We have pledged to
lower our emissions intensity of our GDP by 20 - 25 % by 2020.
However, it feels that is the strongest of all brown coal generators because of
its lower emissions intensity and the recent refinancing of debt.
While the EU does not have a policy that directly addresses coal generation, the implementation of the EU's 2020 and 2030 climate and energy targets have set the framework for
lowering the emissions intensity of Europe's power system.
Not exact matches
In addition to reduced energy
intensity, carbon dioxide
emissions reflected
lower residential sector demand for heating after a warmer - than - usual winter in 2012.
Aldy's scheme allows that plant to satisfy the standard through a combination of buying
low or zero -
emissions power and making its own power with
lower carbon
intensity.
So if we want to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and
lower the carbon
intensity of our fuel, energy grasses such as miscanthus and switchgrass are going to result in the biggest reductions, not corn stover.»

Or will authorities finally beging to plan where homes and buildings are, tighten up on fuel and
emissions regulations, and do all the things that make peoplpe more healthy AND, oh yes, also mean that factor of two or three
lower carbon
intensity?
If you were to place an IR sensor in space, opposite the sun, to view the earth's surface you would clearly see a glowing surface of higher
intensity on the left with a very
low level
emission on the right.
Among other initiatives, we're proud to have reduced our greenhouse gas
emissions intensity by more than 30 % since 1990; to be the initial developer of a supercritical coal plant that will emit 15 %
lower carbon dioxide than existing plants; to be a founding member of the FutureGen Alliance; to be a part of Australia's
low - carbon Coal 21 program; and to be the only non-Chinese partner in China's zero -
emissions GreenGen project.
«My view is that a Chinese target of a 40 percent reduction in carbon
emissions intensity between 2005 and 2020 would be a continuation of historical trends,» said Jim Watson, from the Tyndall Centre for climate change research in Britain [and whose report on China's carbon scenarios we've discussed on this blog; see previous post «Tyndall Centre Climate Report: High Hopes for
Low Carbon»].
The table above highlights a likely distribution of technologies and other efforts across various energy demand sectors to boost efficiency and
lower the CO2
emissions intensity of energy use.
NERA Economic Consulting (2009) Accounting for Differences in the Timing of
Emissions in Calculating Carbon
Intensity for the California
Low Carbon Fuels Standard (April 2009)
AGL Energy's own interim accounts, released today, make much of the fact that AGL Energy has positioned itself to prosper in the
low carbon environment by being a leader in clean energy and reducing the
emissions intensity of its portfolio.
[1] The Clean Energy Standard Act of 2012 defines «clean» electricity as «electricity generated at a facility placed in service after 1991 using renewable energy, qualified renewable biomass, natural gas, hydropower, nuclear power, or qualified waste - to - energy; and electricity generated at a facility placed in service after enactment that uses qualified combined heat and power (CHP), [which] generates electricity with a carbon -
intensity lower than 0.82 metric tons per megawatt - hour (the equivalent of new supercritical coal), or [electricity generated] as a result of qualified efficiency improvements or capacity additions at existing nuclear or hydropower facilities -LSB-; or] electricity generated at a facility that captures and stores its carbon dioxide
emissions.»
There are ways to mitigate the risk — gas and high efficiency,
low emission (HELE) coal generation decrease the carbon
intensity of energy generation.
The Department of Defense is on track in
lowering fuel
emissions, but still scores
low (pdf) in energy
intensity.
Although our normative messages made salient that the social norm of most other countries is
low -
emissions -
intensity power generation, they also inadvertently made salient that the social norm in Australia is high -
emissions -
intensity power generation.
And France's CO2
emissions intensity from electricity generation is the
lowest — about 20 % of
emissions intensity of electricity generation in Germany and Denmark, the leaders in implementing renewable energy.
The decline in coal CO2
emissions has contributed to a
lower overall carbon
intensity of U.S. energy consumption and kept
emissions below pre-recession levels.
The main reason that effectiveness is less than 100 % is that wind generation displaces the
lower rather than the higher
emissions intensity generators; e.g. wind displaces gas in preference to coal.
Based on this analysis, the top three ways to reduce GHG
emissions at refineries processing heavier crude will be to (1) reduce the amount of hydrogen consumed, (2) increase hydrogen production efficiency (and / or
lower GHG
emissions intensity of hydrogen production), and (3) capture CO2 from the most concentrated, highest volume sources (i.e., FCC and SMR).
For example, California's
Low Carbon Fuel Standard (CA - LCFS) embeds life cycle assessment within the policy to measure
emissions intensity of various transportation fuel pathways through their full life cycle (including extraction, recovery, and transport).
The modeling projects that the vast majority of
emission reductions achieved by these industries under a cap - and - trade program will be from reductions in the
emission -
intensity of their production (e.g., increased energy efficiency, or shifts to
lower -
emission production methods), rather than from declines in production associated with increased imports from unregulated countries.
This trend of rapid decoupling of
emissions from economic output was driven firstly by improvements in energy efficiency and secondly by
lower carbon
intensities, including reduced coal use in China and the United States and growth in
low - carbon renewables such as wind and solar in many parts of the world (Peters et al 2017).
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959378012001215 They showed a
low bias in IPCC evaluations for sea level rise, CO2
emissions, sea ice decline, permafrost melt and carbon feedbacks, rainfall
intensity and northern hemisphere snow cover.
Accepting a carbon price would not limit India to any
lower emission rate or
intensity rate than the US.
The EU, USA and other industrialised countries want to see a deal in which all major economies sign up to targets, either for
emissions reductions or
lower carbon
intensity.
The Alberta government and the oil industry argue for «
intensity - based» targets that would require
lower per - barrel
emissions, but allow growing industries to increase their overall output of carbon dioxide.
The
Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) adopted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) earlier this year (earlier post) requires a 10 % reduction in the average greenhouse gas (GHG)
emission intensity of the state's transportation fuels by 2020.
When you say ``... amenable to collision induced thermal
emissions; which evidently are still
low intensity, because of the molecular sparseness...» must be addressing CO2 for N2's concentration is not sparse of course.
The
emissions intensity of Australia's electricity sector had already decreased before the Tarong and Yallourn announcements:
emissions from electricity generation were 2.4 Mt
lower (and
emissions intensity 7.6 %
lower) in the third quarter of 2012 than in the same period of 2011.
Based on the metric of GHG
emission per unit of economic output (GHG / GDPppp)[10], Annex I countries generally display
lower GHG
intensities per unit of economic production process than non-Annex I countries (see Figure 1.4 b).
