Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon emissions reached an all-time high in 2018, when global carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels increased by about 2.7%, after a 1.6% increase in 2017. Thus, we need to pay special attention to carbon emissions and work out possible solutions if we still want to meet the targets of the Paris climate agreement. This Special Issue collects 16 carbon emissions-related papers (including 5 that are carbon tax-related) and 4 energy-related papers using various methods or models, such as the input–output model, decoupling analysis, life cycle impact analysis (LCIA), relational analysis model, generalized Divisia index model (GDIM), forecasting model, three-indicator allocation model, mathematical programming, real options model, multiple linear regression, etc. The research studies come from China, Taiwan, Brazil, Thailand, and United States. These researches involved various industries such as agricultural industry, transportation industry, power industry, tire industry, textile industry, wave energy industry, natural gas industry, and petroleum industry. Although this Special Issue does not fully solve our concerns, it still provides abundant material for implementing energy conservation and carbon emissions reduction. However, there are still many issues regarding the problems caused by global warming that require research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part green-lifestyle guide, part popular science, How Bad Are Bananas? is the first book to provide the information we need to make carbon-savvy purchases and informed lifestyle choices and to build carbon considerations into our everyday thinking. The book puts our decisions into perspective with entries for the big things (the World Cup, volcanic eruptions, the Iraq war) as well as the small (email, ironing, a glass of beer). And it covers the range from birth (the carbon footprint of having a child) to death (the carbon impact of cremation). Packed full of surprises — a plastic bag has the smallest footprint of any item listed, while a block of cheese is bad news — the book continuously informs, delights, and engages the reader. Solidly researched and referenced, the easily digestible figures, statistics, charts, and graphs (including a section on the carbon footprint of various foods) will encourage discussion and help people to make up their own minds about their consumer choices.

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 2.6, University of Applied Sciences Berlin, course: MBA&E Global Procurement, language: English, abstract: The report is focused on carbon dioxide emissions in the logistics industry. It evaluates some segments of the logistics industry that how carbon dioxide emission is takes place in the logistics operations. Global warming and climate control elements are turning into a genuine worldwide concern. The enactment is turning into a fundamental plan to control the measure of carbon dioxide discharge that may impact the entire world in upcoming years. To figure out this issue, the research is conducted to investigate the methods and policies which support the logistics operation to lessen or control the carbon dioxide emission. The report has some insight that how various logistics factors are responsible to influence the level of carbon dioxide. Furthermore, various opportunities to reduce transportation as well as warehouse-related carbon dioxide emission are identified. With the analysis of different industries, the most promising and feasible methods for logistics operations are determined such as increasing load factor, modal shift, alternative fuels, electric forklifts. In addition to this, analysis of environmental policies is also determined namely carbon emission trading, carbon tax. The impacts on organizations after applications of studied methods and policies have been also reviewed. The research outcome has an overall contribution to green logistics management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenhouse gas emissions have increased markedly since the pre-industrial era and are increasing at such a rate that their concentration in the atmosphere is producing a warming influence on the global climate. In order to make well-informed decisions on ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is important to understand how the different economic sectors contribute to the production of greenhouse gases, which sectors are relatively carbon dioxide (CO2) intensive, and how these patterns have evolved over time. This book analyzes energy-related CO2 emissions and intensities for 349 industries, Government (Federal, state and local), and Households. The 349 industries cover the entire economy, providing information on detailed subsectors within the aggregate sectors of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Mining, Construction, Manufacturing, Transportation Services, and all other services.
