En este trabajo se propone un enfoque sobre las causas del deterioro ambiental que integra el análisis en distintos niveles de organización económica, con especial atención en el nivel de las políticas macroeconómicas y sectoriales. En la segunda sección, aplicando este enfoque en una...

V monografii rassmatrivajutsja aktualʹnye problemy osvoenija ėnergetičeskich resursov Arktiki i meždunarodnogo ėnergetičeskogo sotrudničestva v Arktičeskom regione. Arktičeskij šelʹf Rossijskoj Federacii javljaetsja važnejšim rezervom uglevodorodov. V nastojaščee vremja ne tolʹko...

It has been observed that employing the natural processes occurring in the Earth’s ecosystem for mitigating the greenhouse gases emission is sustainable. One of the main sources of methane emission is agriculture (rice cultivation and livestock raising). Limiting the cultivation of rice would...

This report applies the PAFER to Mexico’s National Hydrocarbons Commission and assesses its functions, practices and behaviour. It focuses on internal governance, including structures and processes for decision making, managing financial resources, attracting and retaining talent, managing...

Methane is a major anthropogenic greenhouse gas, second only to carbon dioxide (CO2) in its impact on climate change. Methane (CH4) has a high global warming potential that is 25 times as large as the one of CO2 on a 100 year time horizon according to the latest IPCC report. Thus, CH4...

Marine and permafrost-based methane hydrates are the largest existing fossil carbon resource, whereby the marine deposits far outweigh the terrestrial ones. Their broad geographic distribution, especially in comparison to oil and conventional gas, make them a promising future source of energy....

We estimate Irish historical landfill quantities from 1960 -2008 and Irish methane emissions from 1968-2006. A model is constructed in which waste generation is a function of income, price of waste disposal and, household economies of scale. A transformation ratio of waste to methane is also...

This paper addresses the assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. The analysis focuses on the shadow prices associated with the reductions in the net emissions, taking into account the carbon sequestration by soils and trees. These estimates are based on a set of farm-unit linear...

This report highlights the opportunities inherent in smart regulatory measures to effectively reduce risks related to hazardous substance emissions and exposure, and underscores the danger of simplistic and ineffective policy. The example of different regulatory approaches used in Germany and...

The challenges that propane companies face in maintaining a balance in inventories during the summer and winter months, and the factors that influence the residential propane demand were addressed. This chapter presents a forecasting model for propane consumption within the residential sector....

"Kühe rülpsen Methan", 25 mal klimaschädlicher als CO2 (Kohlendioxid). Aber die höchsten landwirtschaftlichen Emissionen verursacht synthetischer Dünger für die großen Monokulturen zur Produktion von Kraftfutter in der Intensivlandwirtschaft. Die Düngung verbraucht viel Energie und setzt...

Die gegenwärtige Klimawandeldiskussion ist stark auf CO2-Emissionen, deren Entstehen und Vermeidungsmöglichkeiten fokussiert. Dieser Beitrag in der Reihe "Kurz zum Klima" betrachtet ein weiteres Treibhausgas, das Methan. Die wichtigste anthropogene Quelle stellt mit 42% die Landwirtschaft dar.
