Promoting green buildings: Barriers, solutions, and policies
Azhgaliyeva, Dina; Rahut, Dil Bahadur - 2022
The building and construction sectors contribute about 38% of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and account for 35% of the total energy consumption. With the growing population (especially in developing Asia) and increasing income, the demand for construction and building will continue to rise,...

Decarbonisation and financial performance of energy companies
Horváth, Ágnes; Papp, Adrienn Takács; Lipták, Katalin; … - In: Amfiteatru Economic Journal 24 (2022) 61, pp. 701-719
Our daily lives are unimaginable without energy. Producing it, however, may be harmful to the environment depending on the energy source. The Paris Agreement brought a key question to the fore: with or without coal? The Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) members, including the European Union,...

Global Climate Change, Technology Transfer and Trade with Complete Specialization
Rübbelke, Dirk T.G.; Mukherjee, Vivekananda - 2006
The paper develops a model in which a country with better technology for abatement of Green House Gas (GHG) emission (the North) commits to an international protocol to keep the global GHG emission within a specified limit while it helps the mitigation effort in the other country (the South)...

Optimising environmental product life cycles: A case study of the European pulp and paper sector
Weaver, Paul M.; Gabel, H. Landis; Bloemhof-Ruwaard, … - 1997
In this paper, we propose a methodology, based on materials accounting and operational research techniques, to assess different industry configurations according to their life cycle environmental impacts. Rather than evaluating a specific technology, our methodology searches for the feasible...

An economic approach to monitoring pollution accidents
Gottinger, Hans Werner - 1998
We model the occurrence of an environmental accident as a stochastic event, in particular the situation of an oil spill is explored. Characteristics of the ship operator, and the different types of the ship's operating environment determine a stochastic process governing the time patterns and...

Optimisation of flight movements in Europe: Possibilities for reducing the number of flight movements in Europe, taking the quality of the connections into account
Nollau, Alexander; Thießen, Friedrich - 2019
Many current problems in air traffic are related to the number of aircraft movements. Overcrowding in the airspace, difficult coordination at airports, high emissions of noise and pollutants as well as complexity of airlines are side effects of too many aircraft movements. This study examines...

A structural model of coronavirus behaviour for testing on data behaviour
Meenagh, David; Minford, Patrick - 2021
We fit the logistic function, the reduced form of epidemic behaviour, to the data for deaths from Covid-19, for a wide variety of countries, with a view to estimating a causal model of the covid virus' progression. We then set out a structural model of the Covid virus behaviour based on...
