We focus on ruminant livestock since it has the highest emissions intensity across food sectors... While shifting consumption patterns in wealthy countries from imported to domestic livestock products reduces GHG emissions associated with international trade and transport activity, we find that these transport emissions reductions are swamped by changes in global emissions due to differences in GHG emissions intensities of production.

And while China is still not committed to absolute emissions reductions in global climate negotiations, experts say its «intensity - based» U.N. carbon reduction targets, which are based on improving the relative efficiency of industrial processes, could be as effective as Western - style absolute cuts in emissions.

«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.

Relative to the current SGER system, individual firm performance becomes valuable, while historic emissions intensity is devalued.

Analysis of CO2 emission trends in four major cement - producing countries showed that energy efficiency improvement and reduction of clinker content in cement were the main factors contributing to emission reduction, while the carbon intensity of fuel mix in all countries increased slightly.

Importantly, while output - based allocations can essentially eliminate the leakage that is associated with the reduced international competitiveness of domestic industry, if carefully designed, these allocations can do so while preserving incentives for industry to reduce the emission - intensity of its production.

While intensity reduces, absolute emissions can grow if activity growth is high.

While rising anthropogenic emissions due to increased economic growth have been established as the driver of accelerated atmospheric CO2 this study shows that both the slow down of natural sinks and the halt to improvements in carbon intensity are contributing more than one third of the increase.
