go beyond addressing global warming‚ they also need to take greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into account‚ since GHG’s pose a greater threat to society than that of global warming. Thus‚ the best policies will cut emissions and stabilize the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The best policies to address climate change revolve around four categories: economic action‚ innovation‚ performance standards‚ and innovation. The first three categories are mitigation efforts‚ while the last

Over the years many different studies have been done by different people and agencies showing how reducing air pollution from automobiles can only benefit the earth. The government has been one of the largest advocates of lowering emissions from automobiles. Because excessive exhaust emissions created

1. Standards to Evaluate goals: I have a lot of critical success factors to evaluate the Ford Motors goals and ensure that it gets accomplished. Some of standards are financial and others are non-financial and some of them are quantitative and others qualitative in nature. I have judged the performance goals with at least these three standards; 2.1 Profitability and Growth: Profitability is vital to success for Ford Motors. A profitable business pays interest to lenders‚ tax to authority

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For more than 20 years‚ Apple has been working on ways to minimize the impact to environment. As Apple reports‚ the products are manufactured‚ used‚ and recycled represents the largest percentage of Apple`s total greenhouse gas emissions. That is the reason why Apple has been designed and measured the performance in Product Environmental performance. Apple has developed its first environmental policy back in 1990‚ and put its mainly focus on energy efficient‚ reducing total use of

China’s major air pollutants: sulfur dioxide‚ soot‚ industrial dust and nitrogen oxides. In 2010‚ the total volume of industrial waste gas emissions was 47.52 trillion cubic meters which is 1.38 times that of 2003. Exhaust treatment industry is one of the pillars of China’s environmental protection industry; its market scale increased from CNY 18.5 billion in 2006 to CNY 38.7 billion in 2010

more stringent requirements on performance‚ fuel economy and emissions have led to increasingly complicated engine configurations. This paper is a study into the potential benefits of an EGR MAP optimization for low fuel consumption and lower mass emission. Introduction: The narrower environmental restrictions are the current challenge that Diesel engine manufacturers are facing in the last years. The demand on cleaner emissions (both for NOx and soot)‚ the fuel consumption reduction and the
