Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The presented study focuses on the fracture behaviour of carbon‐bonded magnesia MgO–C refractories, where environmentally friendly fructose, collagen and lignin serve as temporary binding agents. The partial substitution of the source material with recycled MgO–C reduces the fracture resistance, which can be counteracted by the additional introduction ...

How big is leakage from forestry carbon credits? Estimates from a Global Model [PDF]
There is widespread recognition that forestry carbon credits can reduce the net emissions of carbon into the atmosphere. Designing systems to sequester carbon, however, has proven difficult due to a number of efficiency issues, including leakage. Leakage

How to support growth with less energy [PDF]
, 2006 There is considerable potential to support growth with less use of primary energy and lower carbon emissions. This can be achieved through technical solutions (existing and new), as well as behavioural change.

Variation in and Regulation of Carbon Use Efficiency of Grassland Ecosystem in Northern China
AtmosphereEcosystem carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a key parameter in the carbon cycling of terrestrial ecosystems. The magnitude of CUE reflects the ecosystem’s potential for CO2 sequestration. China’s grasslands play an important role in the carbon cycle.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Four‐point bending tests are conducted in an argon atmosphere on commercial MgO‐C brick grades with and without MgO‐C recyclate from room temperature up to 1300 °C. No detrimental effect of the MgO‐C recyclates on bending strength is found. Instead, a decisive influence of the total carbon content is observed, with lower total carbon contents ...

Technical productivity analysis for cement industry at firm level [PDF]
This paper analyses the energy use in the manufacture of cement in India during 1992-2005. Cement manufacturing requires large amounts of various energy inputs. The most common types of energy carriers used are coal, electricity, natural gas and fuel oil.

Sol–Gel Derived Polymer Precursors for Stereolithography of ZrC
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.ZrC is a critical material target for extreme temperature conditions. This report describes a protocol for preparing ZrC ceramics via stereolithography and examines the impact of the polymer matrix on carbothermal reduction and mechanical stability of 3D printed ZrC.

Carbon Sequestration, Co-Benefits, and Conservation Programs [PDF]
Land use changes to sequester carbon also provide ﾓco-benefits,ﾔ some of which (for example, water quality) have attracted at least as much attention as carbon storage. The non-separability of these co-benefits presents a challenge for policy design.
