1. What role could material efficiency play in climate mitigation? How does it relate to other emission reduction options in industry? (SP/T) ERM PAPER - Material efficiency and climate mitigation Introduction The climate change mitigation today is a wide field‚ which it has to be since mostly all of human activity has some kind of impact to the environment. As of today the climate change is a growing subject and has really been taken into attention the last decade (source) as the climate change

Analysis An automobile is a single biggest polluter‚ as emissions from millions of vehicles add up. As motor vehicles have been huge sources of pollution for the world since the last hundred years‚ the major car companies and market see profit by introducing some new technologies to reduce emission and delivering best solutions to customers. One of the major reasons for emission is weight of the vehicle. As weight increases carbon emission increases and fuel efficiency decreases. Both equally reduce

consumers expect business to calculate‚ account for and reduce their carbon emissions. CO2 accounting is a new science and there is no single way of doing it. This can make calculating your carbon footprint rather complicated. Do you know where you stand? Reporting of carbon emissions is the first step to greening your logistics. We provide an easy to understand CO2 report that gives full transparency of the emissions generated from your air and ocean freight within the DHL network. Our carbon

systems establish property rights to emissions‚ allocate them to actors that are included in the system‚ create a market in which those actors can trade these property rights and‚ finally‚ institute penalties for non-compliance. The purpose of these regimes is to either reduce energy demand or to change the way energy is produced (switching into non-carbon alternatives). Proponents of emissions trading suggest that such a market-based approach to emissions reduction constitutes the most effective

exhaust emissions from these vehicles are the number one air pollutant in the United States. Air pollution causes many different issues that affect personal health as well as environmental factors. Over the years many different studies have been done by different people and agencies showing how reducing air pollution from automobiles can only benefit the earth. The government has been one of the largest advocates of lowering emissions from automobiles. Because excessive exhaust emissions created

argued that it is the consumer that initiates the production processes that ultimately cause environmental impacts. Therefore one can question “can a shift of environmental policy towards the consumer lead to greater reductions in greenhouse gas emissions” (http://www.cicero.uio.no/). “’Almost everyone everywhere wants all the things they have heard about‚ seen‚ or experienced via the new technologies” (Levitt‚ T 1983) The demand for goods and services is constantly increasing and this is partially
