Currently, the global warming becomes serious and has become the crisis and challenge of all the world. Low carbon economy is the best mode of coping with the global warming and realizing sustainable development of economy and society. At present, The United States is still in the first place of greenhouse gas are worth of using for reference in developed countries. At present, the United States is still the biggest country that exhausts greenhouse gases, such as CO2;however, carbon emissions in China can not be ignored. Recent research indicates that it is valuable to learn from developed countries carbon or energy taxes policy.

Dynamic Game Model

Climate-Change (Global warming) is the central point on the current agenda of the international environmental policy. This paper proposes a model to formulate the global warming policy as dynamic Stackelberg or Leader-Follower Game. In this game, an international agency or international agreement is the leader, who will decide the emission abatement rate of each region; and the followers are several regions who control their consumption of carbon-energy relating to carbon emissions. The challenge of this model is to solve its equilibrium since it is not a liner-quadratic game model.

Average Temperature

Global warming is the increasing of the average temperature in the atmosphere, ocean, and mainland on Earth. Increasing of global warming was caused by air pollution of carbon emissions, among others, the use of LPG, the gasoline, and the electricity. The carbon emissions can be reduced by absorption of vegetation. This study compare the carbon emissions by in Buana Sakti Village with carbon stored in the private forest of Buana Sakti Village. The research objective was to determine the ratio of carbon emissions from the use of LPG, the gasoline, and the electricity with carbon stored on the vegetation in the private forest. The method used in this research is to calculate carbon emissions in the use of LPG, the gasoline, and the electricity. Carbon sequestration obtained from the calculation of the biomass of trees, understorey, and nekromassa. Carbon emissions by in Buana Sakti Village is 6,16 tons and the carbon stored in the Buana Sakti Village is 95,03 tons. From the data obtained, the private forest is able to tackle carbon emissions resulting from the use of LPG, the gasoline and, the electricity in the Buana Sakti Village. Therefore, the private forest must be preserved so that the amount of carbon in the atmosphere remain balanced and the public can still take advantage of the results of the private forest. Keywords: carbon emissions, carbon stored, private forest

Subject The prospects for global climate governance in 2018. Significance The 2017 UN COP23 Climate Change Conference, chaired by Fiji, ended in the shadow of news that 2017 is expected to see a 2% rise in global carbon emissions. After three years of roughly stable emissions, this estimated increase magnifies the challenge of making the sharp emission reductions needed to meet the Paris Agreement’s goal of keeping global warming to below 2 degrees centigrade above preindustrial levels, even as the renewable energy sector grows and electric vehicle technology makes further progress.

Hybrid Propulsion

Abstract With the effects of global warming, the North Sea Route has become an economic option for cargo transportation because of the shorter distance between East Asia and Europe. Generally, conventional mechanical propulsion systems installed in ice-capable tankers suffer from significant drawbacks because of poor fuel efficiency when sailing at low speed, therefore, advanced technologies have been applied such as diesel electric and nuclear-powered propulsion; however, drawbacks still exist. Hybrid propulsion is a more environmental-friendly, economical solution for ships with icebreaking capability, which can address the drawbacks in both diesel electric and nuclear power systems. In this paper, modeling of system components is presented and implemented in MATLAB Simulink. A primary control strategy is applied to the system to ensure system stability, and an advanced secondary strategy is developed and applied to the power sources to minimize fuel consumption. Given two scenarios, the simulation results of the hybrid propulsion system developed in this research and those of diesel electric propulsion systems with DC and AC distribution systems are compared and indicate that the hybrid system can offer up to 22.4% fuel savings over ice-loading condition, and 39.5% fuel reduction over the particular voyage of varying speed in open water is applied in this paper. Introduction In recent years, some sea routes that were previously blocked by ice have become increasingly accessible in the warmest months of the year due to the effects of global warming. Researchers have estimated that, by 2030, the percentage of Arctic shipping will have increased to 25% of cargo trade between Europe and Asia (Lasserre 2019). Northern Sea Route (NSR) shipping provides benefits for international trade, but challenges still exist. Increasing carbon emissions have seriously impacted the Arctic environment (Hassol & Corell 2006). Table 1 shows the total number of ships using Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) in Arctic waters in 2015, and associated black carbon emissions, as published by the IMO (Comer et al. 2017). As it is shown, oil tankers made up just 4.5% of all ships entering Arctic waters but despite their low proportion, they were responsible for 17% of black carbon emissions. Thus, an environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient propulsion system to reduce these emissions from tankers trading in Arctic waters is required.

Yuan Tseh Lee was instrumental in the development and construction of an apparatus that utilized crossed molecular beams, presenting a break-through technique that allowed for the understanding of the dynamics of elementary chemical reactions. This was done by following the trajectories of reactants and reaction products in single collision events, allowing the visualization of the dynamics of how chemical reactions take place. This article also highlights Prof. Lee’s belief in the severity of the consequences of global warming and his concerns relating to the need to substantially reduce carbon emissions.
