2. 1. Clean development Mechanism (CDM) Policy and Implementation in China

   Author : Lei Zeng; Leif Gustavsson; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : Climate change; Clean development mechanism; CDM; CO2; Green House Gas; GHG; landfill gas; sustainable development; China; Energi- och miljöteknik;

   Abstract : China is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the world. Since 68% of its primary energy is from coal, China’s average energy intensity is 7.5 times higher than the EU and 4.3 times higher than the US (EU, 2003). READ MORE

4. 2. Understanding the Clean Development Mechanism and its dual aims : the case of China's projects

   Author : Qie Sun; Ronald Wennersten; Nils Brandt; Magnus Enell; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Clean development mechanism CDM ; Climate change mitigation; Kyoto Protocol; Sustainable Development; China’s mitigation strategy; Cost benefit analysis CBA ; co-benefits; Multi-criteria analysis MCA ; Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP ; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

   Abstract : Having been running for over 10 years, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is considered an innovative and successful mitigation initiative. CDM has the dual aims of helping industrialised countries achieve compliance with their emission limitation and reduction commitments in a cost-effective way, while simultaneously assisting developing countries in sustainable development.

5. 3. Hybrid Governance in Practice : Public and Private Actors in the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism

   Author : Emma Lund; Statsvetenskapliga institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; effectiveness; private actors; multilateral environmental agreements; hybrid governance; global governance; climate regime; UNFCCC; Kyoto Protocol; CDM; Clean Development Mechanism;

   Abstract : It is commonly argued that the private sector needs to become actively involved for society to stand a chance of solving the most pressing global problems. This thesis, consisting of five articles previously published in refereed journals and an introductory essay, studies one case of private actor participation in global environmental governance: the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).

6. 4. A Study on the Reaction between MgO Based Refractories and Slag-Towards the Development of Carbon-free Lining Material

   Author : Huijun Wang; Sichen Du; Stuart Millman; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MgO refractory; lining material; carbon-free; clean steel; ladle glaze; slag penetration; dissolution mechanism; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

   Abstract : In present thesis, the fundamental studies on the reaction between MgO based refractories and slag were undertaken for the development of a carbon-free bonding MgO lining material. Alumina was selected as a potential binder material. Due to MgO-Al2O3 chemical reaction, the developed refractory was bonded by MgO·Al2O3 spinel phase. READ MORE

7. 5. An evaluation of solar powered irrigation as carbon offset projects

   Author : Alexander Olsson; Jinyue Yan; Björn Frostell; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbon offset; carbon sequestration; clean development mechanism; climate change adaptation; desertification; solar power water pumping; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : Carbon offsets have been developed as one tool to incentivise investments by developed nations in climate change mitigation activities in developing countries. The carbon offsets can be used towards the countries’ own mitigation targets but are also meant to benefit developing countries by providing a pathway to clean development. READ MORE
