carbon Monoxide Hazards from Small Gasoline Powered Engines: Many people using gasoline-powered tools such as high-pressure washers, concrete cutting saws, power trowels, floor buffers, welders, pumps, compressors, and generators in buildings or semien closed spaces have been poisoned by carbon monoxide CO. It is not widely known that small gasoline-powered engines and tools present a serious health hazard....; Tags: PRODUCTIVITY, gasoline, tool, health care, agency; White papers
What Is carbon Credit?: C02 emissions trading can help lower the environmental cost of doing business – if you know how to navigate the booming $60 billion market. How It Works Emissions limits and trading rules vary country by country, so...; Tags: Jessica Stillman, carbon, renewable energy, greenhouse gas, U.S., government, compliance, theory, agreement, strategy, environment, tool, industry; Articles 2008-02-05

What Is carbon Credit?: What Is Carbon Credit?Title is MisleadingI think the title misrepresents offsets. Offsets are not an indulgence to reduce or deflect your guilt. If they are used to "clear your carbon conscience", they are used inappropriatelyRather they should be incorporated as part of an organization's overall emission reduction strategy. The emphasis...; Tags: Carbon Credit, carbon; Discussion threads 2008-02-07
Bank of America Redefines Green Money: Twenty billion dollars -- that's how serious Bank of America is about its new environmental initiative. In a press release, the chief executive of America's largest bank, Kenneth Lewis, said he sees "a tremendous opportunity to support our customers' efforts to build an environmentally sustainable economy," and the company is...; Tags: Financial services, Financial accounting, Andrew Hines, bank, carbon, Bank of America Corp.; Blog posts 2007-03-27
Methods for Measuring and Monitoring Forestry carbon Projects in California: This paper presents the California's Forestry Carbon project management. California's forest management activities offer an opportunity to sequester atmospheric carbon that constitutes a portion of the State's greenhouse gas GHG contribution. However, to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of various forest management activities-as well as to support carbon trading ventures...; Tags: California Energy Commission, carbon, monitoring, California, greenhouse gas; White papers 2004-03-01
Challenges in Energy and Environment Modelling: A Materials Perspective: This paper discusses the IEA ETP model and the challenges that are encountered in energy and materials modeling. A case study on carbon leakage is discussed in order to illustrate these challenges. The preliminary results suggest that industrial CO2 emission mitigation policies are complicated by carbon leakage. However, this leakage...; Tags: carbon, carbon dioxide, modeling, environment; White papers 2003-11-01
carbon and Energy Balances for a Range of Biofuels Options: This paper provides details on the project entitled "Carbon and Energy Balances for a Range of Biofuels Options". This paper is set within the context of the establishment and emergence of a variety of biofuel technologies which use biomass to provide commercial sources of energy whilst offering significant potential benefits,...; Tags: carbon, biofuel, greenhouse gas, fossil fuel, benefit; White papers 2003-04-19
The Army Leadership Framework: Just as the diamond requires three properties for its formation—carbon, heat, and pressure—successful leaders require the interaction of three properties—character, knowledge, and application. Like carbon to the diamond, character is the basic quality of the leader. But as carbon alone does not create a diamond, neither can character alone create...; Tags: diamond, carbon, leader, knowledge, leadership; White papers 2003-01-01
Molecular Electronics With carbon Nanotubes: Carbon nano-tubes have unique properties that make them a most promising system on which to base molecular electronics. The paper briefly reviews the electrical characteristics of carbon nano-tubes, and then focuses on carbon nano-tube field-effect transistors CNTFETs. Procedures by which hole-transport, electron-transport and ambipolar CNTFETs can be fabricated are presented,...; Tags: American Chemical Society, carbon, carbon nanotube, electronics, nanotube, transistor; White papers 2002-01-30
carbon and Energy Modelling of Biomass Systems: Conversion Plant and Data Updates: This paper contributes to the evaluation of carbon and energy budgets of the production and use of biomass as a fuel. In particular, the work consisted of updating the energy and carbon requirements of important materials used in the production, transport and storage of biomass fuels, and the energy and...; Tags: carbon, analysis, storage; White papers 2001-11-01
Consumer Knowledge of the Hazards of carbon Monoxide Poisoning and Faulty Domestic Heating Systems: This paper contains the findings from research conducted by MORI on behalf of the Department of Trade & Industry DTI.
