For the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, governments of annex I countries need to develop strategies and policies for greenhouse gas reduction. Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) offer CO2 emission reduction opportunities both home and abroad. Selection of effective forestry opportunities is a complex decision process based on mul...
The presentation will focus on the interplay between economic scenarios (based on energy demand and CO2 emission reduction) with long run-public policies. The French case will be discussed in more detail.

With the rapid expansion of the global motor vehicle population, the transportation sector has taken up a growing proportion among all the carbon dioxide emission-related sectors. To contribute to solutions of the carbon dioxide-oriented problem in transportation, this paper proposes the “ALL FREE” concept that applies partial oxidation process ins...

We evaluated and ran simulations for seven proposals for the reduction of global CO2 emissions (e.g., those of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), United Nations Development Program, and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). All the proposals ignored the fact that the cumulative CO2 emissions per capita for devel...

Global warming tends to be the major characteristics of the dramatic global climate change. To deal with these changes, the impact of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission on Chinese future economic and social development has to be assessed. In this paper, a Regional Integrated model of Climate and the Economy (RICE), which is well known and accep...
It is very likely that human being is contributing to the process of global warming. Industrial activities such as cement production are among the largest sources of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, there are ongoing efforts to reduce the CO2 emissions attributed to the cement production. In order to be able to systematically iden...

A lot of energy is required for drying the sewage sludge produced during the wastewater treatment process in China; however, on the other hand, the thermal energy in flue gas from power plants is usually wasted as it discharges into the atmosphere. In this study, a new technique for sludge drying is introduced. The key component of the new techniqu...
In times of global warming, climate change and international summits, the debate, even in the field of design, is often limited to materials, production and technologies. Today, however, through a "systemic planned management" is finally possible to improve, albeit in part, these criticisms in particular by acting on the efficiency of logistics flo...
The adopted Energy Efficiency Directive stresses the importance of using excess heat as a way to reach the EU target of primary energy consumption. Utilization of industrial excess heat may result in decreased energy demand, CO2 emissions reduction, and economic gains. In this study, an energy systems analysis is performed with the aim of investiga...
