Greenhouse gas emission associated with sugar production in southern Brazil
(2010-06-17)
Background: Since sugarcane areas have increased rapidly in Brazil, the contribution of the sugarcane production, and, especially, of the sugarcane harvest system to the greenhouse gas emissions of the country is an issue ...
Greenhouse gas balance due to the conversion of sugarcane areas from burned to green harvest in Brazil
(Elsevier B.V., 2011-04-01)
Strategies for the reduction of greenhouse gas emission in agriculture have been debated for some time, especially in Brazil, where the agricultural sector is an important contributor to the national emission balance. The ...
Impact of the intensification of beef production in Brazil on greenhouse gas emissions and land use
(2016-03-01)
Brazil has the largest herd of beef cattle in the world, estimated at approximately 200 million animals. Production is predominantly pasture-based and low input and hence time to slaughter is long, which promotes high ...
Operation of a National Electricity Network to minimize Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Cost
(Elsevier Science, 2012-06)
A methodology to select the generation plants connected to the Argentinean electricity network and their operating loads is presented, minimizing life cycle greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and operating cost. Mixed integer ...
Pre-harvest sugarcane burning: Determination of emission factors through laboratory measurements
(2012-12-01)
Sugarcane is an important crop for the Brazilian economy and roughly 50% of its production is used to produce ethanol. However, the common practice of pre-harvest burning of sugarcane straw emits particulate material, ...
Historical carbon budget of the brazilian ethanol program
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2009)
This work models the carbon neutralization capacity of Brazil`s ethanol program since 1975. In addition to biofuel, we also assessed the mitigation potential of other energy products, such as, bioelectricity, and CO(2) ...
A comparison of commercial ethanol production systems from Brazilian sugarcane and US corn
(Wiley-blackwellHobokenEUA, 2014)
Greenhouse gas emissions from Waste Sector in Argentina in a business as usual and mitigation scenarios
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-05)
The objective of the work was the application of 2006 IPCC Guidelines for the estimation of methane and nitrous oxide emissions from the waste sector in Argentina as a preliminary exercise for GHG inventory development and ...
