“…The use of green chemistry technologies and principles in biorefineries, such as solvent and reagent recovery and the minimization of effluent and gas emissions, is essential to define an economically and environmentally sustainable process.In particular, the biorefinery of lignocellulosic materials to produce biofuels, chemicals and materials is presented as a solid alternative to the current petrochemical platform and a possible solution to the accumulation of greenhouse gases…”

“…This Special Issue provides thirteen interesting papers showing examples of projects undertaken or challenges encountered in various countries, such as: Legal reforms for energy transition in Taiwan and Japan; Transition towards solar PV in South Korea; Transition to electricity driven buses in Central Europe; Vehicle transition and the development of electric car production in the United States, the European Union and Japan; Cooling solutions for buildings in Pakistan; Projects in Ecuador to replace fossil fuel use with Hydropower; The Role of Electrification in the Decarbonization of Central-Western Europe; Energy technology innovation through the application of new technologies in oil resource development; Wastewater treatment challenges in Poland; Increased climate change litigation facing Australian Energy Companies; Renewable energy solution to a Childcare facility in Tokyo; and Canadian policies to support renewable gas production from organic waste. This Special Issue provides global perspectives and uncertainties on energy transition and will appeal to all levels of readers…”

“…Also, land use change and forestry in Finland, which have historically offset a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions, became a net source of emissions for the first time in 2021. …”

“…What were once regarded as “nice-to-have” initiatives with voluntary reporting have moved into the regulated sphere with mandatory public disclosures and reporting requirements on greenhouse gas emissions, climate risk and transition planning, biodiversity and nature-related impacts, supply chain transparency, human rights, human capital, and board diversity. …”

“…But prematurely mandating severe reductions of greenhouse gas emissions would make us -- and developing countries, especially -- poorer and less able to cope with any future problems…”

“…Rio launched rounds of climate change meetings and summits, with developing nations refusing to countenance any agreement restraining their greenhouse gas emissions - their blanket exemption from the 1997 Kyoto Protocol leading to its rejection by the United States that year, and again twelve years later in Copenhagen. …”

“…In scenario 1, No Free Lunch, oil prices for consumers and business increase because of greenhouse gas-reduction legislation, and states and localities implement road pricing, which results in higher revenues. …”

“…Understand the origins of design thinking and why successful businesses value it Discover why design thinking is so effective at generating breakthrough ideas Pick up the ability to run effective design thinking sessions with cross-functional teams Learn how to explain design thinking's value and outcomes to your stakeholders Master the basic tools and techniques of design thinking Gretchen Anderson is Director of Design for Pacific Gas & Electric, where she's chartered with bringing design thinking to this 110-year old utility to drive it toward greater efficiency and safety. …”

“…Under the central scenario, which assumes a multilateral subsidy removal over the 2013-2020 period, trade in natural gas would be most affected, with a 6% decrease by 2020. …”

“…Whereas the low prices make coal producers struggle, they prove very attractive for power generators despite increasingly strong environmental policies, growing competitiveness of renewables and declining gas prices.This year's edition of the IEA's Medium-Term Coal Market Report presents, for the first time, a Chinese "Peak Coal" case, which explores the factors that could cause coal use in China to enter a structural decline. …”

“…This synthetic report aims to provide an overview of possible levers to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of water and sanitation services and provides an analysis of how adaptation measures can embrace this low-carbon approach…”

“…Buy it, jam it into your pocket, and hit the gas. Greg's got your back…”

“…En tal sentido, el hidrógeno despunta como el modelo energético que motorizaría el desarrollo humano a mediados de siglo y que su implantación requiere de un sistema energético de transición que privilegie el gas natural y permita la utilización de la infraestructura actual dirigida a las fuentes fósiles. …”
