Green House Gas Emissions

Carbon Footprint is one of the Lovely Weather Donegal Residencies projects initiated by Leonardo/Olats and the Regional Cultural Centre of Donegal. It is a process-based work using Inishowen sheep wool and hand spinning as the primary metaphors to articulate the intrinsic relationship between climate change and economics. This project works to rejuvenate the use of local wool and low-tech/slow-tech making by returning the site of production to the individual. This frames the material and making as political acts, de-coupling the link between green house gas emissions and gross domestic product.

Commercial Energy

Coal contributes over half of India’s primary commercial energy and is likely to remain India’s most important source of energy for the coming decade or two. However, extraction and usage of coal leads to severe environmental problems within India and also contributes to climate change inducing green-house gas emissions. But the challenges of coal in India go beyond this, as the sector is plagued with governance challenges, inefficiency and allegations of corruption. This article takes a holistic view of the Indian coal sector. It summarizes the challenges produced by coal as well as the challenges that affect the sector. Furthermore, the article provides a glimpse into the perspectives of an energy future for the country with a reduced role for coal.

Green House Gas Emissions

In the present study, a concrete life-cycle assessment system (CLAS) is developed that can easily and quantitatively assess green-house gas emissions during the production of concrete by applying life-cycle assessment techniques. The CLAS is divided into simple and detailed assessment methods; a database (DB) of a standard mix design and energy consumption amount, and basic green-house units applicable to each method, was constructed. A case assessment using the developed system showed that the green-house gas emission determined by the detailed assessment method differed from that by the simple assessment method by approximately 10%. These results show that the proposed method is suitable for estimating green-house gas emissions related to concrete.
