Automotive Emission

This report explains how California has historically enacted regulation curtailing conventional pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions. By examining previous California automotive emission controls that have led to the development of similar standards across the country, it can be argued that California has the capacity to be a leader in climate change policy and greenhouse gas emission standards in the future. This means that the air pollution problems of the state are not a burden, but rather an incentive to develop a policy countering global warming at the federal level. In this analysis, a rationale is established for interest groups to aim at California state regulations if they wish to improve automotive emission policy in the United States, and potentially reduce the effects of global warming worldwide [...]

Abstract. Many metrics for comparing greenhouse gas emissions can be expressed as an instantaneous Global Warming Potential multiplied by the ratio of airborne fractions calculated in various ways. The Forcing Equivalent Index (FEI) provides a specification for equal radiative forcing at all times at the expense of generally precluding point by point equivalence over time. The FEI can be expressed in terms of asymptotic airborne fractions for exponentially growing emissions. This provides a reference against which other metrics can be compared.

Energy Options

Policy uncertainty is a significant issue for all companies in the energy sector. It is particularly problematic when policy decisions are made to change the nature of the energy sector, both now and during the coming decades. Government climate change policy has the potential to reshape the exploration and development of both oil and gas reserves.The energy sector requires policy certainty to undertake long-term decisions. This can occur only when government makes socially sustainable, robust, and well-reasoned climate change policy. The core challenge is determining the merit of different choices given the magnitude of uncertainty that needs to be dealt with. Quantifying the uncertainty of technological innovation, future greenhouse gas emission costs, and capital and operating costs over time allows for the comparison of alternative policies to encourage the deployment of low-carbon technologies. A reliable and affordable supply of energy is a fundamental component to a vibrant economy. CEDA’s research project, Australia’s energy options, has sought to provide objective evidence for informed decision making. It has involved three policy perspectives examining Australia’s nuclear options: renewables and efficiency; unconventional energy options; and, a reform agenda that would enhance the energy sector’s efficiency, security, and effectiveness. This extended abstract builds on this extensive research and discusses how governments at all levels can deal with the uncertainty of climate change and make long-term decisions that will underpin investment decisions across the energy sector.

Abstract Landfill is a place where waste reaches the final stage. The piles of waste can generate greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming the potential of climate change. The greenhouse gas emission generates from the piles of waste is CH4 emission. The research purpose is to count CH4 emission in the waste landfill in Medan city located in Terjun, projection CH4 emission for ten years later is 2020-2029 and decisive the effort reduction of CH4 emission. The scenarios of reducing CH4 emission in Terjun waste landfill reduce the potential CH4 emission for ten years later. The calculation of CH4 emission from the piles of waste in Terjun waste landfill using FOD method (First Orde Decay) by IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) in 2006. In 2019, CH4 emission in Terjun waste landfill was 12,350.750-ton CH4 and had an uplift in 2029 can reach 17,143.087-ton CH4. There are two scenarios for reducing CH4 emission in the Terjun waste landfill; the first is the processing of waste in the source (composting), and the second is reducing the waste by using incineration technology Terjun landfill. The first scenario (composting) can reduce CH4 emission by 14.80%. The second scenario can reduce by 63.37% the CH4 emission in Terjun waste landfill. The chosen alternative scenario for reducing CH4 in the Terjun waste landfill is the first scenario, the processing of waste in the source (composting).
