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).

Not exact matches

As the Saturn kilometric radiation (so known because the radio emissions» wavelengths are measured in kilometers), or SKR, emanates from the gas - giant planet, its intensity oscillates every 10.5 hours or so, nearly in concert with the planet's rotation.

To prove their concept of this multiplex spectral microgel analysis within a microfluidic flow, the team used «different barcodes corresponding to different emissions at specific wavelengths and the fluorescence intensity of known microRNA concentration,» which was measured for calibrations of the specific microRNA being explored.

«Nonlinear stage - scanning confocal microscopy is critical because it allows us to rapidly measure the nonlinear emission from thousands of different nanostructures while minimizing the potential systematic errors, such as intensity or beam pointing variations, often associated with tuning the wavelength of an ultrafast laser,» O'Brien says.

The first and last picture of each set measured had ten single corresponding spots compared for loss of emission intensity.

Fluorescence intensities were measured at an excitation wavelength of 340 or 380 nm and an emission wavelength of 510 nm, with a fluorescence spectrometer (Hitachi F - 2500) during stimulation as indicated in Fig. 5.

The long - term rise shows that even with steady reduction in emissions compared to economic growth (that old «intensity» measure preferred by the Bush administration), emissions still rise overall along with the American population and resulting resource consumption.

He then described Mr. Bush's chosen way of measuring progress — by tracking the amount of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of gross domestic product (tons per dollar)-- and said the country was on track to reach Mr. Bush's goal, set in 2002, of an 18 percent drop in greenhouse «intensity» by 2012.

However, Obama's offer on emissions was for absolute emissions, not the «carbon intensity» measure linked to GDP levels that China prefers.

In its action plan for the Paris COP21 meet, India pledges to reduce its carbon intensity — a measure of a country's emissions relative to its economic output — by 35 percent by 2030, rather than an absolute cut in emissions.

The carbon intensity of production, a measure of CO2 emissions per unit of GDP, dropped by just 0.7 per cent in 2009, well below the long term average of 1.7 per cent per year.

China has said it will try to voluntarily reduce its emissions of carbon dioxide per unit of economic growth — a measure known as «carbon intensity» — by 40 to 45 percent by 2020, compared with 2005 levels.

Liquid biofuels might offer advantages in terms of emissions — though clearly not on measures of water intensity — but they have a very tall mountain to climb to become capable of delivering energy on the scale required for the world's growing air, sea and land transportation needs, including not just developing Asia but now also Africa.

One difference that had to be addressed, says Group Project member Gavin Feiger, is that «Here, we measure straight emissions, but in China they measure emissions as a percentage of GDP, or emissions «intensity».

In India, nine IGHGP members, including the nation's largest automobile, cement, and chemical companies, have committed to reduce GHG emissions intensity by at least 20 percent, most by 2020, and have agreed to work with their supply chains to measure and manage emissions.
