Co2 Emission Reduction

To estimate the benefits of reuse building, this study selected 8 street-house cases from ¡§Old House, New Life reuse movement and calculated the average CO2 emissions of rebuilding and refinishing in their life cycle. The results indicated that the average CO2 emission is 103.14 kg-CO2 /m2 before renovation, and 5.73 kg-CO2 /m2 after renovation. The efficiency of CO2 emission reduction can be raised up to 60% and 70%. If the street houses extend their life span from 60 years to 90 years, the life cycle CO2 emissions can be reduced from the original 1.89 kg-CO2 /m2¡Eyr to 1.39 kg-CO2 / m2¡Eyr. It's advantageous not only to make the best of old houses, but to decrease the environmental load.

Co2 Emission Reduction

The pulp and paper (P&P) sector is a dynamic manufacturing industry and plays an essential role in the Austrian economy. However, the sector, which consumes about 20 TWh of final energy, is responsible for 7% of Austria’s industrial CO2 emissions. This study, intending to assess the potential for improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions in the Austrian context in the P&P sector, uses a bottom-up approach model. The model is applied to analyze the energy consumption (heat and electricity) and CO2 emissions in the main processes, related to the P&P production from virgin or recycled fibers. Afterward, technological options to reduce energy consumption and fossil CO2 emissions for P&P production are investigated, and various low-carbon technologies are applied to the model. For each of the selected technologies, the potential of emission reduction and energy savings up to 2050 is estimated. Finally, a series of low-carbon technology-based scenarios are developed and evaluated. These scenarios’ content is based on the improvement potential associated with the various processes of different paper grades. The results reveal that the investigated technologies applied in the production process (chemical pulping and paper drying) have a minor impact on CO2 emission reduction (maximum 10% due to applying an impulse dryer). In contrast, steam supply electrification, by replacing fossil fuel boilers with direct heat supply (such as commercial electric boilers or heat pumps), enables reducing emissions by up to 75%. This means that the goal of 100% CO2 emission reduction by 2050 cannot be reached with one method alone. Consequently, a combination of technologies, particularly with the electrification of the steam supply, along with the use of carbon-free electricity generated by renewable energy, appears to be essential.
