In the power generation sector, substituting fossil-fuels with near-zero carbon alternatives is one viable option identified for curbing CO2 emissions. Solar energy is one such alternative and it's valued for being inexhaustible in nature. This study exami ...

The energy demand increases worldwide and due to the fact that fossil fuel is still dominating the energy mix, the corresponding CO2 emission becomes a more serious problem that threatens the global environment. The building sector is the largest energy co ...
The animal husbandry sector is a large contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly the emissions of methane and nitrous oxide. It is possible to reduce these emissions through better livestock management, composting of animal manure or turn ...

The energy sector is not only a major contributor to greenhouse gases, it is also vulnerable to climate change and will have to adapt to future climate conditions. The objective of this study is to analyze the impacts of changes in future temperatures on t ...
Land in the southeastern U.S. is expected to change, e.g., given the potential demand to develop forest-to-fuel technologies or, conversely, cropification of current forests to increase food production. Possible future PM2.5 and O3 ai ...
Integrating accurate air quality modeling with decision making is hampered by complex atmospheric physics and chemistry and its coupling with atmospheric transport. Existing approaches to model the physics and chemistry accurately lead to significant compu ...
Recent assessments have analyzed the health impacts of PM2.5 from emissions from different locations and sectors using simplified or reduced-form air quality models. Here we present an alternative approach using the adjoint of the Community Mult ...
The process of carbon capture and sequestration has been proposed as a method of mitigating the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. If implemented, the cost of electricity generated by a fossil fuel-burning power plant would rise substantially, ...
Regional air quality models are widely used to evaluate control strategy effectiveness. As such, it is important to understand the accuracy of model simulations to establish confidence in model performance and to guide further model development. Particulat ...
The recent AR5 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has again stressed on the need for mitigation and adaptation measures to tackle issues related to climate change. Tackling future urban planning and energy efficiency in the building ...
