The laws meant that the Bowen plant of the Southern Company had to reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide released during the production of electricity. Prior to the enactment of the laws, Bowen’s sulphur dioxide emissions amounted to thirty tons an hour (Reinhardt 2). This amount translated to an annual emission of 262800 tons assuming 8760 hours in a year. Between 1995 and 2000 during the first phase of the implementation of the laws, the plant would only be allowed annual emissions of 254,580 tons of sulphur dioxide. This translates to hourly emissions of 29.06 tons (Reinhardt ...

Accounting Standard Setting under the Australian Conceptual Framework and Application in Business Practices

Introduction A conceptual framework establishes the concepts and provides the guidelines that underlie financial reporting. As a coherent system of notions that flow from an objective, which in turn serve to identify the purpose of financial reporting, a conceptual framework also provides guidance on the identification of the boundaries of financial reporting. Its concepts further provide guidance on the selection of transactions, related events, and circumstances to be presented, and how such elements should be summarized and ultimately reported (Financial Accounting Standards Board [FASB], 2008). One such conceptual ...

Energy has played an important role in building the world economy today. From enabling man to perform daily activities to enhancing the functioning of many industries, it is sensible to state that energy is of great importance to the world. Due to its importance, fossil fuels such as coal have thus been burnt down to create energy. However, different negative effects are associated with burning such fuels to the environment. For instance, global warming gasses are emitted thus, causing global warming as a result of carbon monoxide, which is emitted while burning coal. Despite their disparities, both developed and ...

Introduction

Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) is a group of technologies that received recognition in 21 century. CCS process consists of collection and concentration of CO2 emitted from combustion of fossil fuels with further transportation to special storage locations. The reason for storing carbon dioxide away is related Greenhouse effect and its influence on global warming process. The main goal of carbon capture technologies is to stabilize the levels of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. It is expected that implementation of CCS technologies will make it possible to reduce the total emission of CO2 up to 54% (to 450 ppmv). ( ...

Abstract

Carbon capture is an essential approach for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Different plants utilize various technologies in reducing carbon dioxide emission. Some of the conventional techniques employed include oxy-fuel, pre, and post-combustion carbon capture. These approaches have a high potential for capturing carbon dioxide. However, their massive initial and implementation costs have been a challenge to plants globally. Additionally, most of them are yet to experience large scale applications. Therefore, it is essential for research and development activities to be conducted. This can ensure a reduction in the cost of production. The carbon capture technologies differ in costs. This ...

Introduction

Coal is a very cheap and abundant provision of energ. In fact, it is the most abundant fuel in the United States; U.S. has the highest coal reserve in the world, with up to 25% of the known world coal present in America and being mined in 26 out of the U.S. 50 states (fe.doe.gov, 2013). However, this abundant energy is seldom used because it is a very dirty energy. According to Hong & Slatick (1994), up to 204.3 pounds of carbon dioxide per million Btu is emitted when coal having 78% carbon content is completely burned to attain a ...

Abstract

The concentration of carbon dioxide has been abnormally increasing over the years. In the year 2016, its concentration exceeded the limitations, and has been considered as a dangerous situation. As a response to the increasing carbon dioxide content in the Earth’s atmosphere, different processes are being suggested in order to lower the concentration. Carbon Capture and Storage, or CCS, is one of these processes. Generally, there are three different phases of this process: the pre-combustion, the oxyfuel, and the post-combustion. These three phases have different processes in which the carbon dioxide content is being separated from the other ...

Recent Developments in World Trade

Need for Export Markets According to Prime Minister Ferry, industrial France needs outlets or markets to export their products and colonies provide the most effective market for selling French goods. Major French industries such as textiles need more outlets for economic growth. Neighboring countries such as Germany had started to implement trade barriers and the United States had implemented protectionist policies, further increasing the need for new markets for French goods. In addition, the industrialized nations had started to push their products into the French markets. Overall, the markets for French goods were shrinking, both and abroad and colonies ...

Many coal firms have been closing down as the global demand for the ‘black diamond’ has fallen considerably. The supply is higher than the demand, leading to continuous fall in price. The price of the output is inadequate to cover the cost of production. This means that the firms are not able to meet the marginal costs. The fall in demand for coal is attributed to the changing environmental regulations on pollution (Springfield, 1). The conservative economic views require the government to empower the people so that they can solve their problem. Therefore, it is possible to take care ...

The first proposals of the European integration have been made at the Paris Conference in 1867. However, the practical realization of the idea of integration was not accomplished: the contradictions between the two countries were so deep that the awareness of the need to cooperate in the union went through two world wars and several local wars. Integration trends in Europe re-emerged immediately after the Second World War, when major European countries have realized that the restoration and development of national economies is the only possible way combining efforts and resources. Plan for the creation of the European Community ...

Introduction

As the need for energy conservation and preservation of the environment becomes more popular, many countries and firms are now utilizing renewable energy in order to generate power. Renewable energy, also known as green energy, is defined as the energy that comes from natural resources which can be replenished constantly, such as sunlight, tides, wind, biomass, and geothermal heat. Because the sources of this energy can be constantly renewed, it can be said that this type of energy cannot be exhausted completely (Ciolkosz).

Why Use Renewable Energy Sources?

There are many advantages in using renewable energy. First off, renewable energy is environmentally sustainable. Unlike ...

The Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 18th century, spreading all across Europe before it finally reached North America and Canada at a later date. The late arrival of the revolution to the colonies was, at least in part, due to the distance between them and the countries of Europe. We can, however, also demonstrably say that the slowness of the revolution in Canada at least was due to the sheer distances involved in the colonies themselves. This paper will examine the industrial revolution in Canada, moving from general terms to specific ones, in order to show ...

The industrial revolution changed the face of American society in a multitude of ways, not least of which was the role of the government in the relationship between businesses and workers. The emancipation of slaves in the aftermath of the Civil War irrevocably altered the way aspects of the economy operated—especially that of the Southern states and of the agricultural sector. From that point clear through to the present, the relationship between employer and employee has been in constant question and flux, with labor unions and government regulations having significant impacts on the overall state of workers’ rights ...

Coal Creek war was the war that took place in Coal Creek, a mining town in Tennessee. The town was found in the second half of the 19th century especially for people employed at the local coal mines. The war took place in 1891-1892 and was actually an opposition of free miners to the convict lease system implemented by the state. These people considered themselves law-abiding citizens possessing the right to work and honestly earn their living, while convicts brought to the mines were seen as those stealing bread from free miners (“The Coal Creek War” 1). The miners ...

The issue of the pollution of the environment has been an issue that has always been addressed in different forums. This is mainly due to the fact that the continuous pollution makes the world less inhabitable for man. Pollution may be on different components of the earth; from water, to air to the ground itself.

Is Climate Change Caused by Human Action

Introduction Are humans responsible for climate change? While it is evident that climate change is a result of different factors which when combined produce a hazardous effect, human action is considered to be the main cause of global warming. Numerous studies show that various human activities produce gas that traps heat which results in most of the increase in globally averaged temperatures. Clearly, atmospheric warming and cooling did not begin with people. It used to occur long before the rise of humankind through natural activities, such as volcanic eruptions, changes in the sun’s intensity and the already existing ...

Fossil fuels refer to those sources of energies which are underneath the earth surface as a result of the decomposition of the dead plant and animal remains.
