Book excerpt: Aujourd'hui, chacun peut compenser ses émissions de carbone sur Internet, en quelques clics. Mais que signifie au juste ce " compenser " ? Quels sont les mécanismes de la compensation " de conformité ", dans le cadre du protocole de Kyoto, ou " volontaire " ? Comment y participer et à quels organismes faire appel lorsqu'on est une entreprise ou un particulier ? La compensation carbone s'inscrit au nombre des instruments à notre disposition pour lutter contre le réchauffement climatique, qui menace lourdement l'équilibre de notre planète. Celui-ci est dû à la présence croissante de gaz à effet de serre dans l'atmosphère, liée aux activités humaines (production d'énergie, industrie, transport terrestre et aérien, chauffage, agriculture). Quand il n'est pas possible de réduire nos émissions, nous pouvons les compenser en finançant des projets qui réduisent celle d'une autre entreprise ou collectivité. Valentin Bellassen et Benoît Leguet, spécialistes des questions liées à l'action contre le changement climatique, apportent ici des réponses claires et concises à toutes les interrogations sur les mécanismes, la mise en application et l'efficacité de la compensation carbone.
Download or read book La compensation carbone volontaire written by Angéline Chartier and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La compensation carbone volontaire a émergé au début des années 2000 en tant que dispositif de lutte contre le changement climatique. Ses promoteurs initiaux l'ont impulsée pour intéresser les individus, les entreprises et les collectivités territoriales. Mais elle demeure peu connue et peu analysée. Cet ouvrage montre comment les enjeux de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre percutent et assimilent les enjeux de développement dans les Suds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La compensation carbone est un artefact économique à l’usage des collectifs et des particuliers. Elle entend contrebalancer des émissions de gaz à effet de serre par le financement de projets techniques réduisant d’autres émissions comparables. Mais ce marché créé de toute pièce est-il fiable ? Est-il réellement un outil de lutte volontaire contre le changement climatique ou n’est-il qu’un leurre favorisant l’inertie de nos modes de vie ? Quelle idée de responsabilité et de justice, entre le Nord et le Sud notamment, la compensation porte-t-elle ? Le débat est plus que jamais d’actualité, en réponse au succès croissant de ce marché mais aussi à la nécessité désormais reconnue d’agir vite et sans détour contre les effets délétères de nos activités humaines. Répondre à ces questions dépasse la simple analyse critique : poser un regard sur la compensation, c’est aussi s’interroger sur nos fonctionnements psychologiques et sociaux, ainsi que sur les valeurs qui les sous-tendent.

Download or read book Economic Choices in a Warming World written by Christian de Perthuis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-10 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the Stern Review, economists have started to ask more normative questions about climate change. Should we act now or tomorrow? What is the best theoretical carbon price to reach long-term abatement targets? How do we discount the long-term costs and benefits of climate change? This provocative book argues that these are the wrong sorts of questions to ask because they don't take into account the policies that have already been implemented. Instead, it urges us to concentrate on existing policies and tools by showing how the development of carbon markets could dramatically reduce world greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, triggering policies to build a new low-carbon energy system while restructuring the way agriculture interacts with forests. This provides an innovative perspective on how a post-Kyoto international climate regime could emerge from agreements between the main GHG emitters capping their emissions and building an international carbon market.

Download or read book Standing up for a Sustainable World written by Claude Henry and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-25 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world has witnessed extraordinary economic growth, poverty reduction and increased life expectancy and population since the end of WWII, but it has occurred at the expense of undermining life support systems on Earth and subjecting future generations to the real risk of destabilising the planet. This timely book exposes and explores this colossal environmental cost and the dangerous position the world is now in. Standing up for a Sustainable World is written by and about key individuals who have not only understood the threats to our planet, but also become witness to them and confronted them.

Download or read book Carbon Capture and Storage written by Ian Havercroft and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is increasingly viewed as one of the most significant ways of dealing with greenhouse gas emissions. Critical to realising its potential will be the design of effective legal regimes at national and international level that can handle the challenges raised but without stifling a new technology of potential great public benefit. These include: long-term liability for storage; regulation of transport; the treatment of stored carbon under emissions trading regimes; issues of property ownership; and, increasingly, the sensitivities of handling the public engagement and perception. Following its publication in 2011, Carbon Capture and Storage quickly became required reading for all those interested in, or engaged by, the need to implement regulatory approaches to CCS. The intervening years have seen significant developments globally. Earlier legislative models are now in force, providing important lessons for future legal design. Despite these developments, the growth of the technology has been slower in some jurisdictions than others. This timely new edition will update and critically assess these updates and provide context for the development of CCS in 2018 and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geological storage and sequestration of carbon dioxide, in saline aquifers, depleted oil and gas fields or unminable coal seams, represents one of the most important processes for reducing humankind's emissions of greenhouse gases. Geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) reviews the techniques and wider implications of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS).Part one provides an overview of the fundamentals of the geological storage of CO2. Chapters discuss anthropogenic climate change and the role of CCS, the modelling of storage capacity, injectivity, migration and trapping of CO2, the monitoring of geological storage of CO2, and the role of pressure in CCS. Chapters in part two move on to explore the environmental, social and regulatory aspects of CCS including CO2 leakage from geological storage facilities, risk assessment of CO2 storage complexes and public engagement in projects, and the legal framework for CCS. Finally, part three focuses on a variety of different projects and includes case studies of offshore CO2 storage at Sleipner natural gas field beneath the North Sea, the CO2CRC Otway Project in Australia, on-shore CO2 storage at the Ketzin pilot site in Germany, and the K12-B CO2 injection project in the Netherlands.Geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) is a comprehensive resource for geoscientists and geotechnical engineers and academics and researches interested in the field. - Reviews the techniques and wider implications of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) - An overview of the fundamentals of the geological storage of CO2 discussing the modelling of storage capacity, injectivity, migration and trapping of CO2 among other subjects - Explores the environmental, social and regulatory aspects of CCS including CO2 leakage from geological storage facilities, risk assessment of CO2 storage complexes and the legal framework for CCS
