

Abstract:
... Aeration has been widely used in constructed wetland (CWs). However, research on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and measures to control GHG emissions in aerated CWs is still limited. Therefore, lab-scale aerated CWs were established in this study to explore effects of Fe–C and zeolite on GHG emissions from aerated CWs. Four groups of CWs were filled with gravel (CW-A), zeolite (CW–B), ferric-carbo ...

Abstract:
... Genetically modified (GM) crops can help reduce agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In addition to possible decreases in production emissions, GM yield gains also mitigate land-use change and related emissions. Wider adoption of already-existing GM crops in Europe could result in a reduction equivalent to 7.5% of the total agricultural GHG emissions of Europe. ...

Here, we bring attention to one policy that can effectively induce ZEV sales in the long term: a ZEV sales mandate. Although three decades have passed since the first mandate was implemented in California, there is surprisingly little re ...

The steel industry is responsible for a large share of the industrial energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and several long-term energy models have some representation of this sub-sector. It is found that models, commonly use a flow-based approach for projecting steel demand neglecting that in-use steel stocks serve as a better demand indicator than steel consumption. A stock-based meth ...

Abstract:
... In several countries, mining taxes are applied as a mechanism to collect resources but without adequately evaluating their economic impacts. From a theoretical perspective, the implementation of royalties can be justified in the non-renewable nature of mining resources. In contrast, Pigouvian taxes aim to make productive activities internalize their environmental damages. This study illustrates th ...

Abstract:
... Methane (CH₄) is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide (CO₂), but its global warming potential is 21–28 times that of CO₂. Coal mining accounts for 9% of global CH₄ emissions, among which 60–70% is contributed by ventilation air methane (VAM). Currently the simplest way to reduce CH₄ emissions from ventilation air is to thermally oxidize it to CO₂; however the low and chang ...
