Sentences with phrase «cumulative emission reductions»

Over the entire study period, cumulative emission reductions total 6.4 billion metric tons.

A global phase - down could avoid 1.1 — 1.7 billion metric tons CO2 equivalent (CO2 equivalent is a measure used to compare impacts of greenhouse gases based on their global warming potential in relation to CO2) of GHG emissions per year by 2030, with cumulative emission reductions of nearly 100 billion metric tons CO2 equivalent by 2050.

Requires the EPA Administrator to promulgate regulations establishing a program to use emission allowances set aside to reduce GHG emissions from deforestation in developing countries, with the objectives to: (1) achieve 720 million tons of reductions in 2020 and a cumulative emission reduction of 6 billion tons by 2025, (2) build institutional capacities in developing nations; and (3) preserve intact, native forests.

This conflation is highly problematic: according to IEA modeling for a two - degree future, CCS is expected to «deliver 13 % the cumulative emissions reductions needed by 2050.»

Cumulative emissions reductions to 2060, by source of savings.

In the IEA's Energy Technology Perspectives 2012 2 °C Scenario (2DS), CCS contributes about one ‐ seventh of cumulative emissions reductions from a business ‐ as - usual scenario through 2050.

Figure 3.23: Cumulative emissions reductions for alternative mitigation measures for 2000 to 2030 (left - hand panel) and for 2000 - 2100 (right - hand panel).

Not exact matches

By framing the issue in terms of a carbon budget based around cumulative emissions, the IPCC's most recent report showed that it doesn't necessarily matter what short - term emissions reduction targets are adopted, or which country cuts emissions by a particular amount relative to another nation's pledges.

For the sake of estimating the potential cost, let us assume that it proves necessary to extract 100 ppm of CO2 (yielding a reduction of airborne CO2 of about 50 ppm) and let us assign each country the responsibility to clean up its fraction of cumulative emissions.

Nonetheless, it adds that emissions reductions achieved through its credits system, known as the Joint Crediting Mechanism, will be «appropriately counted», and will add up to a cumulative 50 - 100m tonnes of CO2 by 2030.

Outcomes The cumulative savings for direct emission reductions from electricity use are greater than the combined annual electricity consumption of Disneyland Resort in California, Disneyland Paris, and Hong Kong Disneyland.

This is particularly important because climate change is cumulative and there is a time lag between emissions and impacts; therefore an earlier reduction is worth more than a later one of the same magnitude.

The relationship between cumulative emissions and peak warming allows us to show how delaying mitigation in the short term creates the need for more rapid emission reductions later, in order to stay below a given cumulative emissions limit.

Happily, Hsu debunks the notion of «emissions certainty» that was used to sell cap - and - trade, by pointing out that for a «stock» pollutant such as CO2 that persists in the atmosphere for a century, the objective must be cumulative rather than annual reductions.

A new analysis of climate commitments by the six biggest emerging economies — Brazil, China, India, South Africa, Mexico and South Korea — suggests that their cumulative emissions add up to a 25 percent reduction compared to «business as usual» projections for 2020.

Hohne said these six countries make up roughly two - thirds of the developing world emissions, which are more than half of the global total; include everybody and you get a 16 percent reduction in cumulative emissions from the developing world.

These four categories of transport mitigation options tend to be interactive, and emission reductions are not always cumulative.

Reductions in some short - lived human - induced emissions that contribute to warming, such as black carbon (soot) and methane, could reduce some of the projected warming over the next couple of decades, because, unlike carbon dioxide, these gases and particles have relatively short atmospheric lifetimes.The amount of warming projected beyond the next few decades is directly linked to the cumulative global emissions of heat - trapping gases and particles.

For the sake of estimating the potential cost, let us assume that it proves necessary to extract 100 ppm of CO2 (yielding a reduction of airborne CO2 of about 50 ppm) and let us assign each country the responsibility to clean up its fraction of cumulative emissions.

This is based on a cumulative abatement target for a reduction of 5 % of emissions by 2020.

Fourteen percent reduction in cumulative GHG emissions, which will save $ 400 billion in avoided global damages

As the paper states: «Due to early emissions reductions, S3 achieves lower cumulative emissions in 2050 than a pathway that linearly reduces emissions between 2020 and 2050 policy targets.»

The aggregate cumulative emissions for the U.S., EU, and China are shown in Figure 2, subject to the further (pessimistic) assumption that there are no further reductions in U.S. and EU emissions past 2030.

If the growth rate is brought to zero linearly over the next 15 years, the Chinese emission rate curve looks like the lower (blue) curve and would have lower cumulative emissions than the abrupt scenario even if there are no reductions in emission rate beyond 2030.
