“…Models used for decomposition of factors affecting energy-related carbon emissions by scholars from China and abroad varies in form due to the different focus in their research [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. The LMDI (Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index) method is widely used in decomposition of factors affecting energy-related carbon emission for that it can satisfy the requirement of factor reversible and the residual item eliminated, which makes the model more convincing [42].…”

Abstract:Guangdong is China's largest province in terms of energy consumption. The energy-related carbon emissions in Guangdong province are calculated, and two extended and improved decomposition models for energy-related carbon emissions are established with the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index method based on the basic principle of Kaya identity. Main results are as follows: (1) the energy-related carbon emissions from the three strata of industry, except the primary industry, and household energy consumption in Guangdong province show increasing trend from 1995 to 2009; (2) the main driving and inhibiting factors which influence energy-related carbon emissions are economic output and energy intensity, respectively, while the contributions of energy mix, industrial structures, population size and living standards are not significant during the period of interest. It is concluded that optimizing the energy mix by exploiting new energy sources and cutting down energy intensity by developing low-carbon technologies are the two most effective approaches to reduce carbon emissions for Guangdong province in the future. The results and proposals in this paper provided reference for relevant administrative departments in the Government of Guangdong province to develop policies for energy conservation and emission reduction as well as to promote development of low-carbon economy.

“…Meanwhile, there is little research on the carbon emissions of the power industry in China, and the time span of selected samples in existing studies is relatively short. Malla [29] utilized LMDI to identify the driving factors of carbon emissions in the power industry for seven countries. Zhang et al [30] first adopted LMDI to analyze the influencing factors of China's CO 2 from power generation during 1991 to 2009.…”

Abstract-This paper investigates the economic and environmental effects of supplying Abu Dhabi with desalinated ballast water brought in by exporting oil tankers and liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels on their return route from oil and natural gas trade. Traditionally, ballast water is discharged into the ocean which leads to a negative impact on marine environments. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has developed regulations that prohibit the discharge of untreated ballast water in order to prevent these negative environmental effects. An efficient way of meeting IMO requirements would be to desalinate the ballast water and supply it domestically to local residents for consumption. In this paper, we illustrate two models. The first is a cost benefit analysis model that examines the economics of desalinating ballast water using oil tanker/LNG carrier engine waste heat under different domestic water demand scenarios. In addition to environmental benefits, results show that ballast water trading can generate cost savings of between $771.5 million and $602.0 million from 2012 to 2030, depending on realized domestic water demand. The second model presents a computable general equilibrium (CGE) analysis, performed to identify GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and inter-sector production changes. An environmental analysis is built into this model to understand the impact on climate change. Flexible price and fixed price policy emissions increase under both flexible price and fixed price policy scenarios, and that implementation of a flexible price policy has more of an impact on the growth of GDP and CO 2 emissions than implementation of a fixed price policy.Index Terms-Ballast water management, desalination, environmental analysis, computational general equilibrium model. I. INTRODUCTIONAbu Dhabi relies heavily on desalination of seawater due to the emirate's lack of freshwater resources. An economic boom over the past decade has resulted in substantial growth in the demand for fresh water. There are currently eight onshore desalination plants in the emirate with additional plants in the works. Desalination plants are expensive to build and operate and produce negative environmental effects. The emirate is currently seeking a sustainable approach to meeting this growing freshwater demand. Implementation of a ballast water desalination program can make a cost effective contribution to the supply of freshwater in the emirate while mitigating the harmful environmental effects of existing ballast water treatment practices on the local marine environment.Abu Dhabi is the largest emirate in the UAE and one of the world's major oil exporting economies. The emirate exported 2.3 million barrels of oil per day (bpd) in 2009. It also has the world's fifth largest gas reserves. Oil from the emirate is exported primarily from the port of Fujairah [1]. Approximately 93% of the gas exported from Abu Dhabi goes to Japan via liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers under long term contracts [2]. Robust oil and gas exporting activ...
