▼ As the culprit of global warming, the emission of carbon dioxide has gradually become one of the most severe and environmental concerns haunting the human beings for several decades. These emissions are mainly generated from the combustion of fossil fuels - the main energy resources for our daily life, economic growth and industrial development (Chen, Kim, & Ahn, 2012). In order to prevent global warming deteriorating, it is urgent for all humankind to seek effective and feasible methods to capture and store carbon dioxide. Undoubtedly, Porous solid materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are very promising candidates for this application due to their extraordinary capability of capturing Carbon dioxide and excellent regenerative ability as compared to other materials. The study is to explore the feasibility of a method to synthesize layered MOFs by introducing new organic linkers into amorphous state precursors.; Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composed of metal ions and organic linkers to form various dimensional structure, emerge as the cost-effective materials for carbon dioxide capture and separation. Due to the desirable pore property like high surface area, excellent uniformity, and tunable pore size, the MOFs attract a great deal of researchers fixating on solving carbon dioxide issue. On the one hand, by replacing the original organic linkers with the specific organic linkers, the MOFs properties can be modified to make the particular application in the certain field. On the other hand, the selection of multiple metal ions such as some transition metals also make the configurations of MOFs diverse.; The purpose of the study is to search for a feasible and cost-reducing process to form new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by hypothetically introducing new organic linkers such as BPBDC (Biphely-4,4-Dibenzoic acid), BDC (Terephthalic acid), DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) into the amorphous state of original metal-organic frameworks. Meanwhile, by altering the reaction conditions (reaction time, reaction temperature, the polarity of the solvent, sample preservation state, air condition, the number of organic linkers), the crystallinity and morphology of new layered MOFs can be optimized in the study.

▼ This study demonstrates the utility of tree ring radiocarbon analysis to quantify a temporal record of recently-added fossil fuel-derived
carbon dioxide (CO₂ff) in the urban atmosphere, to retrospectively measure
emissions and potentially validate local
emissions inventories. Currently, there is no internationally recognised method to test
emissions inventories against direct atmospheric estimations of CO₂ff. With the increasing interest in
emissions control legislation, independent and objective research to validate
emissions reported by governments and industries is needed.
As CO₂ff
emissions are completely depleted in radiocarbon (¹⁴C), an observed decrease in the ¹⁴C content of the atmosphere is mostly due to additions of CO₂ff. As trees incorporate CO₂ from the local atmosphere into annual growth rings, it was hypothesised that an urban located tree would reflect emission rates of its local surroundings. Measurements of the ¹⁴C content of cellulose were made from the annual tree rings of a Kauri tree (Agathis australis), located in the downtown area of the Wellington suburb of Lower Hutt (KNG52). This record was compared with tree rings from two Kauri at a nearby coastal site (NIK19 and NIK23) and the long-term clean air ¹⁴CO₂ record from Baring Head. The clean air Kauri trees, NIK19 and NIK23, demonstrated excellent agreement with the Baring Head atmospheric record, indicating that the trees were accurately sampling the atmosphere. The KNG52 tree, demonstrated good agreement with the clean air record in the early part of the record (with some variability), however, exhibited significantly lower Δ¹⁴CO₂ values from the 1980s onward. Calculation of the influence of the terrestrial biosphere on the ¹⁴CO₂ record showed very little impact, determining that the variability seen was due to local additions of CO₂ff.
Historic CO₂ff
emissions were calculated using the Δ¹⁴CO₂ measurements from the KNG52 ¹⁴CO₂ record for the period 1972 – 2012. Biosphere correction calculations showed that the biosphere was the dominant influence on the record in the early part of the record (1972 – 1980), with fossil fuel
emissions dominating the record from 1980s onward. The observations were compared qualitatively with meteorological data and urban development in the area to assess variability in CO₂ff. A minor trend towards lower wind speeds associated with higher levels of CO₂ff was identified, indicating that local meteorology may be responsible for 10% change seen in the record. The influence of local development demonstrated some possible relation but a correlation was not significant. The KNG52 CO₂ff record was compared with national-level reported liquid (road traffic)
emissions from the
Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Centre (CDIAC). The observed KNG52 CO₂ff in the tree ring record appeared to increase in tandem with road traffic
emissions.

▼ Adsorption of co2 on mineral surfaces accounts for a small percentage of the terrestrial co2 sink. Volcanic ash is virtually free of co2 when erupted and has a high surface area resulting in a high capacity for co2 adsorption. Volcanism is commonly assumed to be only a source of co2, but pyroclastic eruptions can also potentially serve as a sink. Adsorption was investigated for 6 volcanic ash samples of andesitic composition from four volcanoes: Okmok, Redoubt, Spurr, and Tungurahua. The eruption of volcano redoubt released 0.75 x 109 metric tons of co2 and 55 x 109 kg of ash throughout the 3 week eruption. The eruption of mount Spurr released 85,000 co2 and 36 x 109 kg of ash throughout the duration of the eruption. The eruption of volcano Tungurahua released 29 x 109 kg of ash. Co2
emissions from the eruption of volcano Tungurahua were not measured. Co2
emissions and mass of tephra released from the eruption of mount Okmok were not measured. The calculations for adsorption percent for these two volcanos were performed using the ash/co2 ratio from mount Spurr and volcano Redoubt. The ratio was then applied to Okmok and Tungurahua to solve for co2
emissions for each of these ratios. The calculations for co2 adsorption for mount Okmok were performed using the mass of tephra from volcano Kasatochi (an adjacent, similar erupting volcano). Adsorption on each of the six ash samples ranged from 34.3 to 67.2 mg of co2 per kg of ash. Adsorption ranged from 0.04 to 0.45 mg co2 per m2 volcanic ash.

▼ Concrete underpins ancient and modern engineered cities, and combined with steel is a key material used in modern construction. Architects have the capacity to influence the uptake of energy efficient systems used in construction. The 3.3 billion tonne p.a. Portland cement industry generates almost 10% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. With the latent and rapid industrialisation of China and India and other developing countries, cement demand is projected to double to 6 billion tonnes p.a. by 2050. An alternative technology, geopolymer, uses an alkali activator which combines high portions of industrial by-product to form an alternative binder for concrete. There is much debate in industry regarding the environmental and structural performance of geopolymers. This thesis re-evaluates the carbon dioxide emissions associated with geopolymers, and examines key material attributes affecting viability. The appropriate manufacturing path for the alkali activator can achieve a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of 59 - 92% compared to Portland cement. At present there is some limited commercial uptake of geopolymer concrete in select markets such as Russia, Australia and China. However, there is no wide global-scale utilisation. Barriers and opportunities for uptake are reviewed in this thesis. A saving of 600 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over the next four decades will be needed to achieve the stabilisation of greenhouse gas emissions concentrations between 450 and 550 parts per million of carbon dioxide emissions equivalent. With this mounting challenge, combined with the activation of global carbon markets predicted to be worth in excess of AUD 1 trillion within 5-10 years, there is likely to be growing interest in cement sector technologies which can deliver major reductions in carbon dioxide emissions.

▼ Saudi Arabia is the greatest exporter of oil in the world and also the country with greatest desalination capacity. It is considered a rich country but not a developed one. Because water is scarce while energy is abundant, it becomes important to evaluate the environmental performance of populations in Saudi Arabia with regards to these two aspects. King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is a gated community in Saudi Arabia with high living standards where water and energy are free of cost (no constraint over use). Four environmental sustainability indicators were used to determine the environmental performance of KAUST in comparison to other countries. It was found that per capita, KAUST is between the five greatest water and energy consumers in the world. Important factors to this result are the fact that KAUST is still under construction, that the peak capacity for permanent residents has not yet been reached and that there is little control over the water and energy systems at KAUST. It was concluded that KAUST should reduce its water and energy consumption per capita. To this means, some proposed solutions were to have wide-spread awareness-raising campaigns to all people working and living in KAUST, and to improve control over air conditioning control systems.

▼ Deforestation contributes approximately 20 percent of global annual
carbon dioxide
(CO2)
emissions. Increased CO2 is thought to contribute to increased global temperatures.
Proposals have been brought forward to use
carbon finance to compensate developing
countries for reducing
emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD).
International negotiations at the UN Climate Change Convention in Copenhagen in
December 2009 will determine if REDD Offsets will be included in a post-Kyoto
Protocol framework. At the time of writing, Canada proposes to achieve a 20 percent
reduction in greenhouse
emissions below 2006 levels by 2020 through an intensity based
cap-and-trade scheme. International forestry-based offsets are specifically excluded from
the proposed Canadian regulatory scheme. The international demand for REDD Offsets
will likely grow with acceptance under the proposed US scheme, and others. With proper
regulations, international REDD Offsets could be included in the proposed Canadian
regulatory system providing benefit to regulated entities and the developing world.

▼ Since the Industrial Revolution, human beings have emitted huge amounts of greenhouse gases for economic growth, and greenhouse gases may influence climate. To slow down climate change, everyone has to take action. Recently, the
carbon footprint (CF) labeling on products offers consumers an opportunity to do so in daily shopping. However, so far a CF label reveals only the amount of CO2 emitted during the product's life cycle, but not the product's relative CO2 emission level (i.e., whether the product emitted more or less CO2 than similar products). This study thus hypothesized that the mere presentation of a CF label would not affect consumers' buying intent. To test this and other related hypotheses, this study ran an experiment with 3 independent variables. The variables are amount of CO2 emitted (400gm or 750gm), CO2-saving signal (given or not given) and price (20 NTD or 30 NTD) of the product, which was a tetra-packed tea. In the CO2-saving signal given condition, the experimenter told the participants either that a green CF label denoted low CO2
emissions (in the 400gm condition) or that a green CF label denoted high CO2
emissions (in the 750gm condition). The label shown, in fact, was always green. In the CO2-saving signal not given condition, the experimenter did not explain the meaning of the label color.A convenient sample of 240 adults joined the experiment. They were randomly assigned to the experiment conditions. Each participant saw a picture of a tetra-packed tea with a CF label and listed price. Results showed that when CO2-saving signal was given, the low-CO2-high-price tea could induce higher buying intent than the high-CO2-low-price tea. When CO2-saving signal was not given, the two conditions did not differ in buying intent. Furthermore, participants' environmental attitudeâas measured a scale adapted from Dunlap and van Liere's (1978) New Environmental Paradigm Scaleâdid not qualify the above results. These findings suggest that CF label can neither help nor encourage people to choose low-CO2 products, unless it is complemented with a clear CO2-saving signal.

▼ Emissions of greenhouse gases from the combustion of fossil fuels, in particular carbon dioxide (CO2), are a major contributor to global climate change. In the United States 28% of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion are produced by road vehicles. This dissertation reports the results of three studies that improve on our knowledge of the spatial and temporal distribution of vehicle CO2 emissions in the U.S. over the last 35 years. Using bottom-up data assimilation techniques we produce several new high-resolution inventories of vehicle emissions, and use these new data products to analyze the relationships between emissions, population, employment, traffic congestion, and climate change at multiple spatial and temporal scales across the U.S. We find that population density has a strong, non-linear effect on vehicle emissions, with increasing emissions in low density areas and decreasing emissions in high density areas. We identify large biases in estimates of vehicle CO2 emissions by the most commonly used national and global inventories, and highlight the susceptibility of spatially-downscaled inventories to local biases in urban areas. We also quantify emissions of several air pollutants regulated by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, at hourly and roadway scales for the metropolitan area surrounding Boston, MA. Emissions of these pollutants show high emissions gradients across identifiable spatial hotspots, considerable diurnal and seasonal variations, and a high sensitivity to the presence or absence of heavy-duty truck traffic. We also find that the impact of traffic congestion on air pollution emissions across the region is minimal as a share of the total emissions. We show that policies that combine a reduction in the number of vehicles on the road with a focus on improving traffic speeds have greater success in reducing emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases than policies that focus solely on improving traffic speeds. Finally, we estimate that regional emissions of carbon monoxide will increase by 3% in 2050, but with numerous localized increases of 25-50%, due to an expected rise in mean regional temperatures due to global climate change.

▼ In addition to reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion, removing atmospheric CO2 may be critical to limit global warming to less than two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels recommended by leading experts. Since cropland occupies 11% of the earth’s land and is intensively managed, cropland agriculture provides one approach for removing CO2 from the atmosphere to mitigate climate change. However, current assessments indicate agriculture is a net emitter of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, and it is unclear how soil management can effect carbon sequestration.In this work micrometeorological methods are used to measure the exchange (flux) of CO2 between the surface and atmosphere and can assess whether an agricultural ecosystem is a source or sink for carbon. Three studies were performed using micrometeorology to understand agriculture’s potential to sequester carbon.Using Bowen Ratio Energy Balance (BREB) micrometeorological methods, the first study measured CO2 flux from a maize crop grown on no-till and tilled soils to determine tillage effects on CO2 emissions during 104 days of the 2015 maize growing season in north central Ohio. During this period, the no-till plot sequestered CO2, while the tilled plot was a net emitter.A second study determined if industrial biotechnology waste reutilization in agriculture could reduce CO2 emissions and generate environmental benefits, while meeting farmer yield expectations. Using both BREB and eddy covariance (EC) micrometeorological methods, CO2 flux was measured over maize where heat-inactivated, spent microbial biomass (SMB) amendment was land applied and compared with typical farmer practices from October 2016 to October 2017 in Loudon, Tennessee. While treatments with SMB emitted more CO2 than farmer practices, the SMB applications produced yields similar to farmer practices.Using BREB micrometeorology methods, the third study measured CO2 emissions over conservation agriculture (CA) practices as compared to conventional tillage from June 2013 to May 2016 in central Zimbabwe. The CA practices of no-till and cover crops produced significantly fewer CO2 emissions than conventional tillage.These studies demonstrate that micrometeorology can detect short- and long-term differences in CO2 flux between practices, providing data supporting agriculture’s potential to reduce CO2 emissions and sequester carbon.

▼ Following the initiation of the European Union
Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) in 2005 the scheme has received significant criticism pertaining to a lack of transparency in its operational mechanics and an inability to present conclusive evidence that it has encouraged a reduction in monitored
emissions. This study utilizes an adaptation of the event study methodology proposed by Ball and Brown (1968) and Fama et al. (1969) in order to assess the impact of the EU ETS on
emissions in the European oil and gas sector as a sample reflective of the scheme on the whole. In doing so, this study compares the annual
emissions of
carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane for dual listed, single listing and cross listed oil and gas companies on the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange and how these
emissions change over the period 2000-2017; from prior to the EU ETS until the period of most recent data availability. Analysis conducted on the data gathered infers that, while the EU ETS may have exerted some influence on operators’ behavior, the scheme has generally been ineffective in achieving its goal of lowering
emissions and encouraging economic growth.
This study also explores the limitations of the EU ETS and potential drivers of
emissions changes for operators within the scheme. Through such discussion the intention is to better understand the tradeoff between the advantages of cap-and-trade, a quantity mechanism, and
emissions taxation, a pricing mechanism. These mechanisms comprise the majority of the presently adopted
emissions policies globally, including the EU ETS, and China’s and Canada’s
emissions trading schemes. Therefore, in better understanding the implications and effects of these mechanisms, the intention is to contribute to the future adoption and implementation of global
emissions policies.

▼ Given the energy intensive nature of the South
African economy and the country’s dependence on fossil fuels, the
reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions poses a serious problem
to poverty alleviation, economic growth and employment. This study
assesses the inter-industry and macro-economic impacts of
carbon
dioxide emissions reduction in South Africa. A monetary energy
input-output table was developed using data from supply and use
tables and a physical energy-
emissions input-output table was
developed from the national energy balance and the country’s GHG
inventory. Both tables were used to develop the energy-
emissions
input-output model.
Carbon dioxide taxes and energy subsidy reform
were selected as potential economic policy instruments for analysis
in South Africa. The energy-
emissions input-output model was used
to analyse the implications of the selected policy scenarios in
terms of their effect on gross domestic product (GDP), employment,
household consumption, energy consumption and energy
emissions
reduction. According to the energy-
emissions input-output model
developed in this study, financial and community services,
construction and accommodation and machinery and equipment have the
largest final demand and value added while nuclear energy, natural
gas and biomass have the smallest final demand and value added.
Renewable energy is labour intensive but not energy intensive as
this energy sector has the highest labour to value added and the
lowest energy to labour and energy to value added ratios. The
petroleum products sector is the least labour intensive and the
most energy intensive as it has a low labour to value added ratio
and high energy to labour and energy to value added ratios. For
every one unit increase in biomass, renewable energy and nuclear
energy results in the largest increase in output, income and
employment while machinery and equipment, natural gas and gold and
other mining sectors have the lowest increase in simple and total
output, income and employment multipliers. There is not much
movement between natural gas, nuclear energy, renewable energy and
biomass and the rest of the economy. Coal and crude oil have a
relatively moderate impact and are moderately impacted on by other
industries in the economy. Although almost all other industries in
the economy depend heavily on electricity and petroleum products,
these two industries are not as heavily dependent on other
industries. Coal is responsible for the largest direct primary
energy
emissions followed by crude oil while natural gas; nuclear
energy, renewable energy and biomass have a low direct impact. The
electricity sector accounts for the highest indirect impact on coal
emissions and petroleum products have the highest indirect impact
on crude oil
emissions. The petroleum products sector has the
highest indirect impact on natural gas
emissions. The electricity
sector is largely responsible for the direct impact on coal
emissions in terms of total economic output and the petroleum
products sector accounts for all crude oil…

▼ In this dissertation, different configurations of solar powered organic Rankine cycles (ORC) are investigated. The configurations include: a basic ORC, a regenerative ORC (R-ORC), and a basic ORC with electric energy storage (EES) (ORC-EES). The basic ORC and the R-ORC are evaluated using different dry organic fluids based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics and electricity production. The performance of both ORC systems is based on the potential for primary energy consumption (PEC) and
carbon dioxide emission (CDE) savings, the electricity production, and the available capital cost (ACC) for the system. The R-ORC and basic ORC are both evaluated in Jackson, MS and Tucson, AZ to determine the effect of hourly solar irradiation and ambient temperature on both systems. For the basic ORC a parametric analysis is performed to determine the effects of cycle pressure, temperature, solar collector area, and turbine efficiency on the system performance. Similarly, for the R-ORC, a parametric analysis investigating the effect of open feed organic fluid heater intermediate pressure and turbine efficiency on the R-ORC is performed. Finally an ORC connected to an EES device located in Tucson, AZ is studied. The ORC-EES supplies electricity to three different commercial buildings. The ORC-EES is modeled to be charging when irradiation is available and discharging when there is not enough irradiation to generate electricity from the ORC. The performance of the system is based on the amount of electricity supplied, the potential for PEC, CDE, and cost savings, and the ACC. The effect of solar collector area on the percentage of supplied electricity, EES device size, and cost savings is also studied. It was determined that all the evaluated ORC configurations have the potential to produce PEC, CDE, and cost savings, but their performance is affected by the organic working fluid, solar collector area, and the location where the system is installed.

▼ In the agricultural industry, the importance of transportation costs is considerably heightened as fuel and labor costs rise. Logistic cooperation is an important strategic alternative to reduce transportation costs and increase
efficiencies. Georgia’s ornamental industry is characterized by producers that share clients, routes and origins; however, each producer has an independent transportation system. This paper analyzes a case study to determine if a transportation alliance
through a horizontal cooperation and routing junction among ornamental producers in Georgia would reduce shipping costs, increase distribution efficiencies and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Results showed that, with the use of the GIS ArcLogistics 9.3
software, transportation alliances in the ornamental industry are profitable in terms of transport efficiencies and internal and external costs. Total cost savings per shipping cycle ranged from 1.0% to 13.2%, total miles driven savings from 1.1% to
13.6%, total number of trucks savings from 2.5% to 10.0% and driving hours savings from 1.0% to 18.4%. CO2 emissions savings were also achieved, ranging from 1.2% to 8.4% per shipping cycle.

▼ Carbon Dioxide is one of the primary greenhouse gases present in the Earth’s atmosphere and is driving global climate change. The power sector is the single largest source of
carbon pollution in the United States. The EPA has recently designed a federal rule called the Clean Power Plan to reduce
carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants in the U.S.
The purpose of this work is to study the impact of the Clean Power Plan on the PJM Interconnection and to compare the impacts of different strategies to achieve state
emissions goals. Scenarios are designed to evaluate the environmental impacts and cost-effectiveness of three different compliance strategies and ascertain how these strategies interact with one another. The three main strategies analyzed in this thesis are 1) participating in interstate CO2
emissions trading, 2) increasing the operational efficiency of existing coal-fired power plants, and 3) increasing the amount of wind generation capacity.
This thesis uses a unit commitment model to simulate a range of different scenarios and policy structures, and I compare the resulting cost and generation mix tradeoffs. I simulate the enforcement of the Clean Power Plan federal rule in this model by placing a limit on the total tons of CO2 that can be emitted over a certain period of time.
The strategies simulated do not change the overall CO2
emissions, which is always equal to the emission cap imposed, but they vary with respect to the cost of compliance with the Clean Power Plan and the fraction of coal generation at risk of premature retirement. Electricity prices and total system cost will increase with compliance in all scenarios studied, as compared with a baseline case with no
emissions limit. Coal generation is displaced by natural gas generation in all scenarios, when compared with the no
carbon cap baseline. The relative economic and regulatory effectiveness of the strategies is framed in terms of the tradeoffs between the cost of meeting the cap and coal’s share of cumulative generation. The overall result is that increasing wind capacity reduces the risk of premature coal unit retirements whereas improving coal efficiency reduces economic risks, and that states compliance costs can reduce by cooperating within an
emissions trading framework.

▼ The government must consider the scope of the impact and the consequences when it chooses a new energy policy. This study using EViews software, uses the time series analysis method to analyze energy consumption,
carbon dioxide emission and economic growth through the data of Taiwan and Korea from 1990 to 2014.
In Taiwan the empirical results show that there is a two-way causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth, avoiding the impact of energy consumption on the economy, we should increase energy efficiency and replace fossil fuels with renewable energies. Economic growth and
carbon dioxide emissions have a one-way causal relationship, indicating that in order to maintain the stability of economic growth and environment, should consider energy transformation or the implementation of
carbon trading.
Carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption have a two-way causal relationship, should be fully and use of renewable energy.
In South Korea, economic growth and energy consumption has a one-way causal relationship, but economic growth and
carbon dioxide emissions,
carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption are not causal relationship, in the implementation of policies, South Korea than Taiwan less restrictive.

▼ There is concern regarding the rise of greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions and the impending effects of global climate change. Soils are the largest pool of C on earth with small changes having potentially significant effects on atmospheric
carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. Soil emits a substantial portion of nitrous oxide (N2O), and is an important sink for balancing atmospheric methane (CH4) through microbial oxidation. Anthropogenic management of soil is therefore critical in mitigating the effect of climate change by increasing biological sinks and reducing GHG
emissions. Due to recent rapid urban expansion and the common use of turfgrass as ground cover and its associated management, these areas are becoming increasingly important for regional accounting of GHG budgets. Golf courses in particular are important economical green spaces that are intensively managed with common practices that include frequent irrigation, mowing and fertilization. Such management practices increase biogeochemical cycling of C and N fine quality turfgrass system and may therefore help mitigate atmospheric CO2 through increase soil organic
carbon (SOC) sequestration. However, intensive management of turfgrass may also increase
emissions of N2O and reduce CH4 oxidation potentials, and therefore it is critical to have a complete account of GHG fluxes in the system. The objective of this dissertation was to estimate the
carbon balance of golf courses using a multifaceted approach that included survey data, ecosystem modelling of C and N dynamics in turfgrass, and a two year field study measuring trace gas fluxes from a golf course using different urea fertilizers. Survey information was collected from Colorado golf courses regarding energy use from clubhouses, management facilities, and fertilizer and irrigation management, and land use. Further calculations were made from published literature for fertilizer production, N2O
emissions and C offsets through SOC sequestration in regards to land use type. Survey information was also used to evaluate the effects of different management scenarios reported by turfgrass managers in order to simulate SOC accumulation and N2O fluxes using the DAYCENT biogeochemical model on a near (25 yr) and long (50 yr) term time scale. Finally, soil GHG fluxes were monitored using a modified version of the closed chamber method over the course of a two year field study, where the effects of fertilizer treatment, turfgrass site, and soil drainage potential were evaluated. Soil organic C and N were also measured for future analysis from all field plots. Through these efforts we have encompassed critical components required to calculate an overall C balance of golf course facilities maintained in the state of Colorado. Energy consumption from clubhouse and maintenance facilities and irrigation pumping stations were the largest sources of
emissions, therefore increasing energy efficiency may significantly reduce annual
emissions from golf courses. Of the twenty-two golf courses around the state of Colorado that…

▼ Methane is the second most important long-lived greenhouse gas. However, it is typically emitted to the atmosphere by spatially and temporally heterogeneous sources, meaning that local measurements cannot easily be extrapolated to represent global scales. As a consequence, its global sources and sinks are generally poorly quantified. This thesis focuses on the use of airborne observations to improve flux estimates of methane at regional scales. A commercially available cavity-enhanced absorption spectrometer has been modified here for airborne measurements of methane and carbon dioxide. An algorithm employing the system's simultaneous water vapour measurement has been derived, using laboratory experiments, to determine dry air mole fractions without the need for sample drying. The system was found to be relatively independent of the aircraft's motion and its measurements were found to be accurate to within 1.28 ppb (1 standard deviation repeatability at 1Hz of 2.48 ppb) for methane and 0.17 ppm (1 standard deviation repeatability at 1Hz of 0.66 ppm) for carbon dioxide. This new measurement capability has been deployed during three international field campaigns, data from which is used in this thesis. The composition of boreal biomass burning was measured in eastern Canada. Methane emission factors showed a high degree of variability (range 1.8 ± 0.2 to 8.5 ± 0.9 g (kg dry matter)-1), accentuating the challenges with using a purely bottom-up approach to determine total methane emissions and that top-down constraints are needed. Two case studies have shown that an aircraft mass balance approach can be a valuable tool for deriving regional scale top-down flux estimates, when a suitable sampling strategy can be employed under appropriate atmospheric conditions. First, this technique was applied to the European Arctic wetlands; and second, its suitability to derive emissions from a megacity was investigated using London, UK as a test case. On both occasions, the derived fluxes were found to be in good agreement with coincident surface observations within the aircraft's sampling domain. In the case of the Arctic wetlands the excellent agreement with seasonally averaged surface observations allowed this information to be used for the evaluation of land surface models. Two commonly used models, the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator and Hybrid8 were found to underestimate the methane emission flux for this region by an order of magnitude, highlighting the large uncertainties present in future methane emission scenarios at regional scales under a changing climate.

▼ This thesis considers the effect of a large scale wind power introduction into an electricity system and the focus has been on the carbon dioxide emissions. Two different systems were studied, the Swedish and the Danish electricity system. When studying the Swedish electricity system different scenarios were created to see what might happen with the CO2 emissions with an introduction of a large amount of wind power. The model that was used is based on parameters such as regulating power, transmission capacity, export possibility, and the electricity generation mixes in the Nordic countries. Given that the transmission capacity is good enough, the conclusion is that the carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced with a large scale introduction of wind power. In the Danish electricity system wind power is already introduced to a large extent. The main purpose here was to investigate the development of the CO2 emissions and if it is possible to decide the actual change in carbon dioxide emissions due to the large scale introduction of wind power. The conclusions to this part are that the CO2 emissions per kWh produced electricity have decreased since the electricity generation mix has changed but the total amount of CO2 emissions fluctuates depending on weather, in a dry year less hydro power from Norway and Sweden can be used and more electricity from the fossil fuelled CHPs are generated. It has not been possible to determine the influence of the wind power on the CO2 emissions.

▼ A cost efficient test procedure to assess
Carbon Dioxide emissions under mobile air conditioning (MAC) operation is needed. The California Air Resource Board(CARB) is interested in developing an accurate assessment procedure that reflects Californian specific driving conditions to award auto-makers who reduce greenhouse gases under the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. The College of Engineering and Computer Science at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), in collaboration with CARB, instrumented two vehicles (2007 Toyota Camry and 2007 Chevrolet Impala) for extensive over-the-road (OTR) data collection. This data could help CARB determine air conditioning operation factors and provide insight on improving MAC systems. However, the data collected contains a variety of faults, misreadings, and noise.
This thesis project investigates data mining techniques to address cleansing issues in regards to the extensive OTR data collected by the CSUN Mechanical Engineering Department. Due to the size of the data, CSUN's Grid Computer Lab is utilized for data cleansing procedures. Furthermore, a classification technique is develop to classify AC on/off usage as well as four different driving environments: Highway, Urban Open Road, Urban/Heavy Traffic, and Idle Crawl. A reporting mechanism is implemented to provide summaries in regards to data errors and driving statistics. The cleansed data and daily reports will provide insights for researchers interested in California specific MAC operations and
Carbon Dioxide emissions.

▼ This dissertation consists of two chapters. Chapter 1 examines the effect of transportation costs of shipping ethanol on retail gasoline prices over space. The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) of 2007 legislated a new market into existence in the U.S. by mandating that ethanol be blended with petroleum in retail gasoline markets. Using a quantile difference-in-differences econometric approach to analyze weekly retail gasoline price data for over 200 cities from 2007 to 2014, we find evidence that the mandate differentially impacted gasoline prices across the U.S. Specifically, we find that cities farther from ethanol production centers paid higher retail gasoline prices than cities close to ethanol production centers. We argue that the observed retail price differences are driven by market frictions associated with transportation costs for ethanol which, unlike petroleum, cannot be shipped via pipeline. This effect has been exacerbated due to the run-up in ethanol RIN (renewable identification numbers) prices starting in 2013. Importantly, the effect of this market friction on retail gasoline prices varies with the relative prices of ethanol and petroleum blendstock. Our results highlight the spatial incidence associated with the mandated ethanol market. While unanticipated, we argue that these market frictions are not surprising.
In Chapter 2 we investigate the forecasting performance of a variety of individual models found in empirical literature and their linear combinations in the context of carbon dioxide emissions. We conduct out-of-sample forecasting exercise by using state-level data for carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. Forecast error and tests of predictive accuracy are compared both for individual models and their linear combinations. Consistent with reported results on the application of forecast combinations, we show that the forecast combination technique generally improves forecast accuracy. The best performing combination outperforms all the individual models as the forecast horizon increases. More importantly, forecast accuracy from the best performing individual model is not significantly better than that of the best combination forecast. Among the class of forecast combinations considered in this paper, bias-corrected average forecast performs relatively well.

▼ Forested riparian zones, which function as a buffer between agricultural fields and streams, filter out contaminants and sediment from the fields thereby improving water quality, cool the water with shade from trees, stabilize the stream bank and provide habitat for wildlife. However, in many agricultural areas, riparian vegetation has been removed for crop production or pasture purposes. Riparian restoration or rehabilitation is a way of restoring riparian ecosystem functions. This study examines the effect of riparian rehabilitation via tree planting along a first-order creek in Southern Ontario, 25 years after rehabilitation. Litter input, soil quality parameters and soil CO2 production rates were determined for the rehabilitated riparian zone, a grass-forb riparian zone and a natural forest riparian zone. Total litter input was 480, 580 and 295 g m-2 y-1 for the rehabilitated riparian zone, grass riparian zone and forest riparian zone, respectively. Soil bulk density was higher and hydraulic conductivity was lower for the rehabilitated riparian zone compared to the grass riparian zone and forest riparian zone. The concentration and soil stock of organic carbon and total nitrogen was lowest for the rehabilitated riparian zone compared to the grass riparian zone and forest riparian zone which were similar. The effect of riparian zone on soil CO2 production rates varied over the season. From spring to mid-summer, rates were 167, 224 and 104 mg C m-2 h-1 for the rehabilitated riparian zone, grass riparian zone and forest riparian zone, respectively. Soil CO2 production rates did not differ significantly (p < 0.05) between riparian zones for late summer and fall sampling dates. Soil CO2 production rates were significantly negatively correlated with soil C/N and positively correlated with soil pH and litter input. Soil CO2 production rates were positively correlated with soil temperature (r = 0.32) and negatively correlated with soil moisture (r = -0.48). Of the three riparian zones, the natural forest riparian zone exhibited the least amount of seasonal fluctuation for soil CO2 production rates, soil moisture and temperature. Results from this research indicated that more time is needed before soil quality and soil CO2 production rates of the rehabilitated riparian zone reach values similar to the natural forest riparian zone.

▼ Air quality management strategies in the US are developed largely from estimates of
emissions, some highly uncertain, rather than actual measurements. Improved knowledge based on measurements of real-world
emissions is needed to increase the effectiveness of these strategies. Consequently, the objectives of this research were to (1) quantify relationships among urban
emissions sources, land use, and demographics, (2) determine the spatial and temporal variability of
emissions, and (3) evaluate the accuracy of official
emissions estimates.
These objectives guided three field campaigns that employed a unique mobile laboratory equipped to measure pollutant fluxes by eddy covariance. The first campaign, conducted in Norfolk, Virginia, represented the first time fluxes of nitrogen oxides (NOx) were measured by eddy covariance in an urban environment. Fluxes agreed to within 10% of estimates in the National
Emissions Inventory (NEI), but were three times higher than those of an inventory used for air quality modeling and planning. Additionally, measured fluxes were correlated with road density and increased development.
The second campaign took place in the Tijuana-San Diego border region. Distinct spatial differences in fluxes of
carbon dioxide (CO2), NOx, and particles were revealed across four sampling locations with the lowest fluxes occurring in a residential neighborhood and the highest ones at a port of entry characterized by heavy motor vehicle traffic. Additionally, observed
emissions of NOx and
carbon monoxide were significantly higher than those in
emissions inventories, suggesting the need for further refinement of the inventories.
The third campaign focused on
emissions at a regional airport in Roanoke, Virginia. NOx and particle number
emissions indices (EIs) were calculated for aircraft, in terms of grams of pollutant emitted per kilogram of fuel burned. Observed NOx EIs were ~20% lower than those in an international databank. NOx EIs from takeoffs were significantly higher than those from
taxiing, but relative differences for particle EIs were mixed. Observed NOx fluxes at the airport agreed to within 25% of estimates derived from the NEI.
The results of this research will provide greater knowledge of urban impacts to air quality and will improve associated management strategies through increased accuracy of official
emissions estimates.

▼ Inland waters such as streams and lakes have recently been found to be supersaturated with both carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) – the high concentrations resulting in significant natural emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Previous studies have shown that streams emit particularly large amounts of GHGs per area covered, but the spatial variability is very high and has rarely been studied in detail. This study focuses on the variability of aquatic CO2 and CH4 concentrations with high spatial resolution in a hemi-boreal stream. The study area is a 7 km2 catchment in Skogaryd in southwest Sweden. 131 samples were collected and the stream was divided into groups depending on slope gradient and geographical placement. The results show that the concentrations had high spatial variability, especially regarding CH4, and that the concentrations are higher and more variable at lower slope gradients, which possibly indicates an increased gas exchange at higher slopes. The results also showed that concentrations can increase or decrease sharply over short distances in relation to changing slope gradient. This shows that frequent spatial sampling is needed to more accurately represent streams than what is often the case in many studies. A general distance between sampling locations could not be found due to the high variability of concentrations. Instead, the authors suggest that future studies of CO2 and CH4 concentrations in streams use a stratified random sampling strategy based on slope gradients.

▼ Florida's unique ecosystem-consisting of porous limestone, coastal property, and abundant energy resources-is a significant reason for the state government to consider an environmental policy to mitigate potential threats to the vitality of this ecosystem associated with current and future climate change. Presently, Florida is already facing concurrent, and often related, economic and environmental crises that can be linked to inadvertent climate modifications. Based on readily available measures identified in the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, this study recommends the state of Florida implements a climate disturbance and adaptation fee as a method of mitigating risks associated with inadvertent climate modifications.

▼ The Swedish government set a climate goal until the year 2045, to not produce any greenhouse gases until 2045. This study is based on the problems surrounding the climate impact from the construction and real estate sector in Sweden. The construction company Skanska has made a major contribution with the recently new project Juvelen, which today is Sweden's most sustainable building. The demand for constructing buildings with lesser environmental impacts is increasing and constructions as Juvelen may be an important factor to achieve climate goals. Purpose: This study was done to determine the carbon dioxide emissions during the construction phase of Juvelen, which includes the production phase and transports to the construction site, as well as the operational phase. Method: This study is based on a literature study, case study, and a reference object. During the case study, interviews were conducted with various people who have participated in the production of Juvelen. The carbon dioxide calculations consisted of EPD reports obtained from Strängbetong and VSAB. The carbon dioxide calculations for the operational phase were performed through different scenarios with three different scenarios types of energy. Results: The result for Juvelen's carbon dioxide emissions during the construction phase, based on the quantitative data that had obtained from Strängbetong and VSAB, was approximately 3,568 tonnes of CO2e. Renewable High had an emission of 96,472.61 kg CO2e during the 50-year analysis period. Renewable Medium received a sum of 2,519,339.7 kg CO2e and Renewable Low 11,961,913.29 kg CO2e. The 100-year analysis period for the operational phase showed the double value of the 50-year analysis period. Based on the current study and an interview with Ambjörn Gille, it appears that Skanska is making efforts to achieve climate goals by 2045. Conclusions: The conclusion that the work came to was that to achieve the climate goal of net-zero emissions, its necessary that the entire construction and real estate sector needs to adapt, apply new and innovative technology. The differences that emerged from the comparison of the production, operating phase for Juvelen were the choice of material, construction process, and method for construction of Juvelen and the choice of energy scenario.

▼ The Texas High Plains (THP) region is known for cotton (Gossypium hiristum L.) production and the Dust Bowl. Cotton production on the THP is massive, producing about 15% of USA cotton. With large areas under agricultural production, tillage is often used to manage the soil. Tillage is effective at controlling weeds on the THP and for preparing and making beds, however wind erosion is a problem on the THP, and often intensive tillage is not well suited to the sandy soil and semi-arid climate of the THP. Following the events of the Dust Bowl, conservation tillage and cover crop use has increased on the THP, with about 48% of land in Texas being under some form of the two practices in 2012. There are numerous benefits to conservation tillage and cover crop use, namely reduced wind erosion and greater water holding capacity of the soil on the THP. The potential to reduce or mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions from the soil and increases in cotton lint yield and fiber quality are also benefits that have been seen in other areas of the USA. Even with the potential benefits of conservation tillage and cover crop use regarding wind erosion, water holding capacity, mitigation of GHG
emissions, and increases in cotton production, producers can still be reluctant to implement these practices due to a lack of information regarding the changes that occur in cotton production due to implementation of these systems on the THP.
This study aimed to quantify the changes in
carbon dioxide (CO2-C) and nitrous oxide (N2O-N)
emissions, cotton lint yield, and cotton fiber quality within the first two years of implementation of no-tillage with (NTW) and without (NT) a winter cover crop compared to a conventional tillage (CT) system, and nitrogen (N) fertilizer application management within these tillage systems. In addition, changes in soil nutrient concentrations, cover crop N uptake and
carbon (C) assimilation, microbial community structure, and cotton plant N uptake and partitioning were determined to provide a whole system evaluation of no-till and cover crop implementation on the THP.
The fluxes of CO2-C and N2O-N were affected by the time of year in which the data was collected as well as a response to the addition of N fertilizer in some cases. Tillage affected CO2-C and N2O-N flux as well, with a generally greater flux occurring in the NTW system. Cumulative
emissions of CO2-C and N2O-N were affected by N treatment in 2016 and CO2-C
emissions were affected by tillage in 2017. Cotton lint yield differed between years due to climatic conditions that also affected the lint yield and fiber quality in 2017. The NTW system provided protection from high temperatures and winds early in the 2017 growing season, resulting in a better stand and more mature cotton with stronger fibers compared to NT and CT systems.
Carbon assimilation in the wheat cover crop was greater than the amount of C lost due to the increase in CO2-C
emissions in 2017, which may be a potential avenue of mitigation. Vegetative uptake of N was greater in treatments…

▼ One of the biggest challenges facing the world today is how we feed an ever-increasing population while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are contributing to global warming. Unquestionably, the livestock sector represents a significant source of emissions, generating carbon dioxide (CO(2)), methane (CH(4)) and nitrous oxide (N(2)O).
In 1988, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established to prepare a comprehensive review and recommendations concerning to the state of the science of climate change, the social and economic impact of climate change, and possible response strategies and elements for inclusion in a possible future international convention on climate. The first assessment report of the IPCC served as the basis for negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Via the IPCC, a series of algorithms and emission factors (EFs) were developed to calculate GHG emissions that conform to the UNFCCC, thus allowing individual countries to calculate their GHG emissions.
The Australian Federal Government began accounting and reporting the nation’s GHG emissions in 1990 according to the UNFCCC rules. Currently, agriculture is responsible for 13% of Australia’s GHG emissions and is the primary source of CH(4) and N(2)O emissions. The national accounting of GHG emissions adopts a large-scale approach. As such, it does not estimate individual farm GHG emission profiles, nor identify potential mitigation strategies to reduce total farm emissions.
The purpose of this thesis was to determine the GHG emissions of Australian dairy farms using the Australian GHG methodology and examine potential mitigation options to reduce on-farm GHG emissions attributed to milk production. To ascertain GHG emissions, a localised focus within one region was explored, where the milking herd grazed pastures year-round with supplementary feeding occurring either in the dairy parlour or grazed paddocks. Sixty dairy farms(2)2e)/annum. A metric of emissions intensity (EI) of milk production, defined as kg CO(2)e/kg fat and protein-corrected milk (FPCM), was calculated to allow comparison between farms. The mean EI was 1.04 kg CO(2)e/kg FPCM, with individual farms varying between 0.83 and 1.39 kg CO(2)e/kg FPCM. Linear regression analysis showed that 93% of the difference in total farm GHG emissions could be explained by annual milk production. The study also found that 60% of the difference in the EI of milk production between farms was explained by differences in feed conversion efficiency (FCE; kg FPCM/kg dry matter intake (DMI)) and nitrogen (N) fertiliser application rates (kg N/ha.annum).
This on-farm evaluation at a local level (Tasmania) was expanded nationally to 41 Australian dairy farms. Farms varied between grazing pastures with supplementary feed delivered in the dairy parlour and paddocks through to farms where, in addition to grazing and supplements delivered in the dairy, cows spent a proportion of their time off paddock consuming partial…

▼ This dissertation is comprised of five chapters discussing the importance of the measurement of household
carbon dioxide emissions and the demographic determinants of those
emissions in developing an understanding of anthropogenic climate change and the potential for future
carbon dioxide emissions mitigation strategies. Chapter 1 discusses the scientific consensus regarding the impact of human activities in generating global warming and the effects of this warming on the earth's climate. In Chapter 2, I first discuss the Consumer Expenditure Survey data compiled and the methodology used to measure household
carbon intensity of expenditures and
carbon dioxide emissions, combining economic input-output modeling with a life cycle assessment modeling to track industry to industry transactions and the corresponding resource use from extraction to end use disposal. Second, I show that
carbon pricing policies are indeed regressive with lower income households having significantly higher
carbon intensities of consumption. As suggested in the previous literature, this result stems from the allocation of household expenditures among direct and indirect uses of energy. This expenditure allocation decision is driven, not only by household income, but also by characteristics that vary over the life course, most notably household size and composition. Therefore, lastly I show that household
carbon dioxide emissions and intensities follow distinct trajectories over the life cycle, independent of household income, resulting from a reallocation of expenditures necessitated by the evolving needs of households at different stages in the life cycle. In Chapter 3, I discuss the demographic characteristics that are the drivers of the variation in
emissions and intensities among heterogeneous households and how these demographic characteristics have changed, on average, over the past few decades in the United States. Of these changes, most notable are changes in mean household size, the age of household head, and the proportion of one- and two-person households. As baby boomers begin to retire and young individuals choose delay or forego household formation, expenditure allocation decisions of the average household are evolving, thereby changing the relationship between population growth and
carbon dioxide emissions in the United States. In Chapter 4, to formalize the channel through which these changing dynamics of population growth and CO2
emissions occur, I first generate age-
emissions profiles to show the importance of the age of a household member in contributing to total household
emissions. I find that children contribute dramatically less than an adult and elderly contribute relatively less than an adult, but more than a child; results which are consistent with findings in the previous literature. In other words, an individual follows a distinct trajectory of
emissions over their lifetime. The magnitude of this
emissions curve is being attenuated over time as a result of improvements in energy efficiency, but these reductions…
