Spatiotemporal patterns of the fossil-fuel CO₂ signal in central Europe: results from a high-resolution atmospheric transport model [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017
The emission of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuel is a prime determinant of variations in atmospheric CO2. Here, we simulate this fossil-fuel signal together with the natural and background components with a regional high-resolution atmospheric ...

Existing fossil fuel extraction would warm the world beyond 1.5 °C

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
The Paris climate goals and the Glasgow Climate Pact require anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to decline to net zero by mid-century. This will require overcoming carbon lock-in throughout the energy system.

Historical red-lining is associated with fossil fuel power plant siting and present-day inequalities in air pollutant emissions

Nature Energy, 2022
Historical appraisals of US neighbourhoods are thought to have led to present-day disparities in homeownership, home values and environmental and health outcomes. Cushing et al.

Aqueous production of secondary organic aerosol from fossil-fuel emissions in winter Beijing haze

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from fossil-fuel combustion is a major component of Beijing winter haze pollution but its formation mechanisms are unclear.

Fossil fuel dependence and energy insecurity

Energy, Sustainability and Society, 2022
Background Access to reliable energy services is increasingly seen as a prerequisite for well-being and human development. Copious research documents the negative consequences that occur when nations specialize in natural resource production, creating a “

Still Not Getting Energy Prices Right: A Global and Country Update of Fossil Fuel Subsidies

IMF Working Papers, 2021
This paper provides a comprehensive global, regional, and country-level update of: (i) efficient fossil fuel prices to reflect supply and environmental costs; and (ii) subsidies implied by charging below efficient fuel prices.

The study of CO2 absorption intensification using porous media material in aqueous AMP solution

Petroleum, 2018
In this work, the performance of CO2 absorption into aqueous 2-amino-2-methyl-propanol (AMP) solution was investigated by measuring the amount of CO2 in the liquid phase during CO2 absorption process to identify initial CO2 absorption rate.

COP26 and the dynamics of anti‐fossil fuel norms

WIREs Climate Change, 2022
Notwithstanding the clear contribution of fossil fuel production and consumption to global greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuels have remained largely outside the focus of the international regime established by the United Nations Framework Convention ...

Important contributions of non-fossil fuel nitrogen oxides emissions

Nature Communications, 2021
Since the industrial revolution, it has been assumed that fossil-fuel combustions dominate increasing nitrogen oxide (NO x ) emissions. However, it remains uncertain to the actual contribution of the non-fossil fuel NO x to total NO x emissions.

Analyses of permeability and porosity of sedimentary rocks in terms of unconventional geothermal resource explorations in Poland

Geologos, 2016
Petrophysical investigations are fundamental to natural resource exploration. In order to recognise the geothermal potential of sedimentary rocks in central Poland, 259 samples were collected from prospective deep-lying geothermal reservoirs.
