In the longer term, it is hoped that carbon capture and sequestration will lead to zero emissions fossil fuel energy systems.

UNU Zero Emissions Research Initiative

ZERI Zero Emissions Research Initiative

35. The Zero Emissions Research Initiative (UNU ZERI) held its third World Congress on Zero Emissions in Jakarta in July.

Green carbon, which is the deforestation and agricultural emissions, and blue carbon together comprise 25 percent of our emissions.

Green carbon, which is the deforestation and agricultural emissions, and blue carbon together comprise 25 percent of our emissions.

Why Cutting Carbon Emissions is not Enough

Carbon dioxide emissions and removals from soils

Zero emissions initiatives aim to promote waste free manufacturing processes.

Less firewood is consumed, but carbon dioxide emissions have increased.

(a) Hold such tonnes of carbon equivalent emissions allowed or

The second study only considers energy related carbon dioxide emissions.

So in a sense this is an absolute zero carbon, zero fossil fuel electric mile at two cents a mile by 2020.

Nuclear power, another important source of zero carbon energy, will also need to play a big role in the future, implying the need to bolster public confidence in its safety. Even fossil fuels can produce zero carbon electricity, if carbon capture and storage is used.

First, even if carbon dioxide emissions stopped today, global warming would continue.

Did we meet our three percent annual target on reducing carbon emissions?

(f) Removing and storing carbon emissions in geological formations or the oceans

In April 1995, the University organized the first World Congress on Zero Emissions.

(e) Any tonnes of carbon equivalent emissions allowed that are transferred to another Party under Article 6 (international emissions trading).

Sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by the LUCF sector in most Parties offset the GHG emissions originating from this sector.

(a) Denial of the opportunity to sell tonnes of carbon equivalent emissions allowed through international emissions trading and or joint implementation and

This is what the U.K. government target on carbon and greenhouse emissions looks like.

Carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per capita of the greenhouse gases listed in Annex B

Carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per capita of the greenhouse gases listed in Annex A

The Second Japanese Regional Zero Emissions Network Conference was held at UNU headquarters in October.

The Kyoto Protocol has generated new markets for trading carbon emissions, such as the European Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). At current carbon prices, the value of carbon sequestration by tropical rainforests likely equals or exceeds the current level of international aid being provided to developing countries.

23. During the reporting period, the Zero Emissions Research Initiative held its second and third world congresses on zero emissions the second took place at Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States in 1996, and the third at Jakarta in 1997.

But what we're missing is also some other emissions like black carbon, that is soot.

Any Party that generates tonnes of carbon equivalent emissions allowed consistent with this Article may

(c) Forest management practices to decrease N2O and CH4 emissions and increase soil carbon and

For each Annex A and Annex B Party, its emissions budget shall be denominated in tonnes of carbon equivalent emissions allowed and shall equal

However, forestry measures alone are not sufficient to halt the increase in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, although they can complement efforts by reducing carbon emissions.

Why not do both invest in R D, but still promise to cut carbon emissions now?

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through renewable sources of energy, non food production and carbon storage

Industry is responsible for 43 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel.9

A national programme to stabilize and reduce carbon dioxide emissions from transport was adopted in 1995.

Such activities include, inter alia, methane emissions from agriculture and waste sectors, coal mining, biomass burning carbon dioxide emissions from land use change and forestry and nitrous oxide emissions from all sectors.

70. Closely related to the improvement of industrial efficiency is the UNU project on minimizing emissions, known by the acronym ZERI (for Zero Emissions Research Initiative).

The decisions specified how to measure emissions and reductions, and the extent to which carbon dioxide absorbed by carbon sinks could be counted towards the Kyoto targets.

Decarbonizing the world s energy system requires preventing our production of vast and growing amounts of electricity from boosting atmospheric CO2 emissions. It also presupposes a switchover to a zero carbon transport fleet and a lot more production per kilowatt hour of energy.

Figures were also given for the indirect GHG carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and non methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC), but not for hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), perfluorocarbons (PFC) and sulphurhexafluoride (SF6), emissions of which the team assume were small or zero in 1990.

Why not do both invest in R amp D, but still promise to cut carbon emissions now?

(a) The tonnes of carbon equivalent emissions it is allowed under paragraph 119.2 or 119.3 below plus

(iii) Undertake measures and forest management practices to decrease N2O and CH4 emissions and increase soil carbon.

Extremely expensive cuts in carbon emissions could mean more malnourished people. If our goal is to fight malnutrition, policies like getting nutrients to those who need them are 5,000 times more effective at saving lives than spending billions of dollars cutting carbon emissions.
