The Impact of the China Foreign Trade on its Actual CO2 Emissions

2018

CO2 emissions are a global problem. This means that nothing or very little will change if only particular countries are involved. The purpose of this paper is the attempt to show the real CO2 emissions of the China as well as the impact of its trade on CO2 emissions in other countries in the world and in the EU in 2015. This study was conducted on the group of countries that are the major emitters of CO2 in the world including most of the EU members. Countries with negligible CO2 emissions were omitted. Actual CO2 emissions were achieved by applying the actual emission factor. This takes into account the transfer of CO2 in export products and services as well as those imported by particular…

The Impact of the Poland Foreign Trade On Its Real CO2 Emissions

2017

Emisja CO2 jest problemem globalnym. Oznacza to, że walka jedynie części krajów w tym obszarze niewiele zmienia. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest próba ukazania rzeczywistego poziomu emisji CO2 na terenie Polski, jak również wpływ jej wymiany handlowej na emisję CO2 w pozostałych państwach świata i UE w 2015 roku. Badanie zostało przeprowadzone na grupie państw będących głównymi emitentami CO2 na świecie, w tym większości państw członkowskich UE. Poziom emisji CO2 uzyskano przez zastosowanie wskaźnika emisji rzeczywistej. Jego wielkość uwzględnia transfer CO2 w produktach i usługach eksportowych, a także importowanych przez poszczególne kraje. W wyniku jego zastosowania okazało się, że rzecz…

Wpływ handlu zagranicznego Unii Europejskiej na rzeczywistą emisję CO2

2016

Emisja CO2 jest problemem globalnym. Oznacza to, że walka tylko części krajów w tym obszarze niewiele zmienia. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest próba ukazania rzeczywistego poziomu emisji CO2 w UE, jak również wpływ wymiany handlowej Unii na emisję CO2 u jej głównych partnerów handlowych. Badanie zostało przeprowadzone na grupie 20 głównych partnerów handlowych UE i samej Unii. Rzeczywisty poziom emisji CO2 uzyskano przez zastosowanie wskaźnika emisji rzeczywistej. Jego wielkość uwzględnia transfer CO2 w produktach i usługach eksportowych, a także importowanych przez poszczególne kraje. W wyniku jego zastosowania okazało się, że rzeczywisty poziom emisji CO2 w badanych krajach jest znacznie …

An experimental investigation on the long-term compatibility of preheated crude palm oil in a large compression ignition diesel engine

2018

An experimental study was carried out on a large stationary compression ignition engine to evaluate the long-term compatibility and durability issues associated with the use of crude palm oil as fuel. Two different preheating temperatures (60 and 80 °C) were adopted to assess the potential improvements related to lower fuel viscosity. The results obtained, in terms of in-cylinder carbon deposits and engine wear, were compared with the results obtained using ordinary diesel fuel. For each fuel and preheating temperature, the engine was operated for 300 consecutive h, during which several engine lubricant samples were collected and analysed to determine soot and fuel contaminations, viscosity…

Recent advances in methods, policies and technologies at sustainable energy systems development

2022

Following the 2015 Paris Agreement and other agreements which have been signed after, sustainable energy development is becoming the major goal in many countries. EU have set the targets to reduce the annual greenhouse gas emission by 40% in 2030 and 80% for 2050 compared with 1990 levels. For achieving this ambitious energy policy, three major technological changes are available: energy savings on the demand side, efficiency improvements in the energy production, and replacement of fossil fuels by various sources of renewable energy. Also, for realization cited three major technological changes the support of the multi-disciplinary scientific knowledge is needed. Therefore, from the beginn…

Life-Cycle Assessment Applied to Future Scenarios of Electricity Generation in Sicily

2018

Fighting global warming and increasing the energy security are some of the most relevant objectives of the European energy policy. Thus, defining potential low carbon pathways for the energy sector is of paramount importance in order to identify strategies with the lowest impact on climate. This paper presents an overview of environmental assessment of future electricity scenarios in Sicily (Italy), for 2020 and 2030, characterized by a high exploitation of renewable energy sources. Authors apply the Life Cycle Assessment methodology, according to the standard of the ISO 14040 series, in order to evaluate the environmental impacts of electricity generation in the future scenarios in compari…

The (de)politicisation of nuclear power: The Finnish discussion after Fukushima

2017

When the Fukushima accident occurred in March 2011, Finland was at the height of a nuclear renaissance, with the Government’s decision-in-principle in 2010 to allow construction of two new nuclear reactors. This article examines the nuclear power debate in Finland after Fukushima. We deploy the concepts of (de)politicisation and hyperpoliticisation in the analysis of articles in the country’s main newspaper. Our analysis indicates that Finnish nuclear exceptionalism manifested in the safety-related depoliticising and the nation’s prosperity-related hyperpoliticisation arguments of the pro-nuclear camp. The anti-nuclear camp used politicisation strategies, such as economic arguments, to sho…

Polityka energetyczna Unii Europejskiej – 3×20. Diagnoza i perspektywy w kontekście zrównoważonego rozwoju / EU energy policy of 3×20. Diagnosis and …

2016

Unia Europejska stara się działać w oparciu o filozofię zrównoważonego rozwoju. Ma ona swoje odzwierciedlenie w różnych politykach UE, w tym w polityce energetycznej. Zakłada ona zwiększenie efektywności energetycznej o 20% względem roku 1990, zmniejszenie emisji CO2 o 20% względem roku 1990 oraz zwiększenie udziału energetyki odnawialnej o 20% względem roku 1990. Celem badawczym jest próba określenia, czy polityka energetyczna UE wyrażona w realizacji 3×20 przyczynia się do realizacji filozofii zrównoważonego rozwoju przez UE. Prace badawcze przeprowadzono w odniesieniu do wszystkich państw wchodzących w skład UE. Zastosowano w nich dane z IEA, BP, Eurostatu. Próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, c…

The applicability of the indicators proposed by the European and national regulatory framework for the verification of the advancement of the plans: …

2014

Indicators are essential operational tools for the preparation of plans, to monitor their progress and for the ex-post verification of the results achieved. As it is known, there is a large corpus of indicators, both at Community and national Italian level, to which designers and planners can refer. However, it remains to verify the effectiveness of general validity parameters in describing the progress of the implementation of plans, which must be necessarily compared with more limited territorial situations. This paper addresses this problem, with reference to the Energy and Environmental Plan of the Sicilian Region (PEARS), comparing the themes proposed at European (Eurostat) and the Ita…
