As a major province of energy consumption and carbon emission, Jiangsu Province is also a major province of the construction industry, which is a key region and potential area for carbon emission reduction in China. The research and prediction of carbon emission in the construction industry is of great significance for the development
The realization that turbulence created by deepwater wind turbines could upset the spring phytoplankton bloom has researchers warning the rapidly emerging industry to proceed with caution. When it’s completed, Norway’s Hywind Tampen will be the world’s largest floating offshore wind farm. Compared with most wind farms—even other offshore wind farms—the Hywind Tampen is
Archaeological sites such as those in the Mosque City of Bagerhat on the coast of the country are particularly vulnerable to climate change There must be something wrong with the saltwater,” says Mohammad Helal Uddin, the khatib of the Sixty Dome Mosque, part of the Mosque City of Bagerhat, a Unesco world heritage
Europe has vowed to cut its reliance on Russian fossil fuels by 2027 by scaling up renewable energy. This transition away from oil and gas was already a key goal before the war in Ukraine as the EU seeks to become climate neutral by 2050. But how realistic and affordable are the latest
Historically, carbon dioxide emissions from transport have been a globally discussed and analyzed problem. The adoption of flex fuel vehicles designed to run ethanol–gasoline blends is important to mitigate these emissions. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of the ethanol–gasoline price ratio on different vehicle models, and discuss
At least 9 inches of rain across eastern Kentucky became floodwater that swept through neighborhoods in July 2022. Leandro Lozada/AFP via Getty Images Mathew Barlow, UMass Lowell Powerful storm systems triggered flash flooding across the U.S. in late July, inundating St. Louis neighborhoods with record rainfall and setting off mudslides in eastern Kentucky,
A new climate is re-writing the story of America’s drylands. Harsh and unrelenting. But also transformative? The dry conditions blanketing much of the American West are setting records nearly every week. Lakes Mead and Powell, the country’s largest reservoirs by capacity, dropped to new lows this year. The Great Salt Lake did, too.
By Brett Walton, Circle of Blue – July 21, 2022 As the region’s climate becomes drier, more pipelines are being proposed despite the economic and climate risks. Pipelines that are advancing the fastest are rural and tribal projects backed by federal funding. The proposals echo a century of large-scale water engineering that ushered
The EU Committee on Industry, Research, and Energy agrees on increasing the overall share of renewable energy in European energy production. By 2030, 45% of energy demand is to be supplied from renewable sources. In addition, energy consumption is to be reduced by 40%. This is intended to contribute to greater climate neutrality
With a disabled oil supertanker in the Red Sea possibly just weeks or months away from breaking up or exploding, triggering a $20-billion ecological and humanitarian disaster, countries that could help pay for an emergency salvage plan are saying they can’t find the right budget codes to free up the funds. Many of
