United States dairy farms and global warming

Journal 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 ...

Thermal Decomposition of Lower-GWP Refrigerants

, 2014
The use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) has been widely restricted. They have been replaced with hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in order to protect the ozone layer. However, the leakage of refrigerant into air from active or end-of-life air conditioners has been a serious environmental issue owing to the high global ...

Leveraging Life Cycle Assessment for Informing Packaging Eco‐Design and Eco‐Modulation

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eco‐modulation is designed to promote the adoption of eco‐design. However, in practice, its application is mostly concentrated on end‐of‐life (EoL) optimization. This study addresses the gap by proposing a framework to assess product–packaging systems as integrated units throughout the full life cycle.

Sustainable Utilization and Fire Protection of Wood‐Based Composites in Buildings: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Directions

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing use of wood and wood‐based composites in construction reflects a global shift toward renewable materials that support sustainable development objectives, including carbon reduction and responsible resource use. While wood offers substantial environmental benefits compared to conventional materials such as concrete and steel, its

Impact of Driving Cycles on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions, Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Fuel Economy for SI Car Real World Driving

, 2009
The transport sector is one of the major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. This study investigated three greenhouse gases emitted from road transport: CO2, N2O and CH4 emissions as a function of engine warm up and driving cycles.

Research on Power Frequency Insulation Properties and Configurations of CF3SO2F Gas Mixture for Industrial Applications

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The breakdown characteristics of the novel eco‐friendly insulating gas CF3SO2F are fundamental to the design of gas‐insulated equipment. In this paper, the gas mixture parameters for CF3SO2F were optimised for different ambient temperatures in order to ascertain the insulation performance and liquefaction temperature constraints.

The Price Gap in Agriculture‐Based Greenhouse Gas Offset Markets

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Today, there is a global effort to reduce greenhouse gas net emissions (GHGNE). For economic well‐being, it is important to identify low‐cost means of net emission offsets. Agriculture and forestry have received considerable attention as a means of supplying emissions offsets, as they contribute nearly 20% of global emissions.

Land Use and Economic Trade‐Offs of Large‐Scale Solar in Agricultural Regions: Marginal National Impacts, Significant Regional Variations

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large‐scale solar generation is critical for energy transitions. In Australia, increased solar production to meet emission targets means its land footprint increasingly competes with agricultural land. Understanding the scale and location of agricultural land use change and potential profitability losses from large‐scale solar farms is ...
