This document discusses various methods for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial processes and power plant flue gases. It describes both established and developing absorption-based techniques using liquid solvents such as amines, ionic liquids, and hyperbranched polymers. While amine scrubbing is a mature process, opportunities exist to improve solvent capacity and reduce regeneration energy needs through new solvent formulations and process designs. Developing technologies like facilitated transport membranes and task-specific ionic liquids also aim to enhance CO2 capture efficiency. Fundamental research on reaction mechanisms and new candidate materials continues to inform the design of more effective and economical CO2 capture systems.
Carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide emissions from an oil palm plantati...CIFOR-ICRAF
Although nitrous oxide only makes up 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, it has nearly 300 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. In this presentation, CIFOR scientist Kristell Hergoualc’h explains results from collaborative research between CIFOR, ICRAF, CIRAD and PT Bakrie, which show that nitrogen fertiliser can exacerbate the production of soil nitrous oxide greenhouse gases when applied to oil palms grown on deep peat. She gave this presentation on 23 February 2012 at the International Conference on Oil Palm & Environment (ICOPE) held in Bali, Indonesia. The conference had the theme ‘Conserving forest, expanding sustainable palm oil production’.
This thesis examines technologies for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from power plants. It discusses three main CO2 capture methods: absorption, adsorption, and membranes. Absorption using liquid solvents is identified as the most promising near-term option. The thesis then analyzes biphasic solvents as an alternative to conventional amines for absorption. Biphasic solvents form two liquid phases after CO2 absorption, allowing the CO2-rich phase to be regenerated with 30-50% less energy than amines. Specific biphasic solvent systems are reviewed that could reduce energy requirements for CO2 capture compared to monoethanolamine. The thesis aims to estimate CO2 capture costs using biphasic solvent
This document discusses doping and ion implantation in semiconductor fabrication. It describes how dopants such as boron, arsenic, and phosphorus are introduced through diffusion or ion implantation processes to create n-type and p-type semiconductors. The mathematics of diffusion are presented, including Fick's laws and the solution of the diffusion equation. Experimental setups for diffusion and ion implantation are shown. Ion implantation involves accelerating dopant ions into the semiconductor to reach a projected range and Gaussian distribution. Post-implantation diffusion may be needed to activate the implanted dopants.

Global warming and_the_kyoto_protocol_1_ - copyAnkit Joshi
The document discusses global warming and the Kyoto Protocol. It provides background on greenhouse gases and how human activities have increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The Kyoto Protocol established emissions reduction targets for developed countries, but did not include reduction commitments for developing countries like China and India. Modeling shows that if the United States and EU reduced emissions by 10% from 1990 levels, atmospheric CO2 levels would be modestly lower but global warming would still continue.
The document discusses photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide into fuels and chemicals. It describes how semiconductor-based photocatalysts like TiO2 can be used to drive the reduction of CO2 into products like methanol using solar energy. Challenges include the large band gap of most semiconductors, which limits them to using only UV light. The document explores using metal complexes immobilized on photoactive supports as an alternative, as they have visible light activity and can be tuned to favor specific products. Specific examples discussed include cobalt phthalocyanine and tin phthalocyanine immobilized on graphene oxide and mesoporous ceria, respectively, as well as heteroleptic ruthenium complexes immobilized on graphene oxide
This document summarizes research investigating the use of effluents from anaerobic digestion (ADE) and polyhydroxyalkanoate production (PHAE) processes to cultivate algae. The objectives were to determine the effects of light attenuation, nitrogen concentration, and nitrogen species on algal growth rate and yield. Experiments tested combinations of absorbance and nitrogen levels in ADE, PHAE, and mixtures. Principal components analysis showed absorbance and ammonium influenced one component, while nitrate and phosphate influenced another. Regression models predicted growth rate decreased with the first principal component, while biomass increased with both components. Supplementing with PHAE eliminated freshwater needs and doubled annual biomass productivity compared to ADE

Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas and ozone depleting substance whose emissions are increasing rapidly and expected to double by 2050. A new UNEP report finds that reducing nitrous oxide emissions through measures like improving nitrogen use efficiency in agriculture, installing emissions controls in industry, and better waste management could lower emissions 22% by 2050 compared to business as usual. This would provide significant benefits including slowing climate change, protecting the ozone layer, and saving over $23 billion per year in fertilizer costs alone. While barriers include costs and lack of knowledge, the report identifies policy options to incentivize reductions under frameworks like the UNFCCC and Montreal Protocol.

Carbon budgets and earth system aspects of CDRipcc-media
Chris Jones from the IPCC and Met Office Hadley Centre discusses carbon budgets and carbon dioxide removal. He notes that the remaining carbon budget to limit warming to 1.5C is now only 380 gigatons of CO2, and that required emissions reductions are very fast. Carbon dioxide removal is not a replacement for deep emissions cuts, though some CDR will be needed to remove residual emissions. Different CDR techniques have varying impacts on storage permanence, potential, non-CO2 impacts, biophysical effects, and other tradeoffs that require consideration.
This chapter discusses strategies for slowing and stabilizing climate change, including international agreements like the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol, and the Montreal Protocol. It emphasizes the need to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially of carbon dioxide and methane, through measures like improving energy efficiency, expanding renewable energy, reducing deforestation, and increasing forest growth. An ideal target range of stabilization is identified as 400-550 parts per million of carbon dioxide.
The document summarizes the evolution of international accords and agreements around reducing carbon emissions, including the UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, and Copenhagen Accord. It discusses goals and mechanisms of these agreements, such as emissions targets and market-based mechanisms.

Waste: Local Actions with Global Effects - David Newman Humanidade2012
Local waste management actions can have global effects. Waste production is increasing worldwide due to population and economic growth. Improper waste disposal releases methane and carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change. Recycling and composting reduce emissions by avoiding landfill gases. They also create jobs and economic opportunities. Countries like Austria have seen success through high recycling rates and sustainable practices like composting and energy recovery instead of landfills. Global support is still needed to address the waste crisis through management improvements that provide environmental, economic and social benefits worldwide.

This document provides suggestions from the private sector to international climate change negotiators on designing an effective financing regime for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). It discusses the need to mobilize large-scale private sector finance and investment in addition to government funds. The document analyzes different policy scenarios for a future international REDD+ regime and argues that a "nested approach" could help stimulate private sector finance by addressing risks and creating a clear price signal for carbon.
Peatlands in the Kyoto Protocol and their potential role in post-2012 climate...ChristianDunn
This document discusses the potential role of peatlands in future climate change legislation and carbon markets. It notes that under the Kyoto Protocol, management of peatlands was not included in accounting of emissions reductions. However, recent COP meetings have recognized the importance of peatlands as carbon sinks and agreed that rewetting drained peatlands could count towards country commitments. The document argues that properly accounting for peatlands in national inventories and carbon offset markets could significantly increase the total value of peatlands in mitigating climate change.
The document discusses carbon credits, which are units that represent the reduction or offset of greenhouse gas emissions and can be generated through projects under the Kyoto Protocol's Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanism programs. It provides background on carbon credits and how they work, factors that influence the demand and supply of carbon credits, and examples of carbon credit projects in Thailand. Thailand has registered 66 Clean Development Mechanism projects that have generated over 1 million metric tons of certified emission reductions.

This argument is questionable. Although the member organizations are not

member organizations that take climate change seriously will track their
