It is a particularly urgent issue for Unilever since the countries that are expected to feel the effects most severely are the developing economies that generate more than half our sales. We have calculated the greenhouse gas emissions across the lifecycle of over 1‚600 representative products in 14 countries. The calculation covers 70% of our volumes. From this we know that our largest greenhouse gas impacts are beyond our factory gates. The sourcing of raw materials and the use

IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS Climate change has been one of the most discussed issues in these modern days. It is prove on many researches that the increase in man-made green house gas emission can significantly affect the climate in the world‚ on every part of the globe. In the last few years‚ climate change has become the most researched subject in science. The reason is that because climate change can affect significantly to the earth and it has to be taken care of. In a

Kyoto Protocol What is it? The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change‚ which commits its Parties by setting internationally binding emission reduction targets. When was it first announced? The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto‚ Japan‚ on 11 December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005. The detailed rules for the implementation of the Protocol were adopted at COP 7 in Marrakesh‚ Morocco‚ in 2001‚ and are referred

Properties of Spectroscopy methods There are three different major types of spectroscopy techniques covered in our practical‚ which includes Ultraviolet-Visible Light Spectroscopy‚ Infrared Spectroscopy and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy & Atomic Emission Spectroscopy. The use of spectrophotometry in the analysis of chemicals quantitatively and qualitatively is common‚ since they’re readily available and generally easy to operate‚ at the same time giving fairly accurate and consistent results.

Critically evaluate the possible effects of the phenomenon known as global warming and suggest possible responses to them (40 marks) Global warming is the gradual increase in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and oceans‚ mostly caused by the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is where incoming short-wave solar radiation from the sun can pass through the earth’s atmosphere to reach the surface; some of this radiation is then reflected back into space at a longer wavelength.

gases produced by human activities. In 2010 that finding was recognized by the national science academies of all major industrialized nations. Affirming these findings in 2013‚ the IPCC stated that the largest driver of global warming is carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion‚ cement production‚ and land use changes such as deforestation. Its 2013 report states Human influence has been detected in warming of the atmosphere and the ocean‚ in changes in the global water cycle‚ in reductions

Additional manufacturing cost reductions will be essential to maintain‚ or better grow the business in a very competitive environment. The challenge for the diesel engine will be to meet the future emission standards at affordable cost‚ while maintaining its fuel economy advantages. Regarding the emissions‚ advanced diesel technologies will have to focus mainly on NOx reduction

In an HMM‚ we have a series of states‚ and a corresponding series of emissions‚ occurring over time. Because it is a hidden model‚ we cannot directly observe the states‚ but we can observe the by-products of these states‚ the emissions. Through training this model‚ we will be able to begin to gain information about the states based solely on the observations. It is this ability which makes HMMs such
