CARBON EMISSIONS OVER A YEAR AND PRATICAL REDUCTION METHODS Michael Pratt‚ Brandon Brown 1School of Electrical and Computer Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta‚ GA 30332 ABSTRACT The average American citizen consumes energy over the course of a year which contributes to mankind’s total carbon emissions. Given current studies on the effects of Global Warming and carbon emissions‚ it is beneficial to analyze ways to reduce energy usage‚ and thus carbon emissions. The

Basit Beigh And ‚ Civil Deptt. ‚ SRM University‚ Kattangulathur‚ Tamil Nadu Abstract: Energy continues to be a major constraint in achieving socioeconomic growth in developing countries. Recent studies indicate that current patterns of energy consumption and anticipated growth of demand in developing countries risk becoming unsustainable in the long run and hence countries need to focus on sustainable energy strategies that do not impair their development goals. While the important role renewable

of the implementation of Environmental Management System (EMS) in the carpet industry in reducing energy consumption and in reducing GHG emissions for sustainable development and mitigation of climate change. Various works and research have been carried out to determine the effectiveness of EMS implementation in the industries of Nepal‚ mainly in terms of reduction of resource consumption and maximizing outputs‚ but very little

expressed concern over the amount of CO2 being released. This would in turn heat up the atmosphere and cause global warming that will result in the melting of glaciers and hence the sea level will rise that is a threat to several coastal cities of the world. So one can imagine how the amount of CO2 emissions can cause problems of displacing people from their home. So why do we produce lot of CO2 in the atmosphere? Most of the industries‚ power generation plants have CO2 as the finally released compound

and several hundred more calories per person per day than did their counterparts in the late 1950s. Now more than ever‚ America is a Nation of meat eaters. In 2000‚ total meat consumption (red meat‚ poultry‚ and fish) reached 195 pounds (boneless‚ trimmed-weight equivalent) per person‚ 57 pounds above average annual consumption in the 1950s. Each American consumed an average of 7 pounds more red meat than in the 1950s‚ 46 pounds more poultry‚ and 4 pounds more fish and shellfish. Rising consumer incomes

Matt Lemming Biochemistry 100 5/9/2001 Final Exam: Energy Policy One solution to solving the world’s energy policy could be to invest more government spending into nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is manipulating an atom down to its molecular scale in order to change its complexion. An example of nanotechnology is Thermocells‚ which have been introduced by using carbon nanotube technology‚ and can provide up to three times the amount of energy than a normal cell. Thermocells look and feel like

power or even hydro power‚ which all come from the environment. However‚ as these types of energy are produced‚ far less pollution is being generated. In 2009‚ the State of Maryland‚ signed a contract to purchase 23 percent of the state’s energy consumption from a nearby wind farm (The Associated Press‚ 2009). This contract not only eliminated a portion of the pollution caused by smog‚ but also may help with breathing and health problems. As we continue to look at

This massive usage of coal has increased the carbon dioxide emissions. Chinese government has started to encourage national coal mining companies to invest out of China to secure supplying of coal (Sinton & Fridley‚ 2000). All governments in the world want to promote a transparent and competitive market to secure energy for all. The growth in Chinese market that recently has been three times more than the entire world’s coal trade‚ has a deep affect on global coal flows. This demand that is an important
