Through 2017, state buildings have thus far reduced their energy use by more than 11 percent under the program, resulting in an estimated $ 45 million in avoided energy costs and 222,000 tons of
avoided greenhouse gas emissions in 2017 alone.
It helps regulate temperatures without the truck engine being on all the time — and for fleets of trucks that can comprise hundreds of humming vehicles, that can translate into thousands of pounds
of avoided greenhouse gas emissions.
Research into other ways to
avoid greenhouse gas emissions from burning coal continues, particularly into so - called post-combustion capture, which captures the CO2 after the coal has been burned.
Therefore, it serves Berkshire shareholders to take proactive steps that
avoid greenhouse gas emissions and impending regulation.
For Renewable Energy Investments,
avoided greenhouse gas emissions were estimated using the approach outlined in the WRI GHG Protocol's Project Protocol.
Countries that paid into the UNDP fund would receive a credit for
the avoided greenhouse gas emissions, potentially offsetting some of their own oil burning.
For one, his published study does not take into account what is called the «substitution effect», which makes another weighty argument for cascading use: «The use of wood products helps to
avoid greenhouse gas emissions that result during the production of non-wood products such as steel or concrete — and that applies equally for each additional cascading stage,» Professor Richter explained.
No one could say what it meant for the carbon market as a whole if it is indeed determined that one third of the whole volume of CERs don't represent any actually abated or
avoided greenhouse gas emissions.
This avoids greenhouse gas emissions in two ways: It avoids methane emissions from manure by «digesting» the slurry and combusting the methane.
Our calculation also omits carbon emissions reductions from avoided fossil fuel use, addressing BECS with respect to BCDR only, without including its potential value for energy security or as an alternative to fossil fuels to
avoid greenhouse gas emissions.
