Extensive experiments were conducted to investigate the emission of DI diesel engine by using DMC(dimethyl carbonate) as an oxygenated fuel additives. The results indicate that smoke reduces almost linearly with fuel oxygen contents. Reductions of HC and CO were attained noticeably, while a small increase in NOx was encountered concurrently. The effective reduction in smoke with DMC was maintained with the presence of CO2, which suggested a low NOx and smoke operation could be obtained in combination of using oxygenated fuel and EGR. Further experiment was conducted a thermal cracking set-up for mechanism studies.

This study has been conducted to describe the establishment of national measures to reduce world energy consumption and $CO_2$ Emission. Particularly, Reductions in energy consumption from building operation is the most important part to achieve these national objectives. Element to evaluate the quantitative effects of these systems by having rationalized regulation and operation is essential, when planning for building energy reduction design. USGBC(US Green Building Council) have operated sustainable assessment method called LEED, which introduces baseline performance and evaluation direction for building simulation techniques. This research analyzed Quantitative assessments of the building energy consumption and analyzed baseline figures to provide comparative analysis with standard building settings.

There is a growing interest in hybrid electric vehicles due to environmental concerns. Recent efforts are directed toward developing an improved main component systems for the hybrid electric vehicle applications. Soon after the introduction of electric starter for internal combustion engine early this century, despite being energy efficient and nonpolluting, electric vehicle lost the battle completly to internal combustion engine due to its limited range and inferior performance. Hybrid Electric vehicles offer the most promising solutions to reduce the emission of vehicles. This paper describes a method for cost reduction estimation of parallel hybrid electric vehicle. We used a cost reduction structure that consisted of five major subsystems (three-type and two-type motor) for parallel hybrid electric vehicle. Especially, we estimated the potential for cost reductions in parallel hybrid electric vehicle as a function of time using the learning curve. Also, we estimated the potentials of cost by depreciation.

A Common-Rail Direct Injection(CRDI) system for high speed diesel engines was developed to meet reductions of noise and vibration, and emission regulations. In this study, CRDI system analysis model which includes fuel and mechanical sub-systems was developed using commercial software, AMESim in order to predict characteristics for various fuel injection components. Each component which constructs system was modeled and verified by sub-model of AMESim obtained characteristics curves of each components. The parameter sensitivity analysis such as throttle size, injection rate, plunger displacement, supply pressure of fuel injection for system design were carried out by the analysis.

Most countries have been focused on the CDM(Clean Development Mechanism). According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, CDM is an arrangement under the Kyoto Protocol allowing industrialized countries with a greenhouse gas reduction commitment to invest in projects that reduce emissions in developing countries as an alternative to more expensive emission reductions in their own countries. There are many environmental problems which resulted from development of IT field. The main objective of this paper is to find an effective methodology as an initial stage for applications of green IT in a real life. Therefore this paper addresses worldwide reviews on green IT products.

This article aims at revealing the dynamic relationships between the energy R&D investment and economic growth in Korea. To achieve this goal, we reviewed the effects of energy R&D investments and tried to make the holistic interconnections for describing the feedback loops between energy R&D and economic system. Energy R&D investments develop the renewable energy, energy efficiency and $CO_2$ emission reductions technologies for accomplishing the national strategic targets. The rapid obsolescence of technologies makes the inefficiency and negative effects in governmental energy R&D investments.

Turbocompounding is a key technology to satisfy the future requirements of diesel engine's fuel economy and emission reduction. A turbocompound diesel engine was developed based on a conventional 11-Liter heavy-duty diesel engine. The turbocompound system includes a power turbine, which is installed downstream of a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) turbine. The impacts of the VGT rack position on the turbocompound engine performance were studied. An optimal VGT control strategy was determined. Experimental results show that the turbocompound engine using the optimal VGT control strategy achieves better performance than the original engine under all full load operation conditions. The averaged and maximum reductions of the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) are 3% and 8% respectively.

An investigation has been made of the various plasma chemistry reactions that occur in the corona discharge of an electrostatic precipitator operating in a typical flue gas. As the results of investigation, sulphur dioxide is removed principally by reactions with OH radicals to produce sulphuric acid, while nitrogen oxides are removed principally by reduction via the N radical to molecular nitrogen. If electrostatic precipitator\ulcorner used for flue gases are operated with positive voltages instead of negative dc voltages, there are significant reductions in the emission of the undesirable gases SO$_2$, NO, and NO$_2$. Thus, in this paper we design the bidirectional pulse generator for removal of flue gas, where the pulse width is more than 50[nsec] and the maximum output voltage is more than 100[kVl.

The construction field must always explore sustainable ways of using its raw materials. Studying the environmental impact generated by reinforced concrete raw materials during their production and transportation can contribute to reducing this impact. This paper initially presents the carbon dioxide emissions from reinforced concrete raw materials, quantified per kilo of raw material and per cubic meter of concrete with different characteristic strengths, for southern Brazil. Subsequently, reinforced concrete elements were optimized to minimize their environmental impact and cost. It was observed that lower values of carbon dioxide emissions and cost savings are generated for less resistant concrete when the structural element is a beam, and that reductions in the cross section dimensions of the beams, sized based on the use of higher strength concrete, may not compensate for the increased environmental impact and costs. For the columns, the behavior differed, presenting lower values of carbon dioxide emissions and costs for higher concrete strengths. The proposed methodology, as well as the results obtained, can be used to support structural projects that have less impact on the environment.

This study involved a total budget analysis on the greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions of landfills, focusing on surface emissions and the effect on emissions reductions of generating landfill gas (LFG) electricity from March 7, 2007 to December 31, 2018. The GHGs reduction effect from the electricity generation using 536.6 × 10³ tCO₂ of CH₄ was only 5.8% of the GHGs from surface emissions of 9,191 × 10³ tCO₂. In the total budget, the collection ratio should be over 95% if the reduction effect is greater than the surface emissions. The correlation coefficient for the relationship between the LFG collection ratio and GHGs reduction was -0.89. An additional effect of lowering CH₄ content may occur if the surface emitting flux of LFG decreased with an increase in the collection ratio. The unit reduction effect of GHGs by suppressing surface emissions was 4174 tCO₂/TJ. This was far greater than that of LFG power generated (54.3 tCO₂/TJ), demonstrating that surface emission control is the most important measure by which to mitigate GHGs emission.
