Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Peat Soils Cultivated to Rice Field, Oil Palm and Vegetable [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Presently, about 20% of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) fields in Indonesia are on peat soil, in addition to that otherarea of peat soil has been conventionally used for rice field and vegetables. To elucidate the global warmingpotentials of peat soils

No way out? The double-bind in seeking global prosperity alongside mitigated climate change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In a prior study, I introduced a simple economic growth model designed to be consistent with general thermodynamic laws. Unlike traditional economic models, civilization is viewed only as a well-mixed global whole with no distinction made between ...

Multi-objective optimization of a novel reversible High-Temperature Heat Pump-Organic Rankine Cycle (HTHP-ORC) for industrial low-grade waste heat recovery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Nowadays, a high amount of industrial thermal energy is still lost due to the lack of competitive solutions for energy revalorization. Facing this challenge, this paper presents a novel technology, based on a reversible High-Temperature Heat Pump (HTHP ...

Assessment of commercially available energy-efficient room air conditioners including models with low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Improving the energy efficiency of room air conditioners (RACs) while transitioning to low global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants will be a critical step toward reducing the energy, peak load, and emissions impacts of RACs while keeping costs low.

Reducing carbon footprint of inhalers: analysis of climate and clinical implications of different scenarios in five European countries

open access: yesBMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2021
Background Inhaled therapies are key components of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatments. Although the use of pressurised metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) accounts for <0.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, their ...

Comparative Performance of Low Global Warming Potential (GWP) Refrigerants as Replacement for R-410A in a Regular 2-Speed Heat Pump for Sustainable Cooling [PDF]

open access: yesSustainability, 2021
Heat pumps are currently being developed to reduce the energy footprint for residential and commercial building space conditioning and water heating loads in cold climates. To mitigate the nocuous impact of greenhouse gas emissions on the environment, and to create a carbon-neutral building stock, alternate lower-GWP refrigerants must also replace the ...

United States dairy farms and global warming

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science
: Several metrics have been developed for combining the warming effects of various GHG. The metric used can affect the life cycle assessment and comparison of dairy production systems due to the weighting placed on long- versus short-lived gases in the ...
