With the growth of population and vehicles, transportation sector is taking up the major share of energy consumption and CO2 emission in BRIC Countries. This paper is intended to analyze the energy, emission and environmental situation of the transportation sector in BRIC Countries from an energy point of view. Historical data is used to investigate the energy consumption in BRIC Countries from 1990 to 2009. A method of calculating CO2 emissions is employed in transportation sector of BRIC Countries. The total CO2 emission and emission from sub-sector of transportation in CO2 emissions of the four countries are described. The polices to reduce energy consumption and emissions are suggested to give a richer understanding of current status in transportation environment of BRIC Countries

Reduce Energy Consumption

More than half of the world’s population lives in cities. A large part of the emissions and energy consumption corresponds to buildings, both in the residential sector and in the service sector. This means that a large part of the measures taken by governments to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are focused on this sector. With this background, this paper studies energy consumption in city buildings and the CO2 emissions they produce. It only makes use of publicly available data. The analysis is made from the point of view of income per inhabitant, and the results are obtained per inhabitant and household. To facilitate the analysis of the results, an index has been defined. The main contributions of this work are to analyze energy consumption and emissions due to buildings, study them from the point of view of the income of their inhabitants, and consider cities individually. The proposed methodology has been applied to the case of Spain. A total of 145 Spanish cities that have more than 50,000 inhabitants have been studied. The results show that the higher the income, the higher the consumption and emissions. Electricity consumptions are almost inelastic, while those of thermal origin are greatly influenced by the level of income. Regarding CO2 emissions, the percentage of emissions of electrical origin with respect to total emissions is higher than that of thermal origin. In addition, the lower the income, the higher the percentage of emissions of electrical origin.

Abstract :  This study aims to determine the level of application of green computing at the Universitas Katolik Musi Charitas Palembang and recommend strategies in implementing green computing. Where green computing itself is the study and realization of the use of computing resources efficiently and environmentally friendly. The purpose of green computing is to increase the efficiency of use and reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint. Universitas Katolik Musi Charitas Palembang has long been using Information Technology (IT), one of which is a computer to support the ongoing process of the academic community. But the use of computers unwittingly provides a big role in environmental pollution and CO2 emissions. Based on the results of research that still needs to be socialized about understanding the importance of management and utilization in the use of IT equipment and policies to support the reduction of energy consumption and environmental pollution.

This research aims to analyze the relationships between causal factors likely to affect future CO2 emissions from the Thai transportation sector by developing the Structural Equation Modeling-Vector Autoregressive Error Correction Mechanism Model (SEM-VECM Model). This model was created to fill information gaps of older models. In addition, the model provides the unique feature of viable model application for different sectors in various contexts. The model revealed all exogenous variables that have direct and indirect influences over changes in CO2 emissions. The variables show a direct effect at a confidence interval of 99%, including per capita GDP (), labor growth (), urbanization rate factor (), industrial structure (), energy consumption (), foreign direct investment (), oil price (), and net exports (). In addition, it was found that every variable in the SEM-VECM model has an indirect effect on changes in CO2 emissions at a confidence interval of 99%. The SEM-VECM model has the ability to adjust to the equilibrium equivalent to 39%. However, it also helps to identify the degree of direct effect that each causal factor has on the others. Specifically, labor growth () had a direct effect on per capita GDP () and energy consumption () at a confidence interval of 99%, while urbanization rate () had a direct effect on per capita GDP (), labor growth (), and net exports () at a confidence interval of 99%. Furthermore, industrial structure () had a direct effect on per capita GDP () at a confidence interval of 99%, whereas energy consumption () had a direct effect on per capita GDP () at a confidence interval of 99%. Foreign direct investment () had a direct effect on per capita GDP () at a confidence interval of 99%, while oil price () had a direct effect on industrial structure (), energy consumption (), and net exports () at a confidence interval of 99%. Lastly, net exports () had a direct effect on per capita GDP () at a confidence interval of 99%. The model eliminates the problem of heteroskedasticity, multicollinearity, and autocorrelation. In addition, it was found that the model is white noise. When the SEM-VECM Model was used for 30-year forecasting (2018–2047), it projected that CO2 emissions would increase steadily by 67.04% (2047/2018) or 123.90 Mt CO2 Eq. by 2047. The performance of the SEM-VECM Model was assessed and produced a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 1.21% and root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.02%. When comparing the performance value with the values of other, older models, the SEM-VECM Model was found to be more effective and useful for future research and policy planning for Thailand’s sustainability goals.

Abstract The ever-growing interest toward energy efficiency imposes the optimization of mechanism design under an energetic point of view. Even if the benefit of using spring balancing systems to reduce energy consumption is intuitive, the relation between spring design and electrical energy consumption has never been systematically addressed in the literature, which is mainly focused on static compensation of gravity forces. This paper tackles this novel and important issue and proposes an analytical method for model-based design of springs minimizing the energy required in rest-to-rest motion. The method relies on the model of energy dissipation that accounts for the characteristics of the mechanical, electrical, and power electronic components of a servo-actuated mechanism. The theory is developed with reference to a single rotating beam. The proposed solution ensures significant energy saving compared with the traditional static balancing design of springs and is particularly suitable for repetitive (cyclic) motion tasks.

Sustainability Problems

Industrial environments are heterogeneous systems that create challenges of interoperability limiting the development of systems capable of working collaboratively from the point of view of machines and software. Additionally, environmental issues related to manufacturing systems have emerged during the last decades, related to sustainability problems faced in the world. Thus, the proposed work aims to present an interoperable solution based on events to reduce the complexity of integration, while creating energetic profiles for the machines to allow the optimization of their energy consumption. A publish/subscribe-based architecture is proposed, where the instantiation is based on Apache Kafka. The proposed solution was implemented in two robotic cells in the automotive industry, constituted by different hardware, which allowed testing the integration of different components. The energy consumption data was then sent to a Postgres database where a graphical interface allowed the operator to monitor the performance of each cell regarding energy consumption. The results are promising due to the system’s ability to integrate tools from different vendors and different technologies. Furthermore, it allows the possibility to use these developments to deliver more sustainable systems using more advanced solutions, such as production scheduling, to reduce energy consumption.
