▼ The purpose of this work was to examine the effects of a change in combustion environment on aerosol formation. Due to the need to provide carbon based energy with carbon capture and sequestration to eliminate carbon emissions, oxy fuel combustion is a technology which is currently under investigation. The main advantage of oxy fuel combustion is that it utilizes a combustion process of fuel, pure oxygen, and recycled CO2 in order moderate flame temperatures. The result is a flue gas which is highly concentrated in CO2 with water vapor which is easily condensed and removed. However, there has been very little research done on the effects of the altered combustion environment from N2/O2 (air) to oxy fired conditions of O2/CO2 on aerosol formation. This work indicates that there are differences in black carbon particle emissions, as well as changes in mechanisms which drive aerosol formation. Of particular interest in the findings was that iron was found in higher relative concentrations in the submicron range of particles in oxy fired conditions compared to air fired conditions. Also, magnesium and calcium appear to be in higher relative concentrations in oxy fired conditions while sodium and potassium seem to be lower in the submicron range. These are all important as these compounds can affect how ash and slag build up on surfaces inside of the furnace.

▼ The objective of this thesis was to compare the predictive capabilities of a new proposed reactor network methodology, to past methods in an attempt to determine which best predicts Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions from aviation combustors. The proposed methodology focused on three key characteristics affecting CO emissions; the internal combustor flow field, combustion chemistry and liquid fuel evaporation. The proposed model was able to capture these characteristics using cold flow computational fluid dynamics, ideal reactors and correlations for evaporation and droplet size. The predictive capabilities of the models were tested by comparing calculated CO emissions against measured data from four aviation industry combustors. The proposed methodology performed better than past methods at predicting CO emissions and trends associated with increased thrust and alterations in droplet size. Additional testing is needed on variations in chemical mechanisms, combustor geometries and internal flow fields to further verify the application of this tool.

▼ The United Nations has increased its focus on environment issues that have been contributing to climate change. After the formation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1994, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) was tasked with emission reduction in ships. The Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC), which is a committee within the IMO, commenced with its focus on Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
Emissions at its 39th session. The MEPC commissioned studies on greenhouse gas
emissions from ships. The MEPC also prepared the draft Annex VI which contained regulations for control of air pollution from ships. MARPOL Annex VI entered into force in 2005. The regulations provided specifications for the reduction of Sulphur
emissions and Nitrogen
emissions with deadlines for Emission Control Areas (ECAs) as well as globally. The ECA regulations for sulphur reduction have been in place since 1 January 2016.These regulations have put ship owners under immense pressure to comply. If there is non-compliance, the ship owners either receive a fine or their ships are detained. Considerable costs are involved in reducing sulphur
emissions, as ship owners either build new ships or retrofit old ships with new exhaust cleaning systems or with modifications to their propulsion machinery. As this study will show the costs have not, so far, been passed on to the end user, as freight rates have not increased based on the compliance costs. The freight rates within the shipping industry are purely based on demand/supply factors. If costs are passed on to customers, then these additional costs are likely to impact on the spectrum of freight rates faced by transport users in both bulk and general cargo markets. This would be similar to the Carrier Security charge that shipping lines implemented after the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code came into force in 2004.

▼ The Australian transport sector is a key contributor to environmental degradation and climate change, with Australia's transport sector accounting for 38.5 per cent of overall energy Use, 73 per cent of liquid fuel use and 42 per cent of average household carbon emissions. The majority of these impacts stem from private vehicles which have the largest mode shares of all journey types in all Australian cities. Private vehicle use produces many negative externalities impacting on the social, environmental and economic viability of cities at local, national and global scales.
Public Transport is often viewed within the contemporary environmental discourse as being 'green' in that it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and provides a shift away from an auto-centric mobility paradigm. In reality, public transport networks use large amounts of energy, release large amounts of carbon and other greenhouse gases and in many areas do not offer an attractive or reliable enough service to encourage a significant shift from the use of private vehicles. When operating efficiently, public transport has the potential to be considerably greener than other modes of transport, however these green credentials can be lost when operated inefficiently.
This project uses energy efficiency as a proxy for environmental sustainability and focuses on the case study of Melbourne, Australia where buses have historically been operated in a generally inefficient manner and with low ridership in comparison to other cities. To approximate the environmental efficiency of bus networks in Melbourne, this study undertook an analysis of the efficiency of the operations of the Transdev bus system, which accounts for approximately 30% of the total bus network in Melbourne, presented in the context of a number of major bus network changes introduced by Transdev in late July 2014.
The study identified a broad range of views in relation to the environmental efficiency of bus systems and identified the practice of network planning as one key way to improve network efficiency. The study also identified key limitations in the way transport statistics are typically presented, with occupancy rates usually given based on the potential, rather than actual occupancy of a bus, and without including the additional kilometres of 'dead-running' where services are not carrying passengers and are relocated across the network. Therefore the presentation of transport data alters how the environmental credentials of the network are perceived. The other key factor to consider is that public transport is not necessarily operated solely for environmental purposes with other objectives such as social equity provision. For example, areas that are unsuited to public transport due to historical failures in urban planning still have services operated on equity objectives, sometimes undermining the environmental benefits of patronage based services.

▼ Input Output frameworks have been widely used to study the emissions of industrial sectors either in specific economies or globally but usually focus on aggregated measures under production or consumption accounting principles (PAP and CAP). This leads to a lack of transparency in terms of the structure of the emissions and provides limited information on what are the main drivers of the emissions allocated to each sector under PAP and CAP. This information gap limits the options of policy makers to interventions on whole sectors, rather than the components of their supply chains that hold the major shares of the total embodied emissions. In this thesis we argue in favour of a more disaggregated, a ‘hot-spot’, approach that provides a better understanding of the structure of emissions under both of these headline measures. We develop a methodology to identify CO2 ‘hot-spots’ in downstream and upstream supply chains, both domestic and global. The methodology is applied first to a Single Region Input Output framework for China in 2005 identifying ‘Electricity, Gas and Water Supply’ as the Chinese sector with the highest direct emissions. Examination of the sector’s domestic downstream supply chain reveals that the majority of emissions are generated to support the final demand of other domestic sectors. Of these ‘Construction’ is the main driver and it also is the Chinese sector that is found to have the largest domestic CO2 footprint, with several emissions ‘hot-spots’ in its domestic upstream supply chain. The ‘hot-spot’ methodology is then extended to a global Inter-Regional Input Output framework to consider ‘hot-spots’ in a global supply chain context. By focusing on 2009 (the year for which appropriate data are most recently available) and UK total final demand we find that Chinese ‘Electricity, Gas and Water Supply’ is the non-UK sector with the largest direct emissions driven by UK total final demand. Studying this sector’s downstream supply chain outside China reveals that a large share of the sector’s emissions is ultimately generated to support several UK-based sectors’ domestic final demand. Furthermore, the UK ‘Health and Social Work’ sector is identified as the UK sector with the second largest global footprint to support domestic final demand. We identified a number of ‘hot-spots’ in the international part of its upstream supply chain, with a key finding being its dependence on the activity and the embodied emissions in global chemicals production. Finally, the thesis goes on to demonstrate how conducting ‘hot-spot’ analysis on disaggregated regional/sub-national Input Output tables can provide more detailed local level analysis of ‘hot-spot’ findings from the Inter-Regional Input Output framework. The key finding in this respect is the importance of introducing region specific emissions data where possible, as non-region specific data can lead in incorrect estimation of the embodied emissions in any component of the supply chains of any sectors. In general, through this research project we developed a…

▼ 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.

▼ Les entreprises sont, de plus en plus, poussées à analyser leurs émissions de carbone. Notre recherche s’intéresse donc à celles-ci quand elles sont dues au transport et au stockage le long de la chaîne logistique. Pour ce faire, nous avons développé un modèle utilisant la simulation à événements discrets. L’outil proposé modélise une stratégie de réponse à la demande et coordonne les flux en Make To Stock. Trois paramètres variables sont pris en compte : la performance industrielle avec l’utilisation d’un taux de rendement synthétique, la localisation des entreprises et le type de produits fabriqués. Différents scénarii, à politique industrielle et localisation soit homogène soit dégradée soit quelconque et à type de produits différents sont simulés. L’objectif est de comparer les critères environnementaux (émissions de carbone) mais aussi financiers (niveau de stock, kilométrage) de ces configurations. Cette méthode est appliquée aux secteurs mécanique et plasturgique. Les principaux objectifs de l’étude sont les suivants : développer des références pour la simulation de chaîne logistique et conduire des expériences pertinentes afin d’optimiser les chaînes logistiques vertes.
Rendering the supply chain more eco-friendly is an innovative idea progressively adopted by industry. Our research focuses on the CO2 emissions along the supply chain due to freight energy use and storage. A supply chain approach by using a discrete event model was developed. Our proposed tool is able to model Re Order Point production management policy (ROP). Moreover, it can consider the main demand response strategy Make To Stock (MTS). Manufacturing capability is also taken into account using an Overall Equipment Effectiveness indicator (OEE). In addition, the location of the firms and their type of products are modeled. Simulations were conducted by varying the manufacturing capacity, the type of product and the firm location in MTS environment and a ROP planning policy. The purpose is to compare supply chain CO2 emissions and financial elements of different configurations. This method is applied to mechanical and plastic industries. The principle objectives of the study are twofold: develop a supply chain simulation benchmark and conduct pertinent experiments to improve green supply chains.

▼ This thesis handles the need for Volvo Logistics (VLC) to calculate their total carbon footprint of purchased transportations, i.e. the total carbon dioxide emissions by all vehicles employed by VLC to transport the goods of their customers. The purpose of the thesis is therefore to determine a method with which VLC can calculate the total carbon footprint. To be able to decide upon one method that can fulfil the purpose, the authors searched for various methods, both in the academia and within the transportation sector, with which the emissions can be determined. Simultaneously the available input at VLC was studied to determine what type of method would be best suited to the current state of the company. After gathering several methods and determine what input was available and what was not available at VLC, an analysis of the found methods was done. First matching them with the available input to see which were usable as is, and then a more thorough Analytical Hierarchical Process analysis using three main-criterions; credibility, comparability, and simplicity, each with several sub-criterions. The weighting of these criterions was done in a workshop together with VLC employees, particularly the Environmental Manager and an Environmental Analyst, but also with two employees at the Global Logistics Development department at VLC. Using the weighting and the author’s comparisons of the methods within each of the criterions it was possible to obtain the methods with which further analysis should be done. After further analysis was conducted, considering VLC’s situation and possible development, the final methods was decided upon, one for each mode of transport; air, rail, road, and sea. These had to be adapted to better suit VLC and the input that was available; the distances, the weight, and the transport mode, factors which are incorporated in the methods recommended by the authors. The adaptation was then done using expertise at VLC to be able to determine what input VLC could affect as to be able to work towards lowering the total carbon footprint once it was calculated the first time. This also led to a revaluation of the method for sea transportation, forcing a change from the previously chosen one to a more suited method. This meant that three of the four modes; air, road, and sea, was covered by the NTM method, while rail used the Green Cargo method. While adapting the methods; to make them ready to use for VLC, certain changes required to obtain all the input needed was encountered and forwarded to the environmental department, letting them include it in the annual supplier survey. The thesis was concluded by four sets of instructions to be used to calculate the carbon footprint, one two tiered set for each mode of transportation. The instructions are presented in a step by step fashion of how to perform the calculations. The first part; First time usage, depicts those changes needed before the calculations can be attempted, the second part; Annual usage, cover those steps which has…

▼ Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, developed countries can meet greenhouse gas
emissions reduction commitments by funding
carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in developing countries. Data from published sources were used to identify the five most promising developing countries and to assess the theoretical capability for CCS in those countries in terms of compatible
emissions and geologic storage capacity with the potential contribution to global
emissions reduction targets. Combined with an assessment of the regulatory amenability for CCS, the five countries were ranked in terms of overall feasibility for CCS. The results showed that CCS is most feasible in China, South Africa, India, Mexico, and Indonesia, in that order. Developed countries can use this research to assist in making investment decisions about CCS in developing countries to help meet greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments.

The Effectiveness of Renewable Portfolio Standards in Reducing Carbon Emissions in the US Electricity Sector.

▼ Do renewable portfolio standards (RPS) – a state level policy that requires utility companies to include a minimum percentage of renewable or “alternative” electricity – lower CO2
emissions? A major goal of RPS is to reduce
carbon emissions, but to our knowledge no prior study quantifies this impact. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how RPS policy affects
carbon emissions and how this impact varies with RPS characteristics.
We develop a panel dataset integrating state-level annual data on RPS levels, CO2
emissions, electricity generation, electricity market restructuring, electricity price, fuel prices, and demographic characteristics. The final dataset consists of annual state level data for 48 states comprising from 1997 to 2010. Among 48 states considered in the study, 22 states have mandatory RPS yearly goals in effect by 2010.
We use a reduced form econometric analysis with state fixed variables and time fixed effects to study the impacts of RPS yearly targets on
carbon emissions. In addition, we address the possible selection problem of state’s decision to adopt and design its RPS policy with the help of three-part Heckit model. The first stage of the Heckit model is the probit selection equation and the second stage is the linear regression with the RPS yearly targets as the dependent variable. From this second-stage, we calculate the linear prediction of RPS yearly targets by restricting observations to non-zero RPS yearly target variable. We use this linear prediction in the main structural equation instead of the actual RPS yearly targets data to find the effect of RPS on CO2 per MWh.
The ordinary least squares results show that RPS yearly targets are statistically significant in reducing CO2 per MWh – a ten percentage point increase in RPS yearly mandates improves
carbon efficiency by at least 10 percent. While the OLS results show that RPS yearly targets are statistically significant in reducing CO2 per MWh, the regression results of the base model after considering selection problem fail to find the significance of RPS yearly targets in affecting
carbon emission efficiency. The closer analysis suggests that the state’s decision to adopt and design its RPS policy is influenced by factors such as neighboring states’ RPS status, shares of fossil-fired generation, and electricity price. These results suggest that state-level RPS policies do not show any effect in reducing
carbon emissions after taking account of the selection problem. This study’s findings do not claim that RPS is not effective in reducing CO2 per MWh, rather we conclude that that the underlying characteristics of states enacting RPS policies have more to do with the apparent success of RPS in reducing CO2 per MWh.

▼ In a world that is increasingly concerned about
carbon emissions and the atmospheric impacts of those
emissions,
carbon offsets have become a broadly accepted form of
emissions reductions. While the UN set the initial standard for governing those offsets with the Clean Development Mechanism, a voluntary
carbon market and a wide variety of private
carbon offset certifications have gained an important role in that voluntary market. Because these private certifications take a variety of forms and have their own specialty niches, it is important to understand the intricacies of these certifications for the growing number of
carbon offset producers. This research studies the reasons why a small non-profit
carbon offset producer would seek certification, as well as how that producer went about choosing among a wide range of offset standards. The research revealed that for an organization to certify, the increased market share and legitimacy must outweigh the cost of certification. In addition, the choice in certification largely depends on cost, suitability, and the perception that the standard will uphold its legitimacy in the long term.

▼ 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.

▼ Historic dwellings in the UK make up 20% of all homes and are amongst the most poorly performing part of the English housing stock in energy use terms, with the lowest SAP rating and highest average annual CO2 emissions. The degree to which proposals to retrofit the UK housing stock can reduce emissions depends on current energy use and CO2 emissions. Current methodology relies on national aggregated statistics to provide average energy use data; historic buildings as a subset cannot be segregated. In order to assess realistic carbon reduction potential it is vital that performance of historic dwellings is established from disaggregated data sources or with validated and stakeholder accepted models that can accurately prescribe energy use in an affordable, easy to use and transparent manner. This research attempts to begin such orthodoxy. The benchmark derived in this study suggests that historic buildings in Bath use less energy than predicted by national, regional, and local average energy use, but they are not low energy dwellings. They therefore require retrofit adaptations to reduce CO2 emissions. Procedures to assess the potential for such measures are of primary importance as some adaptations impact on both fabric and aesthetics. It is therefore imperative that the contribution such alterations make towards reducing CO2 emissions can be weighed against the change they may make to our built heritage. Using the Passive House Planning Package modelling tool, predictions of energy use were provided and validated against actual energy use. The model demonstrated accuracy in predicting energy used when incorporating a reduction factor to reflect intermittent heating patterns. The model was then used to assess the retrofit adaptation measures with a suite of measures incorporating renewable energy technology, delivering CO2 emission reductions approaching 80%. This approach can be applied beyond the UK as the model permits the use of local weather data sets. In establishing a benchmark of energy use in domestic historic dwellings, this work assists in developing suitable and effective solutions that are replicable and durable, permitting built heritage to meet UK emissions targets through the provision of empirical data to evaluate any alteration to fabric or aesthetics against the benefit of carbon savings.

▼ 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.

▼ In the absence of a comprehensive and legally binding international agreement on global emissions reduction, the free of cost allocation of permits has been a political condition of the acceptance of Emissions Trading Schemes (ETSs) in most jurisdictions. As a consequence, up to now, many heavy polluters participating in the ETSs are not paying the full price of carbon. The extent to which pricing carbon affects specific sectors in practice remains unclear in most jurisdictions. In this thesis, I bring together and analyse the economics and legal literature in relation to free allocations. A detailed comparison of the free allocation mechanisms utilised in three ETS systems is then undertaken in order to make recommendations for scheme design rules that will be legally robust and will support the effectiveness of the ETSs, whilst limiting any negative impacts on international trade. Based on a systematic analysis of the available economic data, I observe that carbon leakage rates have been historically overestimated. As a result, governments have been providing free permits to a number of sectors which are not significantly exposed to carbon leakage. Furthermore, the inconsistent eligibility criteria for the free allocation of permits can distort trade between competitors liable under independent schemes. However, such trade distortions may be mitigated by harmonising the free allocation methodologies.The harmonisation process may take place under a linking agreement and should follow a best practice approach, avoiding the eligibility of an excessive number of sectors as carbon leakage exposed. I suggest in this thesis that cumulative criteria of high emission-intensity and high trade-exposure thresholds are recommended, along with the removal of any sole trade-exposure thresholds and sole emissions-intensity thresholds.Differences in the free allocation methodologies can raise legitimate concerns that such allocations can interfere with free trade, thereby invoking the various mechanisms of the World Trade Organization (WTO). I argue that the free allocation of permits is a subsidy according to the definition provided by Article 1.1(a)(1) of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement). Subsidies generally represent an unnecessary cost to society and may compromise the fairness of the ETS. I conclude that the European Union Emissions Trading System’s sole emissions-intensity threshold is a de facto specific subsidy, and that it may be actionable if it has adverse effects on the interests of other WTO Members. Furthermore, I argue that the free allocation of permits, based on a trade-exposure threshold, is subject to the notification rule provided by Article XVI, A(1) of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. The European Union has been notably failing to comply with this requirement.

▼ This dissertation has two essays. The first studies migration patterns in the U.S. and the relationship between migration patterns and energy use and
carbon emissions. It uses a two-city model of energy use and household migration to analyze emission implications from city level green policies. Per-household
emissions are calculated for the largest 49 MSA’s in the U.S. and data on migration patterns used to assign substitute locations to migrating households. Results show large differences in net
carbon emissions from migration, which has implications for a wide range of policies affecting migration decisions. The second essay studies how school quality is assigned to properties through various methods. It first replicates methods in the literature, such as assignment by distance and district means, and adds new methods to assign measures of school quality to census blocks. Next, these assignments are compared to a new dataset of school assignment to determine accuracy. Both distance matching and assignment by district means are shown to be relatively inaccurate methods of assignment. The accuracy also varies over space and district size.

▼ This thesis is a study of whether the Australian Clean Energy Package complies with the rules of the World Trade Organization. It examines the legal framework for the Australian carbon pricing mechanism and related arrangements, using World Trade Organization law as the framework for analysis. In doing so, this thesis deconstructs the Clean Energy Package by considering the legal properties of eligible emissions units, the assistance measures introduced by the Package and the liabilities created by the carbon pricing mechanism.

▼ 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.

▼ The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) found that black carbons (BC) concentrations were significantly higher in summer than in winter, which could be attributed to the seasonal variations in fuel composition. This experimental study investigated the impact of fuel seasonal changes on particulate matter (PM) emissions using a Ford Focus wall-guided GDI engine. Fuels from five public gas stations having octane rating of 87 and 91 were analyzed and tested. This study demonstrated that summer fuels contained higher aromatics than winter fuels which led to higher PM emissions and BC concentrations during steady state and transient state conditions. Moreover, the removal of ethanol content resulted in lower PM emissions and BC concentrations during steady state conditions. This study suggested that an increase in aromatics in summer fuels could be root cause for higher BC concentrations, however, similar study should be performed in other engines to support this conclusion.

▼ 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.

(more)
▼ 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.

▼ Increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, especially of
carbon dioxide, has led to attempts to implement
carbon policies in order to limit and stabilize gases at acceptable levels.
Agricultural activities can increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, but they can also mitigate the increasing atmospheric concentration of
carbon dioxide and help prevent climate change by sequestering additional
carbon. Although agriculture is currently not the target of
carbon management policies, it is often seen as a potential market for sequestration credits and the agricultural industry needs to have more information about the values of sequestration management in case it becomes one of the targets of these policies.
This study evaluated
carbon emissions and
carbon sequestration and examined the impacts of payments for sequestration and taxes on
carbon emissions on cropping choices, profitability, and water consumption in the Texas High Plains.
The results showed that reduction of total
carbon emissions to 15% of a baseline and imposing a tax would reduce the amount of water consumed for irrigation, by about 20% and 16%, respectively. However,
carbon payment for sequestration did not affect reduction of
carbon emissions, water consumption nor the product mix.

▼ It is now widely accepted that anthropogenic climate change is likely to reach dangerous levels in the absence of national and international policies that would see the dramatic reduction in human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. The likely outcome of this lack of policy is of a world that is not only significantly warmer that it is today but also significantly different in the make-up of the terrestrial biosphere.
Current scientific analysis suggests that any changes to the global climate exceeding 2-degrees of warming poses potentially irrevocable changes to the global environment. Although it has been suggested that 2-degrees of warming may not actually constitute 'safe' levels of global warming, the international consensus appears to have settled on the goal of no more than a 2-degree world. Of all the developed countries in the world, the adverse impacts of anthropogenic climate change will affect Australia the greatest.
Two issues that currently exist within Australian climate policy that is focused on addressing these issues are a) the insufficient abatement of emissions through the current national policy framework (Clean Energy Legislation) and b) disengagement with the general population on both the realities of anthropogenic climate change and the positive role the public can play in the mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
The policy tool that is suggested for addressing these problems is Social Carbon Budgeting, a voluntary-participation model utilizing the existing ideas of Personal Carbon Budgeting and Personal Carbon Trading. Social Carbon Budgeting (or SCB) encourages individuals to monitor and assess their daily greenhouse gas (CO2e) emissions from their consumption of goods and services and reduce these emissions in-line with daily targets that reflect a 'safe' emissions level. The daily target is based on an Equal per Capita approach for the entire globe, updated yearly in accordance with changes in global population.
The conclusion is that Social Carbon Budgeting provides an opportunity to address the deficiencies that currently exist in the national climate policy framework and for engaging with individuals on the need to respond to anthropogenic climate change, and for the significant role individuals can play in reducing Australia's greenhouse gas emissions.

▼ CO2 removal from the atmosphere is likely necessary to limit global warming to the 2 °C goal of the Paris Agreement. This work aims to leverage the embedded conveyance energy within the existing wastewater infrastructure in the U.S. to remove inorganic
carbon and develop a
carbon negative CO2 removal technology. Although wastewater treatment plants are designed to remove organic
carbon, a total of 588 Mt of inorganic
carbon also enters the plants but is not removed. To demonstrate this, a bench-scale, membrane-based wastewater
carbon-capture system was optimized. Commercially available, gas-permeable membranes (PFA) and hydrophobic, porous membranes (PVDF) fabricated in-house were evaluated in the system. The effects of multiple physiochemical parameters on inorganic
carbon removal were investigated, with the best-case scenario removing 15% of the inorganic
carbon from the feed stream. Deploying similar full-scale systems across US wastewater infrastructure without addition of acid for pH adjustment would remove up to 12.9 Mt-C/yr. The addition of hydrochloric acid (HCl) to bring the wastewater to 5.0 (one pH unit below the bicarbonate pKa) would increase removal to 30.5 Mt-C/yr, but this is partially offset by CO2
emissions from HCl production, resulting in a net removal of 22.6 Mt-C/yr. When compared to direct air capture, a more mature technology, the new system was more sustainable at reduced feed stream pH (2.5) based on net CO2 removal.

▼ Emissions from seventy household stoves in Tibet and Nepal and thirteen brick kilns in South Asia were measured to quantify aerosol and gaseous pollutant
emissions, including particulate matter (PM 2.5),
carbon monoxide (CO), carbonaceous particles, and optical scattering and absorption. In addition, a pilot study was conducted of small-scale industry
emissions from a restaurant, candy making operation, and two pottery kilns.
Emission factors from household stoves were compared across fuel types, stove characteristics, and study region. Stoves measured in Nepal emitted more black
carbon when sugarcane was used in the fuel mixture. Chimney stoves had better combustion efficiency and lower
emissions than non-chimney stoves and wood fuel produced significantly less PM 2.5 and CO compared to dung fuel in Tibet. Overall, Tibetan stoves had higher emission factors compared to stoves in Nepal or Honduras.
Small-scale industry stoves, restaurant and candy making, had similar emission factor magnitudes and particle properties to household stoves. Unlike stoves, the traditional straw pottery kiln had high
carbon monoxide emission factors and almost no black
carbon emissions (5% of PM 2.5). Conversely, the wood pottery kiln had a much higher percentage of black
carbon (78%). In comparison, household stoves in Nepal averaged 22%.
Measurements in the exhaust of six brick kiln technologies demonstrate differences in overall emission
profiles and relative climate warming resulting from kiln design and fuel choice. Emission factors differed between kiln types, in some cases by an order of magnitude. The brick kilns currently dominating the sector had the highest emission factors of PM 2.5 and light absorbing
carbon, while improved Vertical Shaft and Tunnel kilns were lower emitters. An improved version of the most common technology in the region, the zig-zag kiln, was among the lowest emitting kilns in PM 2.5 , CO, and light absorbing
carbon. Emission factors measured here are lower than those currently used in emission inventories as inputs to global climate models; 85% lower (PM 2.5) and 35% lower for elemental
carbon (EC) for the most common kiln in the region, yet
the ratio of EC to total
carbon was higher than previously estimated (0.96 compared to 0.47). Total annual
estimated
emissions from the brick industry are 120 Tg CO2 , 2.5 Tg CO, 0.19 Tg PM 2.5 , and 0.12 Tg EC.

▼ Rapid and far-reaching transitions in all societal sectors are required to limit the increase of anthropogenic
carbon emissions and, consequently, the devastating effects of global warming. In the built environment, energy use has been found to be the dominant source of
carbon emissions. In the process of increasing energy efficiency, hyper-efficient and
carbon-neutral concepts have been gaining significant attention. With the exception of the manufactured housing industry, the U.S. federal government has promoted energy efficiency in the residential sector for decades. Due to outdated energy conservation codes, manufactured homes are very inefficient, with the energy expenditure per square foot being the highest among all residential building types. Investing in energy efficiency strategies is a significant decision because of the high initial costs. This is particularly important for low-income buyers or householders. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to conduct a more detailed analysis of the energy performance of manufactured homes in the State of Florida and investigate the opportunities for reaching hyper-efficiency and
carbon-neutrality while improving the life-cycle affordability of homeowners.
Advisors/Committee Members: Kibert,Charles Joseph (committee chair), Knowles III,Harold S (committee member), Porter,Wendell A (committee member).

▼ This thesis assesses whether – and how – emissions trading schemes are subject to the disciplines of international economic law. Through an analysis of trade and investment agreements and related jurisprudence, it argues that the objects of trade in these schemes, namely carbon units, can be legally characterised as "goods", "services", "financial services", and/or "investments". Reviewing common quantitative and qualitative restrictions on the trade and investment in carbon units, the thesis exposes potential violations of international economic law and discusses possible justifications.
