CO2 emissions from nonenergy use - methodological aspects and a case study for Germany

Article Abstract:

The consumption of fossil fuels for the manufacture of synthetic materials such as plastic is called nonenergy use. Nonenergy partly leads to short-term emissions of carbon dioxide. Researchers in this study applied the IPCC method and material flow analysis to Germany. The results indicated that the material-flow analysis confirms the outcome according to the IPCC Reference Approach. Another result indicated that total carbon losses equal about 10% of nonenergy use.

CO(sub)2 emissions from soil in response to climatic warming are overestimated - the decomposition of old soil organic matter is tolerant of temperature

Article Abstract:

Organic carbon storage in soil should decrease as a result of global warming by accelerating organic matter relative to the net primary production of vegetation. Consequently, this decrease would increase the atmospheric CO(sub)2, since soil contains twice the amount of carbon as previously. Researchers estimate that in response to climatic warming, decomposition will accelerate and the C storage of boreal forest soils will increase.

Fossils Fuels in the 21st century

Article Abstract:

Fossils are considered important in supplying the energy requirements of the 21st century and their future supply and the impact of their use on global climate is presented. It is concluded that even with substantial increases in energy derived from other sources, fossil fuels will remain a major energy source for much of the 21st century and the sequestration of CO(sub 2) will be an increasingly important requirement.
