Download or read book Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories written by Barbara V. Braatz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International concern for the continued growth of greenhouse gas emissions, and the potentially damaging consequences of resultant global climate change, led to the signing of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change by 155 nations at the Earth Summit in June 1992. The Convention came into force on 21 March 1994, three months after receiving its 50th ratification. All Parties to the Convention are required to compile, periodically update, and publish national inventories of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and sinks using comparable methodologies. In support of this process, the US Country Studies Program (US CSP) is providing financial and technical assistance to 56 developing and transition countries for conducting national inventories. This book presents the results of preliminary national inventories prepared by countries participating in the US CSP that are ready to share their interim findings. In some cases, inventories were prepared with support from other organizations. Preliminary inventories of twenty countries in Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States, and Latin America are presented, as well as regional and global syntheses of the national results. The regional and global syntheses also discuss results of eleven other preliminary national inventories that have been published elsewhere with the assistance of other programs. Results are discussed in the context of national and regional socioeconomic characteristics, and the regional and global syntheses compare national inventory estimates to other published estimates that are based largely on international databases. Papers also discuss inventory development issues, such as data collection and emission factor determination, and problems associated with applying the IPCC inventory methodologies. The preliminary inventory results reported here represent significant progress towards meeting country commitments under the Framework Convention, and provide useful information for refining international greenhouse gas emission databases and improving inventory methodologies. As the first book to compile national greenhouse gas emission estimates prepared by national experts in developing countries and countries with economies in transition, this will be an invaluable resource to scientists, policymakers, and development specialists in national, regional and global anthropogenic sources and sinks of greenhouse gases.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Summarizes the GHG control policies in effect or under consideration in the European Union and various other large countries. It emphasizes how particular trade-sensitive sectors may be treated in the context of each national program. All countries examined have in place, or are developing, some enforceable policies that serve to reduce GHG emissions. The wealthiest countries have all taken on GHG limitation or reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol. Some of the emerging economies have voluntarily stated GHG targets, though none have yet accepted legally binding obligations in an international agreement. All have policies that affect carbon dioxide emissions. Charts and tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment of greenhouse gases emitted to and removed from the atmosphere is high on the international political and scientific agendas. Growing international concern and cooperation regarding the climate change problem have increased the need for policy-oriented solutions to the issue of uncertainty in, and related to, inventories of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The approaches to addressing uncertainty discussed here reflect attempts to improve national inventories, not only for their own sake but also from a wider, systems analytical perspective — a perspective that seeks to strengthen the usefulness of national inventories under a compliance and/or global monitoring and reporting framework. These approaches demonstrate the benefits of including inventory uncertainty in policy analyses. The authors of the contributed papers show that considering uncertainty helps avoid situations that can, for example, create a false sense of certainty or lead to invalid views of subsystems. This may eventually prevent related errors from showing up in analyses. However, considering uncertainty does not come for free. Proper treatment of uncertainty is costly and demanding because it forces us to make the step from “simple to complex” and only then to discuss potential simplifications. Finally, comprehensive treatment of uncertainty does not offer policymakers quick and easy solutions.

This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Quick Start Guide helps local government sustainability and planning professionals conduct a greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory that provides a detailed analysis of their community's GHG emissions.This analysis is key to delivering on a number of benefits of climate action: Fiscal: Developing climate and energy strategies can help local governments slash energy costs and save taxpayer dollars. Conducting a GHG emissions inventory will show you exactly where energy is being wasted and identify opportunities to become more efficient. Climate leadership: By taking action now to address climate change, local government and elected officials can be recognized for their leadership on climate and energy issues. Community benefits: Measures to reduce GHG emissions and energy consumption typically have many co-benefits. They can improve air quality and public health, stimulate the local economy, create green jobs, and make communities more livable and walkable. Regulatory preparedness: Although the federal government has yet to produce legislation addressing GHG emissions, a variety of actions at the state and regional levels specifically impact local governments and planning agencies. Taking action now will help your jurisdiction prepare for any future legislative requirements and position your local government for successful compliance. This Guide provides an overview of the development of both local government operations and community scale GHG emissions inventories and forecasts. Conducting these studies can help make government operations more efficient, and limit future impacts that threaten the lives and property of residents and businesses within your community.This Quick Start Guide is the first in a series to assist local governments in understanding and acting to reduce their impact on climate change. The greenhouse gas emissions inventory and forecast is the first step in a framework developed by ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability USA (ICLEI) called the "Five Milestones for Climate Mitigation."

Download or read book Uncertainties in Greenhouse Gas Inventories written by Jean P. Ometto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on the 2014 Special Issue 124(3) of Climatic Change. It brings together 16 key papers presented at, or produced, subsequent to the 2010 (3rd) International Workshop on Uncertainty in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventories. The Workshop was jointly organized by the Lviv Polytechnic National University, Ukraine; the Systems Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences; and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Austria. This book has been written to enhance understanding of the uncertainty encountered in estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and in dealing with the challenges resulting from those estimates. Such challenges include, but are not limited to i) monitoring emissions; ii) adhering to emission commitments; iii) securing the proper functioning of emission trading markets; and iv) meeting low-carbon or low-GHG futures in the long term. The approaches to addressing uncertainty discussed by all authors attempt to improve national inventories, not only for their own sake but also from a wider, systems analytical perspective that seeks to strengthen their usefulness under a compliance and/or global monitoring and reporting framework. These approaches show the challenges and benefits of including inventory uncertainty in policy analysis and where advances are being made.

This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Congress charged the National Academies with conducting a review of the Internal Revenue Code to identify the types of and specific tax provisions that have the largest effects on carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions and to estimate the magnitude of those effects. To address such a broad charge, the National Academies appointed a committee composed of experts in tax policy, energy and environmental modeling, economics, environmental law, climate science, and related areas. For scientific background to produce Effects of U.S. Tax Policy on Greenhouse Gas Emissions, the committee relied on the earlier findings and studies by the National Academies, the U.S. government, and other research organizations. The committee has relied on earlier reports and studies to set the boundaries of the economic, environmental, and regulatory assumptions for the present study. The major economic and environmental assumptions are those developed by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) in its annual reports and modeling. Additionally, the committee has relied upon publicly available data provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which inventories greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from different sources in the United States. The tax system affects emissions primarily through changes in the prices of inputs and outputs or goods and services. Most of the tax provisions considered in this report relate directly to the production or consumption of different energy sources. However, there is a substantial set of tax expenditures called "broad-based" that favor certain categories of consumption-among them, employer-provided health care, owner-occupied housing, and purchase of new plants and equipment. Effects of U.S. Tax Policy on Greenhouse Gas Emissions examines both tax expenditures and excise taxes that could have a significant impact on GHG emissions.

Download or read book A Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory and Emissions Offset Strategies for the University of Wyoming written by Linse N. Anderson and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date over 555 American colleges and universities have committed to achieving climate neutrality. A crucial first step in this process is conducting a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory. Multiple emissions inventory calculators are in use, which may hamper consistency and comparability between institutions. This paper presents the findings of three GHG emissions inventories prepared for the University of Wyoming (UW). The only significant differences among the calculated emissions were those due to air travel. Overall, the findings were not significantly different, which suggests that GHG emissions inventories may be comparable among institutions even when different inventory calculators are used. To achieve the stated goal of climate neutrality as soon as possible, colleges and universities may participate in the international voluntary carbon market to offset emissions that cannot be eliminated through emissions reductions.
