Within the global challenge of sustainable energy supply and greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, carbon capture and storage and the deployment of renewable resources are considered as promising solutions. In this study the production of ammonia mainly use ...
Efforts to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions require validation. Atmospheric measurements capture all emissions, and provide a unique and powerful means of continuous validation and feedback. To demonstrate the utility of real time greenhouse g ...
This paper provides orders of magnitude of the importance of CO2 emissions from international transport freight activities under a variety of scenarios regarding trade and climate policies. It is based on a stylized multi-region, multi-sector CGE model tha ...
This thesis presents three steps toward a more precise modeling of climate policies using hybrid models. Specific hybrid models have been devised and used to analyze different post-Kyoto Swiss climate policies. Chapter 1 presents a rather simple hybrid mod ...
The European Renewable Energy Directive (EU RED) requires biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 35% compared to fossil fuels in order to count towards mandatory biofuel quota or to be eligible for financial support schemes. This reduction ta ...
Growing population, consuming a large amount of energy such as combustion of fossil fuel, increasing pollutant emissions in the atmosphere are the threats to the sustainable development of our planet in general, and of the air quality in particular. Accord ...
