The Future Of Clean Power GenerationGlenn Klith Andersen

��

The document discusses the future of clean power generation and solar power in particular. It notes that electricity generation currently relies heavily on coal, which accounts for a large portion of man-made carbon emissions. Solar power could help address this by providing near-zero emissions electricity. Specifically, covering just 1% of the world's desert areas could meet global power demand. However, for solar to succeed on a large scale it needs to achieve lower costs comparable to fossil fuels, provide dispatchable or on-demand power through storage, and have reliability equivalent to fossil fuel plants. The document advocates for policies that can help drive down solar costs and facilitate scaling to meet carbon reduction goals through 2050.

Working with AECOM Environment, we address climate change mitigation at the community scale by providing recommendations for effective strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). We performed cost-benefit analyses on 20 GHG reduction strategies such as installing efficient appliances, taking public transit and installing solar panels. Combined with relevant geographic requirements, these analyses informed development of our software model and serve as the basis for tailored GHG reduction plans. Dubbed SAFEGUARD, our software prioritizes reduction strategies based on cost effectiveness. SAFEGUARD addresses the political feasibility of implementing strategies by allowing the user to override the software’s economic prioritization. Accompanying the software is a user manual and detailed methods describing the processes used to build the model and determine the required inputs. We have created a useful tool for consultants and governments to determine optimal greenhouse gas reduction strategies at the community scale.

This document discusses carbon pricing and actions individuals can take to reduce emissions. It summarizes a report on equitable emissions reductions and current emissions levels by country. It then provides three concise summaries of the key points: 1) Carbon pricing will have minimal direct impact on most individuals and the economy. Only large emitters need to directly comply, and most costs will be offset through tax reductions or passed on in minor ways. 2) Individual actions like energy efficiency upgrades and switching to renewable energy or electric vehicles can significantly reduce emissions cost-effectively. 3) Innovation will further reduce costs over time as low-carbon technologies improve. A carbon price provides an incentive to develop solutions without hugely impacting the economy.

An easily traceable scenario for GHG 80% reduction in Japan for local energy ...Masayuki Horio

��

To develop a scenario sure and easily traceable even for ordinary citizens toward the national challenge target of 80% CO2 reduction by 2050, we first developed a model to calculate the total CO2 emission corresponding to the final consumption and second developed an appropriate technology based scenario consisting of the following consumer oriented sub-scenarios: (1) energy saving through electrification of all transportation, (2) promotion of wood utilization for housing and household energy saving; (3) introduction of renewable energies; and (4) efficient energy utilization of wastes. Applying the scenario to Kyoto that has the similar strategies to our proposed scenarios, we found that about 80% CO2 emission reduction is possible just within the appropriate technology limit with the effect of population reduction and with the potential emission reduction from construction of private and public infrastructures, and that shifting our final consumption mode into low CO2 emission mode has a significant impact. Keywords: CO2 emission reduction, appropriate technologies, local energy strategy, the final consumption

Wood plays an important role in combating climate change by storing carbon extracted from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. About half the weight of wood is carbon. Wood construction requires less fossil fuels than other materials like concrete and stores carbon throughout the lifetime of wood products. Case studies show wooden buildings can have lower lifecycle carbon footprints than non-wood alternatives. A holistic, collaborative design process is important to ensure low carbon footprints by making informed material and system choices early in the design phase.
