Geospatial assessment of the carbon footprint of water and electricity consumption in residential buildings in Doha, Qatar

Journal of Cleaner Production, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 445, P. 141262 - 141262

Published: Feb. 16, 2024

The process of estimating the carbon footprint (CF) has become a key method for managing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, guiding strategies emission reduction and validating those strategies. Given complexity quantifying total lifecycle emissions in residential buildings, this study delves into assessing CF focusing on water electricity consumption two types buildings: mainly villas flats. This assessment was carried out Doha City, Qatar, using data from 2017 to 2020. employs Multi-Regional Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment (MRIO-LCA) model calculate convert these buildings. Further, various methods statistical spatial analysis including geographically weighted regression (GWR), Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), hotspot cold spot assessments. annual buildings are approximately 7 MtCO2 equivalent, with contributing about 83% total. Concurrently, average is around 0.06 predominantly attributed villas. findings highlight substantial impact structures, particularly villas, city's overall emissions. Furthermore, underscore significant especially Doha's revealing marked seasonal increase, during summer months notable spike reveals consistent clustering patterns across different seasons Elevated concentrated central, northern, northeastern regions, while spots eastern southern areas. Understanding settings crucial developing reduce enhance energy efficiency, address climate change. research helps inform targeted interventions more sustainable use, aligning broader environmental goals.

Considerations for estimating operational greenhouse gas emissions in whole building life-cycle assessments

Building and Environment, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 254, P. 111383 - 111383

Published: March 11, 2024

Building operations, which include the energy from electricity and natural gas account for about 28% of global greenhouse (GHG) emissions. Stakeholders need accurate assessments building operations in whole life-cycle (WBLCA), at both individual stock-level, to inform mitigation strategy selection, policy development, progress tracking sector GHG emission targets. This review provides an overview estimation methods (measured, modeling, representative empirical modeled databases) factors (average versus marginal, regional utility, direct combustion values) estimating operational emissions WBLCAs. An investigation most commonly used approaches WBLCAs, especially context emerging considerations including grid decarbonization, non-constant supply loads, embodied trade-off decisions, reveals that there is no standard practice justifying method or dataset selection. While many datasets tools discussed this study are developed United States, overarching quantifying use applicable audiences. Based upon literature survey utility each factor dataset, we identify recommended WBLCAs under various goals establishing benchmarks, choosing strategies, implementing on-site renewable generation, forecasting reductions sector.

The status and potential of regional integrated energy systems in sub-Saharan Africa: An Investigation of the feasibility and implications for sustainable energy development

Energy Strategy Reviews, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 53, P. 101402 - 101402

Published: May 1, 2024

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is experiencing rapid economic growth and rising demand for energy, accompanied by significant low energy access sustainability challenges. Globally, to address similar issues unlock a region's potential, regional integrated systems have gained traction, initiatives such as establishing power pools electricity markets, cross-border exchanges, integrating renewable resources are being promoted. This paper describes the status of in Africa. We analyze achieved through effective strategies policies that support developed developing regions (the United Kingdom China). Our findings show challenges, including limited financing, regulatory barriers, lack planning model, inadequate supporting policies, fragmented institutional frameworks, hinder widespread deployment systems. Taking lessons from case studies, addressing SSA's challenges requires concerted efforts governments, international organizations, private sector create enabling policy environments, mobilize investments, build technical capacity infrastructures. Regional can enhance security diversifying sources, fostering development, stimulating trade. In Kingdom, implementation has contributed 25% reduction carbon emissions 15% increase efficiency over past decade. Similarly, China, integration sources into led 30% 20% decrease coal consumption since 2010.

Direct Air Capture (DAC) for Achieving Net-Zero CO2 Emissions: Advances, Applications, and Challenges

Eng—Advances in Engineering, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 5(3), P. 1298 - 1336

Published: July 4, 2024

Carbon dioxide (CO2), as the primary greenhouse gas, has significant impacts on global climate change, leading to severe and irreversible adverse consequences for ecosystems human environments. To address issue of excessive CO2 emissions, efforts in recent years have yielded progress development clean energy sources promotion carbon capture, utilization, storage (CCUS) technologies. Conventional capture techniques are limited addressing atmospheric excess effectively, they target only high-concentration emissions require implementation at specific emission points. Direct air (DAC) technology emerged a promising solution due its flexibility deployment, avoidance land competition, ability legacy emissions. Additionally, DAC offers opportunities producing synthetic fuels, thereby reducing reliance traditional fossil fuels aiding gas This study provides comprehensive review technology, encompassing principles, technological advancements, real-world applications, challenges, future research directions.
