All landfills need to be degassed. Al Qusais landfill has developed from a dump site to a well managed landfill that is being becoming a source of pride rather than worry for Dubai and a showcase for the region. Working together towards a cleaner future. It is our responsibility to leave the Earth a better place for our children.

As we journey through the world we see continual changes in the energy sector. Change is inevitable, but today’s energy sector - particularly in hydrocarbons - is dramatically changing relative to the norms that we have become used to over recent years. Brian McShane presented his thoughts at the Energy Conference Trinidad and Tobago
Bill Elrick's presentation from the GNA/ACT Expo webinar on February 19, 2014. Bill gives an overview of hydrogen stations in California, commonly used equipment, and codes and standards information.
Learn the basics of biogas use and its current role in Wisconsin. Next, manufacturers will talk about biogas systems and requirements. Lastly, fleets will talk about their firsthand experience using biogas as a transportation fuel.

Tenaska Trailblazer Energy Centre – Jeff James - Global CCS Institute – Nov 2...Global CCS Institute
As a part of the Institute's strategic focus on assisting CCS projects through knowledge sharing, three North American roadshow events will help the industry share project experiences and knowledge about CCS. Taking place in the US and Canada, the three events include:
• Austin, Texas on November 8, 2011;
• Calgary, Canada on 10 November, 2011; and
• Washington, D.C. on 19 January, 2012.
The first roadshow focused on sharing project experiences and knowledge from the projects in North America but also brought in projects from Europe (Don valley) and Australia (Callide) so that regionally diverse experiences could be shared amongst a global audience.
Attendance at the event was around 30 to 35 which allowed open and frank discussions around technical, management, and regulatory issues and how these challenges can impact on a project’s advancement and decision making processes.
The Asia CCUS Network has been successfully launched on 22-23 June 2021 with initially 13 countries (all ASEAN member countries, the United States, Australia, and Japan) and more than 100 international organisations, companies, financial and research institutions that share the vision of CCUS development throughout the Asian region.
The Network members have expressed their intention to participate to share the vision of the Asia CCUS Network that aims to contribute to the decarbonisation of emissions in Asia through collaboration and cooperation on development and deployment of CCUS.
The Asia CCUS Network provides opportunities for countries in the region to work and collaborate on the low emission technology partnership that will eventually help to build countries’ capability to lower the cost of CCUS technology and its deployment through the collaboration of research and innovation.
At the 2nd Asia CCUS Network (ACN) Knowledge Sharing Conference, the Asia CCUS Network is very pleased to invite experts from the Department of Energy, United States of America (USDOE) to share their insights and experiences about CCUS development and policy to support the deployment of CCUS technology.
The ACN will be an active forum to bridge the knowledge gap on CCUS technologies, policy development to support the development and deployment of CCUS in Asia. Thus, this conference hosted in collaboration with IEA will help to bring in update knowledge, opportunity for investment in CCUS in Asia.

This project enumerates ways to mitigate climate change through eight strategies. Each strategy, called as 'wedge', when implemented could reduce carbon emission by 1b ton by 2055. This project prioritizes these strategies based on cost of implementation and public opinion. Ranks are assigned from 1 to 8, with 1 for highly feasible [low cost and less criticism] and 8 for hardly feasible.
As seen from the presentation, adopting to biofuels is found to be least feasible (rank-8), followed by fuel switching for electricity (rank-7). In contrast, improving transport efficiency is found to be highly feasible (rank-1), followed by efficiency in electricity production (rank-2). Justifications (qualitative and quantitative) are provided for the ranking of each strategy.
In the concluding slides, stakeholder perspectives are provided for automobile industry and industrial/developing nations. The climate wedges concept was developed by Princeton University, Ford and BP to find solutions to greenhouse gas problem (see references).

Reduction of Carbon Footprints in Shipping Industry-Nirjhar Sarkar-GUNI-Gujar...nirjharsarkar20
To reduce the carbon footprints the current shipping industry is open up to a lot options. However, the point is that which option is more efficient, cost effective and preferable. All the options have its own pros and cons.
The shipping industry is already on verge of adopting an alternate source of power to reduce the carbon emissions. The only awaiting factor is which alternate fuel develops faster and is made available in market and how much efficient is it compared to its other competitors. The pace with which the developments are ongoing and efforts that are been put on to reduce the carbon emissions by 2050, its not going to be further before which the transition is going to complete.

3. Tightening EPA Diesel Emission Limits
Heavy emission control equipment reduces payload
Weight needed to
comply with new
regulations
2004 117 pounds
2007 1,000
2010 900
TOTAL 2,017 pounds
5. 2008 Forces of Change
• EPA regulations reducing efficiency
• Customer demand for cleaner trucks
Example: City of Seattle
• New generation of engines and appealing warranties
6. 2007 Forces of Change
• EPA regulations reducing efficiency
• Customer demand for cleaner trucks --
City of Seattle contract required 100+ alternative fuel
trucks
• New generation of natural gas engines carried
appealing warranties, but were expensive and
unproven – Were they the answer?
8. Emissions Reduction
The Benefits:
• Smog-producing NOx emissions are reduced up to 50% compared
to 2010 diesel engines and even more compared to the older
diesel engines we are replacing;
• Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are reduced up to 25 percent
over standard diesel engines; and
• When we can use LNG or CNG derived from landfill gas versus
standard pipeline gas GHG can be reduced by over 90%.
9. WM’s NGV Opportunity
• WM has 32,000 vehicles
• Over 18,000 are Class 8 collection trucks
• 12,000 support vehicles including heavy off-road equipment
used at landfills, delivery vans and supervisor trucks
10. WM’s Fleet Goal: Reduce emissions and increase fuel
efficiency by 15% by 2020
• WM will replace 80% of its new class 8 vehicles with natural gas
trucks
• We will build 25 natural gas fueling stations each year
• We will purchase 700-1,000 natural gas vehicles each year
11. Current Status of WMs Green Fleet Transition
• 2,000 natural gas trucks on the road today - the largest
fleet of heavy duty natural gas trucks in N. America
• In 2012 we achieved our 2020 emissions and fuel
efficiency goals -- saving 350 million gallons of fuel and
reducing 3.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide
• We are investing in new natural gas fueling stations to
support our fleet:
40 stations were operational by year end 2012.
13 new CNG fueling stations opened In 2012 – 7 more
are under construction
15 stations have public access & another 7 have
public access for pre-approved customers
17. Landfill Gas: The Low Hanging Fruit
• Anaerobic decomposition of Landfill Gas Collection System
organic waste creates
biogenic gas
• Gas is about half methane
and half carbon dioxide.
• Quantities are 450 to 550
BTU per cubic foot of
landfill gas
• It’s a medium BTU gas
18. Landfill Gas to Fuel
• A joint venture with Linde North America resulted in the world’s
largest plant to convert landfill gas to ultra low-carbon liquefied
natural gas.
• Carbon emissions are 97% lower than diesel.
• The facility produces up to 13,000 gallons of LNG a day and
powers over 300 WM natural gas trucks in California.
• $15.5 million capital investment and $2 million in government
grant funding
19. Future Plans
• Natural gas engines are flexible and can be powered by other
renewable fuels such as bio-methane
• WM will continue to experiment with Class 6 & 7 electric
vehicles and hybrids as the technology becomes economically
viable.
• Transitioning off-road, heavy equipment to alternative fuels.
• Testing four diesel-electric hybrid bulldozers that have a
dramatically different life cycle than our traditional power
train tractors as well as improved fuel efficiency.
WM considers natural gas trucks to be a bridge to future
technologies. We are striving to move towards a true zero
emissions vehicle (ZEV)
