The University of Hull has over 18,000 students and 2,500 staff across its main and satellite campuses. It aims to reduce its carbon emissions by 34% by 2020 and 80% by 2050 relative to 1990 levels in line with UK climate targets. Installing automatic meter reading and flow reduction devices in student residence hall showers could save on water, energy, and emissions; and pay for themselves within a few years due to avoided costs under the UK's Carbon Reduction Commitment policy. The university holds energy saving competitions between residence halls to reduce consumption by 10%.

Presentation TEAGASC
This document summarizes a study measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) flux from Irish grasslands to determine their potential as carbon sinks. The study found that a grassland site in Cork sequestered 1.2 tons of carbon per hectare per year in soil, making it a carbon sink for 8 months annually. However, interannual sequestration varied significantly between 2.2 to 3.7 tons of carbon per hectare per year. While lower than forestry, preliminary results suggest Irish grasslands may provide opportunities for carbon sequestration through soil storage.

2. Several potential waste management CDM projects are proposed, including biogas capture from sewage and organic waste. Case studies show projects can be financially viable based on earnings from carbon credits and energy/fertilizer sales.
3. A roadmap is suggested to identify additional CDM potential projects and modify ongoing projects to qualify for carbon credits where possible.
Carbon footprints in textile
The document discusses carbon footprints in the textile industry. It defines carbon footprint as the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organization, product, or activity. The textile industry has a large carbon footprint due to the energy and resources required for production. Calculating carbon footprints involves quantifying direct emissions from energy use as well as indirect emissions from a product's entire lifecycle. Reducing the textile industry's carbon footprint can be achieved through methods like using renewable energy sources, modernizing equipment, optimizing processes, and utilizing sustainable materials. Measuring and lowering carbon footprints is important for the textile industry to reduce its environmental impact.

Elec. Pwr Conf. DF-CHP 4-20-2016SJ FINAL
Veolia is an international company that has been operating for over 160 years. They provide energy, water, and waste management services across the globe. The presentation discusses how duct fired combined heat and power (DF-CHP) systems can be a financially attractive and sustainable alternative to package boilers for generating power and steam at industrial sites. A DF-CHP system uses a gas turbine generator and heat recovery steam generator to efficiently produce power and high pressure steam. It has several advantages over a standard package boiler system including higher efficiency, ability to follow load changes, reduced operating costs, and providing power to the local grid. The presentation provides case studies and economic analyses demonstrating the benefits of DF-CHP for industrial steam and power needs

Business And Climate Change March 2010
Climate change is happening and is caused by human activity. The scientific consensus is that global temperatures have risen significantly since the industrial revolution and the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are the highest they have been in at least 650,000 years. If emissions continue unabated, global temperatures could rise by 2-5 degrees Celsius by 2100, causing widespread impacts. Business contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and will be impacted by physical and regulatory changes resulting from climate change. Many companies are already taking action to reduce their carbon footprints and develop low-carbon technologies and solutions.
Low Carbon Learning (User V1)

Key challenges for organizations are discussed around reducing carbon footprints through options like homeworking, videoconferencing, and modal shifts in transportation.
EPIC - Where Are We In Climate Action?
This document discusses California's climate action planning context. It notes that California aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. It outlines the various policies that support these goals in the electricity, transportation, and other sectors. It also discusses expectations for local governments to adopt climate action plans to help meet state targets and common elements of plans adopted in the San Diego region since 2015.
Climate Wedges
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).

Carbon management in Southern Water may 2020 Emma Bennett
Southern Water aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2030. They have reduced emissions through renewable energy investments and efficiencies. Residual emissions will require offsetting through additional measures like carbon sequestration projects. Offsetting and insetting initiatives can help address remaining emissions if they meet standards for additionality, permanence, verification, and maintenance. Southern Water will focus first on direct emission reductions and may offset residual emissions later in the decade through innovative local projects like blue carbon initiatives.

Mitigation - The Energy Dimension - Dr B. O'Gallachoir - EPA CC June 2010
Mitigation - The Energy Dimension - Dr B. O'Gallachoir - EPA CC June 2010Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland
This document discusses climate change mitigation through the energy dimension. It summarizes that energy is core to addressing climate change as technologies can half emissions by 2050. However, current trajectories are not on track to meet the 2°C warming limit. It then presents results from the Irish TIMES energy systems model, which can inform policy. A preliminary scenario shows that a 20% reduction in non-ETS emissions by 2020 is possible, with most savings in transport and residential sectors through electrification. Renewable targets are exceeded with 24% renewable energy and 15% renewable transport.Similar to Hen Amr 2010 07 20 (20)
