Assessment of the life cycle-based environmental impacts of New Zealand electricity : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Management at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The life cycle-based environmental impacts of New Zealand electricity arise from the different energy generation systems used to provide electricity to the national grid, and construction, maintenance and operation of the national electricity ...

Abstract Invasive plants can alter ecosystem primary productivity and carbon sequestration, thereby reshaping greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Here, we conducted a global meta‐analysis of 141 paired in situ observations to investigate how exotic plant invasion influences nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) emissions in forests and grasslands.

Summary Introduction The UK NHS is committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2040. Volatile anaesthetic agents are potent greenhouse gases and alternative intravenous methods exist. We aimed to predict the cost‐effectiveness of a transition from volatile anaesthesia to total intravenous anaesthesia to reduce carbon emissions. Methods A general

Environmental regulation and revealed comparative advantages in Europe: is China a pollution haven? [PDF]
The relocation of more polluting industries in poorer countries due to gaps in environmental standards is known as the pollution haven effect, whereby the scale and the composition of output change across countries.

Conceptual diagram of soil carbon cycling across climatic and environmental gradients in Nordic marshes and grazing effect. Denmark's warmer climate, high nutrient inputs, elevated salinity, and sandy soils promote rapid microbial decomposition of predominantly labile and root‐derived OC, driving high CO2 emissions and relatively high although unstable

We demonstrate here the transformation of NBR (Nitrile butadiene rubber) including post‐consumer waste sourced from nitrile gloves and o‐rings into polyamines and polyols via ruthenium catalyzed hydrogenation. ABSTRACT We report here two new approaches for the chemical recycling/upcycling of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) to make either polyamines or ...

A harmonized LCA and TEA framework evaluates 19 bioenergy pathways, quantifying carbon intensity (CI), minimum fuel selling price (MFSP), and marginal abatement cost (MAC). CCS reduces CI to net‐negative values and lowers MAC by up to 64%, with bioelectricity achieving the lowest MAC and liquid biofuels critical for hard‐to‐abate sectors.

Impulse response functions (IRF), the response in a climate parameter to an emission pulse of CO _2 , are used to characterize Earth system response timescales and to calculate Global Warming Potentials (GWPs).

Global warming, induced by the effects of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs), is a major concern in the context of the global ecosystem. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued a serious warning that without serious handling of GHG emissions, the earth's temperature has the potential to increase drastically by up to 6.4°C.
