Book Description
NCGG4 is the fourth in a series of conferences devoted to the science and policy of greenhouse gases other than carbon dioxide. This symposium was especially devoted to the implementation of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Kyoto Protocol entered into force on the 16th of February of 2005 after the ratification by 55 countries together responsible for 55% of the greenhouse gas emissions. The Fourth International Symposium on Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gases (NCGG4) could not have been held more timely as many countries are more committed now to greenhouse gas emission reductions. Science has drawn our attention recently to the fact that air pollution may have obscured the actual global warming by global dimming. Therefore during this conference the interactions between trace gases in the atmosphere and especially the ozone chemistry were discussed extensively. Further topics which were discussed to reduce emissions were: science, control, policy and implementation strategies. Because of the wide attendance from different countries in the world the Symposium offered excellent opportunities to discuss policy and implementation issues within the different regions. It has now been widely recognised that the non-CO2 greenhouse gases offer exellent opportunities to contribute substantially to meeting national commitments at relatively low costs.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 957
Book Description
Climate change is an issue that is highly debated around the globe. This book brings together the papers that were presented at a conference dedicated to this issue, held in Kyoto in October 2002. Covering a broad range of areas, the topics presented will benefit both those working in the field of carbon dioxide recovery and sequestration, and those looking at the effects of non carbon dioxide greenhouse gases. An overview of the Research and Design technologies which aid in mitigating climate change is included, which will be invaluable to those researching new opportunities for dealing with this problem. - An area of research that has seen a rapid rise in worldwide spend - Will benefit both researchers in climate change, and those looking at new technologies to help deal with the problem - Presents papers from contributors spread around the globe means that this book has world wide relevance

Book Description
These proceedings contain 270 papers outlining ideas and contributions to the new scientific, technical and political discipline of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Control. The contributions were presented at the 4th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies (GHGT-4). It was the largest gathering of experts active in this new and fast-developing field.GHGT-4 was different from its predecessors in that it included all greenhouse gases, not only CO2, and all issues which could contribute to the mitigation of the greenhouse problem - technical, economic and political. The main focus was on practical solutions and real demonstrations of mitigation technology being planned and implemented today. It also addressed ways to increase the efficiency of power production and utilisation, and looked at proposals to encourage the development of renewable energy sources.During the Opening Session, 10 keynote addresses were heard from prominent personalities in government, industry and academia. To tackle this very inter-disciplinary problem and to achieve acceptable solutions, it is essential for industry and government to initiate intense dialogue and cooperation. Conferences like this can provide the opportunity for a meeting of minds between engineers and politicians in the face of global challenge. The primary attributes of this global challenge are manifold: the problem is global and international; it is inter-disciplinary, both in substance and approach; it covers technical, political and economic issues and involves government, science, industry and academia; it is complex and non-linear; and it will take the efforts of all parties involved to solve the problem.These proceedings contain ideas for starting demonstration projects and for making better use of the power and flexibility of market measures. They also show it is a problem we can influence and that there is a wealth of ideas. The challenge now is to find the right partners to put these ideas into action.

Quantification and Mitigation Strategies to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Livestock Production Systems

Book Description
Ruminants contribute significantly to human food security. However, the production of ruminants contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are responsible for climate change. GHGs such as methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide are produced from different processes of ruminant production. Ruminant enteric methane is a substantial component of methane produced by agriculture. This book presents novel and established methods in quantifying and reducing enteric methane emission from ruminants in different production systems. The book covers different types of ruminants including cattle, sheep, and goats. The chapters are contributed by scientists and authors from different parts of the world, demonstrating the importance of this problem and the universal drive for immediate and sustainable solutions. Although, biologically speaking, the production of enteric methane cannot be reduced to zero, high emissions are an indicator of inefficient digestion of feed in the rumen and low utilisation of feed energy. By presenting research that could lead to robust and yet practical quantification methods and mitigation strategies, this book not only contributes to the discourse and new knowledge on the magnitude of the problem but also brings forward potential solutions in different livestock production systems.
