    Carbon Cycling

    Carbon is the fourth most abundant element found on Earth, and is essential to all life as we know it. It is found in all living substances, and is essentially the key element for life. Because the carbon atom has the ability to form bonds with up to four other atoms, it can help form solid minerals (such “ limestone), ‘squishy’ organisms (such as plants and animals), and it can be dissolved in water. Carbon is also present in rocks, dissolved in rivers, lakes and oceans, and is in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. The exchange of carbon between these reservoirs is identified as the ‘carbon cycle’. The paths taken by carbon atoms in this cycle are known as ‘sinks’, and are extremely complex, as they may take millions of years to come full circle. In this essay I will demonstrate understanding on how carbon is added to, and removed from, the atmosphere and how it is stored. I will explore the main processes in the carbon cycle – photosynthesis, respiration, plants, animals, decomposition, oceans, fossil fuels, and volcanism – and how they interlink together to form a complete and full cycle.…

    Carbon Capture and Storage

    This research paper will briefly go over some of the designs that are being used and have been used throughout the history of carbon capture. To start, it is important to put in perspective what kind of money is spent on the capturing of carbon in a general sense. Another thing that is important to understand is a few of the main ways to capture carbon. Since the project definition is very specific, it is easy to find which types of capture will be used, and that will be explained later. We must also look at what to do with the captured CO2 and that is where the storage part of the process comes in. The last thing to go over is some of the state of the art designs that are paving the way for the future of carbon capture.…

    Carbon Tax

    In 2010, Labor Prime Minister Julia Gillard decided to implement carbon tax in order to gain more support in response to the change in climate (http://isen.northwestern.edu/doc/pdf/URG-ISEN_ALloyd.Jun12_ProjectSummary.pdf) and on the 8th of November 2011, the ‘Clean Energy Legislative Package’ is then passed by the Senate which sets out the way that Australia will introduce the carbon tax to reduce carbon pollution (http://www.deloitte.com/view/en_AU/au/services/assurance/accountingtechnical/whatsnewguides/9db3989542e0f210VgnVCM3000001c56f00aRCRD.htm). (http://www.ato.gov.au/businesses/content.aspx?doc=/content/00286486.htm). On 2 November 2011, the Minerals Resource Rent Tax (MRRT) legislation was introduced into Parliament by the government which will affect all new and existing iron ore and coal projects in Australia (http://www.ato.gov.au/businesses/content.aspx?doc=/content/00286486.htm). Therefore this essay will discuss about how the introduction of carbon price mechanism results in a number of financial reporting considerations (http://www.deloitte.com/view/en_AU/au/services/assurance/accountingtechnical/whatsnewguides/9db3989542e0f210VgnVCM3000001c56f00aRCRD.htm) and also how the MRRT will be imposing on profits from coal and iron ore mining projects on BHP. Therefore this essay will discuss about how the introduction of carbon price mechanism results in a number of financial reporting considerations on an Australian mining company, BHP Billiton. (http://www.deloitte.com/view/en_AU/au/services/assurance/accountingtechnical/whatsnewguides/9db3989542e0f210VgnVCM3000001c56f00aRCRD.htm.…

    The Carbon Cycle

    The Carbon Cycle

    The element Carbon is the principle block for the organic compounds that make up life. This is because the study of the Carbon Cycle draws upon theories from biology, chemistry, geology and oceanography in order to understand the movement of carbon throughout the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. Carbon is made up of four electrons that are able to form with each other; this causes the many different forms of carbon. The most popular form of carbon is carbon dioxide; this has become more popular over the years to the increase emissions of fossil fuels from human activities. This causes a problem because the increase in the burning of fossil fuels will lead to an increase of carbon in the atmosphere. With more carbon in the atmosphere it can alter the temperature, and environments on Earth. In this research paper the carbon cycle will be evaluated. The essential parts of the carbon cycle that will be analyzed are the steps in which the carbon cycle functions, the effects that human activities have on the carbon cycle, the inorganic and organic sources of the carbon cycle, the chemical reactions that occur during the cycle, and the short term and long terms storage at each source. It is important to evaluate all aspects of the carbon cycle because that information can be used to preserve and protect the carbon cycle as the way of life on Earth changes due to modernization and advancements in technology. The carbon cycle began hundreds of millions of years ago, but in the past the use of fossil fuels was not as prominent as it is in present day society. The increase of the use of fossil fuels can have an effect on the carbon cycle, which is why it is important to understand all aspects of the carbon cycle and what humans can do to protect it. The carbon cycle is an essential part of Earth’s ability to sustain life because it shows the system of producing and recycling carbon in Earth’s biosphere.…

    Carbon Finance in Africa and Strategies Employed by Google

    The market for trading allowances relating to the right to emit carbon dioxide or the Emissions Trading Market has expanded dramatically in the last few years and promises to continue to do so in the near future. It has an extremely high profile as it is intrinsically linked to worldwide efforts to address climate change. The key differences between the emissions market and the commodities markets are that it is a politically-generated and managed market and that the underlying is a dematerialized allowance certificate, as opposed to a physical commodity. Global warming is a high priority topic in any political index across the globe. Considerable efforts are being made in this direction, some of which include UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) - 1992, the Kyoto Protocol - 1997 and the Bonn Agreement - 2001. The New Oxford American Dictionary even chose ‘carbon neutral’ as word of the year for 2006. Many liken the practice of buying carbon credits to buying pardons from the Catholic Church in 16th century Europe. We believe that it is easier to assess our progress and achieve our goals if we attach a value to something. It was found that economists too think the same and they jumped at the opportunity to attach a monetary value to the environment issue at hand. The paper attempts to advise these nations so that they may design an innovative mechanism which enables them to benefit from their carbon offset potential and not just rely on the good will of other nations. The paper does a Case Study on Africa and its huge potential to take the initiative in designing such a market.…

    Carbon Credits to Control Emissions

    Carbon Credits to Control Emissions

    CARBON CREDITS The concept of carbon credits came into existence as a result of increasing awareness of the need for controlling emissions. The mechanism was formalized in the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement between more than 170 countries. The Protocol agreed has fixed quotas on the maximum amount of Greenhouse gases which can be emitted by the developed and developing countries. In turn these countries set quotas on the emissions of installations run by local business and other organizations. Burning of fossil fuels is a major source of industrial greenhouse gas emissions, especially for power, cement, steel, textile, fertilizer and many other industries which rely on fossil fuels (coal, electricity derived from coal, natural gas and oil). The major greenhouse gases emitted by these industries are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs) etc., all of which increase the atmosphere’s ability to trap infrared energy and thus affect the climate. Each such business has been fixed with specified number of units, otherwise called ‘allowance of credits’, upto which can emit carbon dioxide or other equivalent greenhouse gas. Operators that have not used up their quotas can sell their unused allowances as Carbon Credits, while businesses that are about to exceed their quotas can buy the extra allowances as credits, privately or on the open market. By permitting allowances to be bought and sold, an operator can seek out the most cost-effective way of reducing its emissions, either by investing in ‘cleaner’ machinery and practices or by purchasing emissions from another operator who already has excess ‘capacity’. Banks can use the opportunity for financing machinery for protecting emissions, or for green projects which get certificates for their projects and sell to the companies which exceed their quota of emission and are ready to buy the certificates.…

    Carbon Credits

    The Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation pays tribute to the memory of the second Secretary General of the UN by searching for and examining workable alternatives for a socially and economically just, ecologically sustainable, peaceful and secure world. In the spirit of Dag Hammarskjöld’s integrity, his readiness to challenge the dominant powers and his passionate plea for the sovereignty of small nations and their right to shape their own destiny, the Foundation seeks to examine mainstream understanding of development and bring to the debate alternative perspectives of often unheard voices. By making possible the meeting of minds, experiences and perspectives through the organising of seminars and dialogues, the Foundation plays a catalysing role in the identification of new issues and the formulation of new concepts, policy proposals, strategies and work plans towards solutions. The Foundation seeks to be at the cutting edge of the debates on development, security and environment, thereby continuously embarking on new themes in close collaboration with a wide and constantly expanding international network.…

    Carbon Footprints

    Until very recently, most people had never heard of a “carbon footprint.” Now, all of a sudden, the phrase is hard to avoid. In an age of slick slogans, fast fashions and fickle fads it’s easy to assume that this is just another quirky passing gimmick. But it could well be the most important concept of our time. A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted as a direct or indirect result of an activity (Yarrow, Joanna. How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint: 365).…

    Carbon Footprint

    The term “carbon footprint” refers to the amount of carbon dioxide we emit into the air every year. C02 is produced by many sources and is the gas responsible for Global warming and alarming changes in our climate. As we use our resources, the negative impact on our environment increases. The more C02 emitted in the air the more our ozone layer is affected. C02 is a natural gas and is always being emitted and absorbed to and from the air.…

    Carbon Credit

    Carbon Credits are gaining momentum not only around the world but also in India. The Concept of Carbon Credits evolved as a step to mitigate the rising Global Warming on earth. The emission of greenhouse gases by industries and anthropogenic activities has caused irreparable damage to the atmosphere leading to rising global temperature, affecting human life and causing Global Warming. The Concept of Carbon Credits was therefore evolved by way of an agreement by different countries of the world when they met at the third Conference of Parties (COP 3) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.…
