Agriculture contributes significantly to the emissions of greenhouse gases in the EU. By using a farm-type, linear-programming based model of the European agricultural supply, we first assess the initial levels of methane and nitrous oxide emissions at ...

The greenhouse effect: Damages, costs and abatement
, 1991 The buildup of so-called “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere — CO 2 in particular-appears to be having an adverse impact on the global climate. This paper briefly reviews current expectations with regard to physical and biological effects, their ...

Artificial Greenhouse Gases as Exoplanet Technosignatures
The Astrophysical JournalAtmospheric pollutants such as chlorofluorocarbons and NO _2 have been proposed as potential remotely detectable atmospheric technosignature gases. Here we investigate the potential for artificial greenhouse gases including CF _4 , C _2 F _6 , C _3 F _8 ,

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A new data‐efficient framework combining DFT calculations, a neural network model, and automated graph analysis of catalytic reaction networks is proposed and applied to CO2 hydrogenation on transition metal nanoparticles. The analysis shows how efficient C2 oxygenate production requires a balance between CHx formation, C–C coupling, protonation, and ...

Sustainable Mitigation of Greenhouse Gases Emissions
Problemy Ekorozwoju, 2016 The emission and absorption fluxes of CO2 and CH4 in the environment have been characterized. It has been pointed out that the anthropogenic emission of CO2 amounts only to 3% of emissions from the natural sources. It has been also noted that increasing

Thermally Processable, Transparent, Mechanically Tunable and Robust Bioplastics From Wastepaper
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Unlike conventional inefficient or low‐value wastepaper recycling, a directional transformation strategy is employed to convert whole wastepaper into intact bioplastics with tunable mechanical properties in our work. These bioplastics can be processed into flexible bags or rigid containers and exhibit high transparency, water resistance, repairability,

Designing A Carbon Tax to Reduce U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions [PDF]
This article describes a revenue and distributionally neutral approach to reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions that uses a carbon tax. The revenue from the carbon tax is used to finance an environmental earned income tax credit designed to be ...
