Although emissions are projected to continue decreasing until 2020 in all 27 members of the EU, the 20 % reduction target compared with 1990, endorsed by European leaders in 2007, will remain out of reach without the implementation of additional measures, such as the EU energy and climate change package proposed by the European Commission in January 2008, the agency said.»

Here's just one case in point: As the New York Times reports, the nine Northeastern states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont) that make up the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) have announced an additional 30 % reduction in power plant greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, on top of the 40 % reduction already achieved since the initiative launched in 2009.

In particular, BECI can play a critical role in catalyzing the additional multidisciplinary academic work around carbon removal needed to address the growing scientific consensus (from institutions, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the National Research Council, and the Global Carbon Project) that preventing further climate change likely requires carbon removal in addition to reductions in carbon emissions.

Based on a stricter emissions reduction in the context of a satisfactory international agreement, additional access to credits could be allowed, as well as the use of additional types of project credits or other mechanisms created under the international agreement.

In addition to carbon emissions reduction, our projects yield additional benefits such as improved living conditions and environmental benefits in the project region.

The partners also hope to understand what additional benefits offsetting provides, and whether demand is also driven by risk management concerns, such as the expectation that more widespread emissions reductions may be mandated at some time in the future.

Requires the EPA Administrator to promulgate regulations establishing a program for the issuance of offset credits that: (1) ensure that such offset credits represent verifiable and additional GHG emission reductions or avoidance, or increases in sequestration; (2) ensure that offset credits issued for sequestration offset projects are only issued for GHG reductions that are permanent; and (3) include as reductions in GHGs reductions achieved through the destruction of methane and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or other ozone depleting substances.

(B) effective and cost - effective control technologies, operations, and strategies for additional domestic and international black carbon emissions reductions, such as diesel retrofit technologies on existing on - road, non-road, and stationary engines and programs to address residential cookstoves, and forest and agriculture - based burning;

And while one kWh of natural gas - fired generation emits roughly half as much CO2 as a kWh of coal - fired power, renewables emit no CO2 so each kWh of additional generation delivers a bigger emission reduction punch.

Existing laws such as renewable portfolio standards, energy efficiency resource standards, long - term requirements for additional hydropower and wind power, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions caps will require a significant reduction in natural gas - fired generation throughout New England.

This provision will be critical as at least 65 nations indicated that they will use carbon trading to achieve their emission reduction pledges and an additional 24 will consider the use of carbon trading for this purpose in the future.

Additional: Additionality requires the carbon emission reductions to be above and beyond business as usual.

org, US reductions need to be much greater than average reduction levels required of the entire world as a matter of equity because the United States emissions are among the world's highest in terms of per capita and historical emissions and there is precious little atmospheric space remaining for additional ghg emissions if the world is serious about avoiding dangerous climate change.

This is an additional ethical reason why scientific uncertainty can not now be used by nations as an excuse for refusing to make reductions to their fair share of safe global emissions.

The reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide per new unit of non-hydro «renewable» capacity falls off rapidly as additional «renewable» capacity is added to an electric grid because additional fossil fuel sources must be kept in «spinning reserve» in case the wind dies or the sun goes under a cloud unless hydro is available.
