2. 16. All CO2 molecules are equal, but some CO2 molecules are more equal than others

   Author : Stefan Grönkvist; Mats Westermark; Lee Schipper; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; climate change mitigation; abatement of GHG-emissions; co-operation; district heating; waste-heat utilisation; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with some challenges related to the mitigation of climate change and the overall aim is to present and assess different possibilities for the mitigation of climate change by: • Suggesting some measures with a potential to abate net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, • Discussing ideas for how decision-makers could tackle some of the encountered obstacles linked to these measures, and • Pointing at some problems with the current Kyoto framework and suggesting modifications of it. The quantification of the net CO2 effect from a specific project, frequently referred to as emissions accounting, is an important tool to evaluate projects and strategies for mitigating climate change.
