Emission Control Techniques 1. INTRODUCTION The need to control the emissions from automobiles gave rise to the computerization of the automobile. Hydrocarbons‚ carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen are created during the combustion process and are emitted into the atmosphere from the tail pipe. There are also hydrocarbons emitted as a result of vaporization of gasoline and from the crankcase of the automobile. The clean air act of 1977 set limits as to the amount of each of these pollutants

Main Nations’ Carbon Emission Exchanges System And Implication in South Korea I. Introduction After Kyoto Protocol in 1997‚ the carbon emission has been issued in the World. The carbon market has rapidly grown based on Kyoto mechanism‚ such as CDM (Clean Development Mechanism).Actually‚ the main nations‚ such as EU‚ the United States‚ Japan‚ and China‚ has formed the greenhouse gas emission trading market. South Korea is a target country which will have to reduce the greenhouse gas since 2015

removed or reduced from the atmosphere from an emission reduction project‚ which can be used‚ by governments‚ industry or private individuals to offset damaging carbon emissions that they are generating. How are Carbon Credits used? Carbon credits are associated with either removing existing CO2 or CO2e emissions from the atmosphere in the case of carbon sequestration from forests and planting of trees or the reduction of future CO2 or CO2e emissions from renewable energy and energy efficiency projects

nations or governments had implemented plans that would help reduce the emissions emitting from power plants‚ buildings‚ appliances household‚ and automobiles; the plans are “cap and trade system” and “carbon tax plan” (Samaras). With the cap and trade system‚ the governments sets a emission target on polluters of how much emission they can produce‚ and grants slips to firm if they need to produce over the target emission level. For carbon tax‚ it is a tax imposed on users that burn fossil fuel

balance score decreases by -0.347 average number of hours per week. Next‚ we have to interpret the random error component ( ) of the least squares line. The estimate of error standard deviation for this particular data set is 12.28455 which suggests that the work-life balance score (y) values should be two times of the standard deviation. This can be best expressed as in the equation of 2s = 2(12.28455) which equals 24.57 average hours per week. Then‚ we can analyze the accuracy of hypothesis model

Climate Change (IPCC) estimated that aviation may contribute around 3.5% of the total contribution of human activities to global warming. An International Air Transport Association (IATA) report says aviation is responsible for only 2% of global CO2 emissions and by 2050 will represent 3%. However‚ aviation has been unfairly labelled as a big polluter and there is not much of an understanding of this issue. Yet‚ globally‚ aviation companies‚ have already started addressing this issue and have made significant
