Sentences with phrase «net additional emissions»

Not exact matches

That is true, but both goals, extracting 100 GtC from the atmosphere via improved forestry and agricultural practices (with possibly some assistance from CCS technology) and limiting additional net change of non-CO2 forcings to zero, are feasible and probably much easier than the principal task of limiting additional fossil fuel emissions to 130 GtC.

Emma Ritch, the author of the report, writes that «Any additional years of use result in net carbon savings, equivalent to an average of 168 kg of CO2 per year (the emissions produced in the manufacture and distribution of 22.5 books).»

Vegetation changes associated with a biome shift, which is facilitated by intensification of the fire regime, will modify surface energy budgets, and net ecosystem carbon balance, permafrost thawing and methane emissions, with net feedbacks to additional climate change.

In the near term, federal policy could: i) level the playing field between air captured CO2 and fossil - fuel derived CO2 by providing subsidies or credits for superior carbon lifecycle emissions that account for recovering carbon from the atmosphere; ii) provide additional research funding into air capture R&D initiatives, along with other areas of carbon removal, which have historically been unable to secure grants; and iii) ensure air capture is deployed in a manner that leads to sustainable net - negative emissions pathways in the future, within the framework of near - term national emissions reductions, and securing 2 °C - avoiding emissions trajectories.

Title V: Agricultural and Forestry Related Offsets - Subtitle A: Offset Credit Program From Domestic Agricultural and Forestry Sources -(Sec. 502) Requires the Secretary to establish a program governing the generation of offset credits from domestic agricultural and forestry sources to ensure that: (1) offset credits represent verifiable and additional GHG emission reductions or avoidance, or increased sequestration; and (2) offset credits issued for sequestration offset projects are only issued for GHG reductions that result in a permanent net reduction in atmospheric GHGs.

Offsets are only considered to be an option for companies wanting to contribute to finance additional emission reductions beyond their science - based target / net - zero.

The Plausible Scenario projects that energy - efficient shipping can lead to an estimated emissions reduction of 7.9 gigatons of carbon dioxide - equivalent greenhouse gases from 2020 - 2050, at an additional cost of approximately US$ 915 billion [10] and a net operating savings of US$ 424 billion.

That is true, but both goals, extracting 100 GtC from the atmosphere via improved forestry and agricultural practices (with possibly some assistance from CCS technology) and limiting additional net change of non-CO2 forcings to zero, are feasible and probably much easier than the principal task of limiting additional fossil fuel emissions to 130 GtC.

It is not the infrared emission that cools the surface as in the so - called radiative equilibrium models because the net radiative heat transfer surface to air is about nil, but the evaporation whose thermostatic effect can not be overstated: increasing the surface temperature by +1 °C increases the evaporation by 6 %; where evaporation is 100 W / m ², this removes an additional 6 W / m ² from the surface.

If forests globally were to become a net source of carbon to the atmosphere in the future — an all - too - plausible scenario under climate change — the EF would approach infinity, since additional forest would augment human carbon emissions rather than offset them.

Unfortunately, a comprehensive study carried out by researchers at Oregon State University, and additional contributors from German and French institutions, has shown that, even with optimal management the net gain in carbon emissions from forest - based biofuel production is at least 14 %.

Compared to a policy of zero net immigration, high immigration (at 140,000 per annum) saw our emissions increase by an additional 16 per cent or 65 million tonnes by 2020.

Reducing the UK's carbon emissions by around 60 % by 2030 (as recommended by the CCC) would: * increase UK GDP by 1.1 % in net terms * result in at least 190,000 additional jobs being created across the UK economy * mean households are financially better off compared to a scenario where little is done to reduce emissions.

California's Air Resources Board today released an analysis of the Newhall Ranch environmental plan saying that it «would not result in any net additional» greenhouse - gas emissions «after the mitigation measures are fully implemented.»
