Sentences with phrase «total emissions figure»

Not exact matches

Once he calculated a total greenhouse gas emissions figure, he used his model to divide the total up among the various coproducts.

At its introduction in 2014 it effectively created the ultra-low emission vehicle segment, notching up 10,000 sales in the UK within the first ten months and amassing a total sales figure of 26,600 by the end of 2016.

At that point, in about 1,000 years, ~ 20 % of our total emissions would remain in the atmosphere, although that ~ 20 % figure for the remnant does creep up as the quantity of CO2 we release gets bigger.

The 20 - 40 x figure for cars relates for pollutants that make up a small % of total emissions so its an apples and pears comparison in terms of magnitude.

@manacker: The «last 15 years» emissions» were only one - third of the total cumulated emissions, IOW «half of the warming» figures out to a longer time lag than 15 years, so I just wondered from where you got the «15 year» figure.

Assuming that human CO2 emissions are going to continue at the same exponential rate we have seen in the past would get us to 1040 ppmv (Vaughan Pratt's Figure 7), a level that is most likely not even possible to reach because of the constraint in total fossil fuel availability).

The total emissions for each year between 2014 and 2017 and the countries that were responsible for the change in emissions are shown in the figure below.

In 1990, emissions of halocarbons and other halogenated compounds occurred almost exclusively in the OECD90 region, which contributed 95 % to the world total (Figure 5 - 19).

On the contrary, Figure 1 is a conservative estimate of potential emissions from tar sands because: the economically extractable amount grows with technology development and oil price; the total tar sands resource is larger than the known resource, possibly much larger; extraction of tar sands oil uses conventional oil and gas, which will show up as additions to the purple bars in Figure 1; development of tar sands will destroy overlying forest and prairie ecology, emitting biospheric CO2 to the atmosphere.

In figure 3b, at the upper end of the curve, where cumulative totals are large, the existence of an emissions floor seems to make little difference to the peak temperature.

This occurs because the cumulative totals include contributions for portions of the emissions floor that are emitted after the time of peak warming, which can have no effect on peak warming, as illustrated by the green curves in figure 1.

We note that figure 4c only contains three likelihood profiles, as we only consider three emission pathways with a hard emissions floor and a cumulative total to 2200 of within 1 per cent of 1 TtC.

Figure 1 (a) represents the corrected visible light from Neptune from 1950 to 2006; (b) shows the temperature anomalies of the Earth; (c) shows the total solar irradiance as a percent variation by year; (d) shows the ultraviolet emission from the Sun (Source: Hammel and Lockwood (2007)-RRB-.

Recent research found that natural solutions like improved management of forests, wetlands, grasslands and agricultural lands can remove about 5.6 GtCO2e of carbon per year by 2030 — a figure equivalent to total global emissions from agriculture in 2014 — at a cost of less than $ 100 per tonne of carbon.

What this figure shows are the global emission trajectories (in Gigatonnes, Gt, of carbon) that are required to limit humanity's total cumulative emissions (that is, the sum total of all carbon that we will ever emit) to a certain level.

These figures do not take into account the recent long - term energy strategy of the European Union (EU), which proposes that by 2020, EU consumption of renewables will increase to 20 percent of total energy use; the proportion of biofuels used in transport will increase to 10 percent; and EU greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced to 20 percent below 1990 levels (European Union, 2007).

Total greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture account for around 15 % of total global emissions, from the IPCC 5th Assessment Report, Working Group 3, Chapter 11, FigureTotal greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture account for around 15 % of total global emissions, from the IPCC 5th Assessment Report, Working Group 3, Chapter 11, Figuretotal global emissions, from the IPCC 5th Assessment Report, Working Group 3, Chapter 11, Figure 11.4

Figure 1 - Fraction of the total human emissions (fossil fuel burning & land use change) that remain in the: a) atmosphere, b) land vegetation and soil, c) the oceans.

The picture that emerges from these figures is one where — in general — developed countries and major emerging economy nations lead in total carbon dioxide emissions.

http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/04/13/3426117/climate-panel-avoiding-catastrophe-cheap/ «Now you might think it would be a no - brainer that humanity would be willing to pay a very high cost to avoid such catastrophes and achieve the low emission «2 °C» (3.6 °F) pathway in the left figure above (RCP2.6 — which is a total greenhouse gas level in 2100 equivalent to roughly 450 parts per million of CO2).

The figures you refer to give the total CO2 - emissions per square meter of solar panel, regardless of their energy production.

Unless Germany brought an additional 40 billion kWh of generation from its older, more carbon - intensive coal - fired power plants offline, this planned uptick in fossil fuel generation would cause the country's overall carbon emissions to rise by as much as 14 % of the country's 2008 total carbon emissions (33 million tons of CO2), illustrated in Figure 1 below.
