DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Critical Factors Determining The Quality And Reliability Of A Greenhouse Gas Inventory Is Directly Dependent On The Type Of Activity Data And Emission Factor Used.The Quality Of Any ActivityData Is Related To The Statistical Reliability Of The Sampling Done To Ascertain The Level Of Activity. Similarly, Emission Factors Are More Reliable If They Represent Country Specific Conditions. KeepingThese Concerns In View, An Effort Was Made Under The Aegis Of India'S Initial National Communication, To Reduce Uncertainty In Ghg Inventory Estimates From India. Measurements Were Conducted To Derive Ghg Emission Factors For Some Key Source Categories That Contribute Significantly To The Total National Ghg Inventory. These Included Determination Of Net Calorific Values Of Different Types Of Coal In India, Co2 Emission Coefficients For The Cement Manufacturing Process, Ghg Emission From Transport Sector, Ch4 From Fugitive Emissions In Coal Mining, N2O Emission From Nitric Acid Production, Ch4 Emissions From Agricultural Activities Such Asrice Cultivation And Enteric Fermentation,And Ch4 From Solid Waste Management.The Activity Data, Which Have Been Closely Scrutinized For Reducing Uncertainty, Include Allocation Of Fuel In The Road Transport Sector And Activities Related To The Land Use And Land Cover Change And Forestry Sector. This BookSynthesizes The Sectoral Papers Contributed By Participating Experts And Also Suggests Future Activities That Will Strengthen The Estimates Further.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The world's nations are moving toward agreements that will bind us together in an effort to limit future greenhouse gas emissions. With such agreements will come the need for all nations to make accurate estimates of greenhouse gas emissions and to monitor changes over time. In this context, the present book focuses on the greenhouse gases that result from human activities, have long lifetimes in the atmosphere and thus will change global climate for decades to millennia or more, and are currently included in international agreements. The book devotes considerably more space to CO2 than to the other gases because CO2 is the largest single contributor to global climate change and is thus the focus of many mitigation efforts. Only data in the public domain were considered because public access and transparency are necessary to build trust in a climate treaty. The book concludes that each country could estimate fossil-fuel CO2 emissions accurately enough to support monitoring of a climate treaty. However, current methods are not sufficiently accurate to check these self-reported estimates against independent data or to estimate other greenhouse gas emissions. Strategic investments would, within 5 years, improve reporting of emissions by countries and yield a useful capability for independent verification of greenhouse gas emissions reported by countries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Carbon Inventory Methods Handbook fills the need for a handbook that provides guidelines and methods required for carbon inventory. It provides detailed step-by-step information on sampling procedures, field and laboratory measurements, application of remote sensing and GIS techniques, modeling, and calculation procedures along with sources of data for carbon inventory. The book is driven by a growing need for ‘carbon inventory’ for land use sections such as forests.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →World Bank Technical Paper No. 378. In the cities of Nepal's Kathmandu Valley, the main contributor of air pollution comes from the transport sector, followed by power plants, industrial units, and burning of garbage. Fuel quality and engine conditions significantly influence the level of air pollution. In response to this growing problem, the Urban Environment Management Committee was launched to assist local institutions in developing action plans that would be an integral part of their air quality management system. This report focuses on the development of the air quality management system and concludes with an action plan for air pollution abatement that takes into account the economic costs and benefits of abatement measures for the Kathmandu Valley.

Assessment of Climate Change over the Indian Region

ISBN-13: 9811543275
DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This open access book discusses the impact of human-induced global climate change on the regional climate and monsoons of the Indian subcontinent, adjoining Indian Ocean and the Himalayas. It documents the regional climate change projections based on the climate models used in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) and climate change modeling studies using the IITM Earth System Model (ESM) and CORDEX South Asia datasets. The IPCC assessment reports, published every 6–7 years, constitute important reference materials for major policy decisions on climate change, adaptation, and mitigation. While the IPCC assessment reports largely provide a global perspective on climate change, the focus on regional climate change aspects is considerably limited. The effects of climate change over the Indian subcontinent involve complex physical processes on different space and time scales, especially given that the mean climate of this region is generally shaped by the Indian monsoon and the unique high-elevation geographical features such as the Himalayas, the Western Ghats, the Tibetan Plateau and the adjoining Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and Bay of Bengal. This book also presents policy relevant information based on robust scientific analysis and assessments of the observed and projected future climate change over the Indian region.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Leading air quality professionals describe different aspects of air pollution. The book presents information on four broad areas of interest in the air pollution field; the air pollution monitoring; air quality modeling; the GIS techniques to manage air quality; the new approaches to manage air quality. This book fulfills the need on the latest concepts of air pollution science and provides comprehensive information on all relevant components relating to air pollution issues in urban areas and industries. The book is suitable for a variety of scientists who wish to follow application of the theory in practice in air pollution. Known for its broad case studies, the book emphasizes an insightful of the connection between sources and control of air pollution, rather than being a simple manual on the subject.
