This paper describes a method for the allocation of CO2 emission reduction technologies to sources of emissions, based on dynamic programming. The purpose of the application of the method is to develop an efficient strategy of allocating financial means for reducing CO2 emissions from a set of...

The focus of the present paper is on the role of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in addressing road capacity issues, and delivering environmental benefits. For this purpose, three ITS technologies are selected: Driver Assistance Systems (DAS); Automated Highway System (AHS) for passenger...

This paper presents an analysis of a combined solar-cogeneration installation for providing energy services in a set of four residential buildings. Different configurations as regards the number of collectors and their orientation, the number of buildings grouped together, the type of...

In this work, a possible way for partial CO2 emissions reduction from gas turbine exhausts by co-firing with biomass is investigated. The basic principle is the recirculation of a fraction of the exhausts (still rich in oxygen) to a gasifier, in order to produce syngas to mix with natural gas...

Much of China's cement industry still uses outdated kilns and other inefficient technologies, which are obstacles to improving energy efficiency. Huge improvements in energy consumption intensity can be made by improving this technology. To evaluate the potential for energy-saving and CO2...

Industrial sector growth in developing countries requires the provision of alternatives to guarantee sustainable development. Improving energy efficiency and fuel switching are two measures to reduce CO2 emissions in the industrial sector, with natural gas and low-carbon electricity as the most...

We evaluate the potential of China's pendent carbon tax policy in CO2 (carbon dioxide) mitigations from the perspective of interfactor/interfuel substitution. The analysis is conducted by region given that interfactor/interfuel elasticities of substitution are often discrepant among different...

In order to make China's carbon emission policies effectively, it is necessary to estimate the CO2 emissions reduction reasonably of each province in China. This study aims to establish a new measurement method by employing an Inverse Data Envelopment Analysis (InvDEA) with frontier changes to...
