Download or read book Greenhouse Policies and the Australian Aluminium Industry written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1990 the Commonwealth government adopted an interim planning target of stabilising emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide at 1988 levels by the year 2000 and reducing these emissions by 20 per cent by 2005. In setting these targets, the government has indicated that Australia will not adopt measures which would have net adverse economic impacts nationally or would damage Australia's trade competitiveness in the absence of similar action by major greenhouse gas producing countries. Subsequent research and policy debate on the economic implications of greenhouse policy has focused on the aggregate impacts on the Australian economy of various policies. Relatively little attention has been paid to the potential impacts on specific industries. Assessment of such impacts will become increasingly important as the policy debate continues to develop up to and following the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) to be held in Brazil in 1992 which is to consider an international framework convention on limiting emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The Australian aluminium industry is an industry for which the outcome of the greenhouse policy debate is critically important. As a very large consumer of electricity, largely generated from coal, Australia's aluminium industry can expect to be substantially affected by the adoption of measures designed to stabilise greenhouse gas emissions. This would be a consequence of a rise in Australian costs of production relative to those of aluminium producers elsewhere in the world who are dependent on hydroelectricity and nuclear energy. The issue is made all the more important from a national perspective when it is realised that aluminium is an industry which earns around.

Book Synopsis Energy Law and the Environment by : Rosemary Lyster
Download or read book Energy Law and the Environment written by Rosemary Lyster and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-08-31 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unsustainable practices worldwide in energy production and consumption have led to a plethora of environmental problems. Until recently environmental law largely overlooked the relevance of energy production and consumption; energy was seen to be of little significance to the advancement of sustainable development. This has changed since 2000 with the global concern attached to climate change, the publication by the United Nations of the World Energy Assessment and the detailed consideration given to this issue at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in 2002. Australia has been seen to be lagging behind the other major industrialised nations of the world in addressing sustainable energy issues. This book was first published in 2006.
Book Synopsis The Global Greenhouse Regime by : Kirk R. Smith

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective policies to prevent global warming and climatic change are urgently required by the world community. However, international negotiations on this issue repeatedly come up against the problems of allocating responsibility for the greenhouse effect, and bearing the costs of remedying the situation.;This volume offers a multidisciplinary response to the challenge. It presents the scientific, economic and political issues and goes on to describe the policy options available. The different ways of determining responsibility for greenhouse gases and calculating obligations to pay for hazards to the environment are analyzed. The contributors examine the implications for various countries, while a concluding chapter explores climatic change negotations - what is at stake, and for whom.

Download or read book Transforming Power written by John Byrne and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-31 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1934, Lewis Mumford critiqued the industrial energy system as a key source of authoritarian economic and political tendencies in modern life. Recent debate continues to engage issues of energy authoritarianism, focusing on the contest between energy-driven globalization (the spread of energy deregulation and the simultaneous consolidation of the oil, coal, and gas industries) and the so-called "sustainable energy" strategy that celebrates the local and community scale characteristics of renewable energy. Including theoretical inquiries and case studies by distinguished writers, Transforming Power is divided into three parts: Energy, Environment, and Society; The Politics of Conventional Energy; and The Politics of Sustainable Energy. It interrogates current contemporary energy assumptions, exploring the reflexive relationship between energy, environment, and society, and examining energy as a social project. Some of these have promised a prosperous future founded upon technological advances that further modernize the modern energy system, such as "inherently safe" nuclear power, environmentally friendly coal gasification, and the advent of a wealthier, cleaner world powered by fuel cells; and the "green technologies," said by advocates to prefigure a revival of human scale development, local self-determination, and a commitment to ecological balance. >br> This volume offers a timely engagement of the social issues surrounding energy conflicts and contradictions. It will be of interest to policymakers, energy and environmental experts, sociologists, and historians of technology.
