CO2 Ratio and Cities climatic change

Cities and CO2 emissions: key facts Cities account for 75% of totalglobal energy demand andproduce 80% of our CO2emissions driving climatechange.• Half the global population 3
lives in cities: three-quartersof the human population to 0become city dwellers by 2050.
5-step approach:• Assessing baseline (existing) CO2 emissions from all energyrelatedsectors in cities.• Establishing ambitious (and realistic) citywide CO2 emissionreduction targets.• Identifying robust actions to achieve those targets.• Developing incentives and programmes for implementing theactions.• Monitoring and verifying the reductions achieved as a result:sharing experiences.
Total CO2 emissions on different sectors, roads transport(19.2%), Domestic (30.4%). Land Use Change (0.2%). Industry and Commercial(50.3%), total amount of CO2 emissions=

Sudan country :Sudan has undertaken, as of 1996, the task of compiling its first inventory of greenhouse gases. These activities, taking place within the Climate Change Enabling Project, will not only create a GHG profile of Sudan, for use in the larger global framework, but will prepare Sudan for compliance with its obligation under the UNFCCC, and assist the nation in formulating climate sensitive development goals and informed mitigation and adaptation policies. To comply with the requirements of the UNFCCC, the national inventory of GHG in Sudan was conducted using the standardized IPCC/OECD methodology. Following this methodology, GHG emissions have been calculated for most of the source/sink categories identified in the different sectors, namely energy, industry, agriculture, waste management, and land-use change and forestry.A team of national experts was formed under the Climate Change Enabling Project in the Higher Council for Environment and Natural Resources, to compile the greenhouse gases inventory for Sudan. The team members were drawn largely from those sectors identified as sources and sinks for GHGs, including the Ministries of Energy, Industry, and Agriculture and Animal Resources, the Forests National Corporation, as well as research and climate change-related bodies such as the Environmental Studies Institute, the Meteorological Authority, NGOs, and the private sector.

The Environmental Impact Of Gaseous By- Products and Pollutants in Waste Water At Khartoum Refinery.

Abstract

Sudan has become one of the oil producing countries since 2000 . Petroleum as an energy source represents 16 % of the energy balance of the country. The processes of prospecting, transportation, refining and utilization of petroleum may have serious negative impacts on the environment. This study focuses on the determination of the nature and concentration of the main gases ensuing during the process of oil refining, as well as the determination of pollutants in waste water at Khartoum Refinery. Also, investigation into means and ways adopted by the Refinery to reduce the negative impact of those pollutants on the environment are reviewed. The gaseous by- products analyzed include SO2, NOX and CO. The waste water pollutants analyzed include the pH, oil and grease , sulphides, phenols, nitrogen and ammonia , the total suspended solids (TSS) , the biological oxygen demand (BOD),and the chemical oxygen demand (COD). It is found that the analytical results of the gaseous by –products are compatible with the Chinese, Global Bank Guide and The Sudanese Standards. The results of the analyses of the pollutants in the outlet waste water after treatment are compatible with the Chinese and Sudanese Standards as regards oil and grease ;phenols; nitrogen and ammonia; the total suspended solids ; the biological oxygen demand and the sulphide .This demonstrates the effectiveness of the treatment methods adopted by the Refinery in dealing with the above –mentioned gaseous by-products and water pollutants . However, the methods adopted in controlling the pH and the chemical oxygen demand needs revising.
Some recommendations are proposed in order to curb the impact of this industry on the environment.

الخلاصة

فى العام 2000م ﺃصبح السودان في عداد الدول المنتجة للبترول , حيث يمثل فيه البترول 16 % من ميزان الطاقة. إن صناعة البترول في كل مراحلها من ,الإستكشاف, الإستخراج ,الترحيل ,التكرير, والتصدير وحتى الاستخدام قد يكون لها آثار ضارة على البيئة وصحة الانسان .
هذه الدراسة ركزت على تحديد طبيعة وتركيز الغازات الناتجة والمنبعثة وكذلك تحديد الملوثات فى فضلات المياه الناتجة من عملية تكرير البترول بمصفاة الخرطوم.هذا بالإضافة الى التعرف علىالطرق المتبعة فى المصفاة لتقليل الآثار السالبة لهذه الملوثات على البيئة .
الغازات الناتجة التى حللت شملت . SO2, NOX, CO أما الملوثات التى حللت فى فضلات المياه بعد معالجتها شملت الرقم الهيدروجينى (pH) , الشحوم والزيوت , الكبريت ، الفينول , النيتروجين والأمونيا , المواد العالقة الصلبة الكلية ( (TSS , الحاجة البايوكيميائية للأكسجين ( BOD), الحاجة الكيميائية للأكسجين (COD).
كانت نتيجة التحاليل بالنسبة للغازات الناتجة أنها متلائمة مع المقاييس الصينية و السودانية و البنك الدولى للغازات الناتجة من عملية تكرير البترول.كذلك نتيجة التحاليل للملوثات الموجودة فى فضلات المياه الخارجة بعد المعالجة فإنها متلائمة مع المقاييس الصينية والسودانية لفضلات المياه الناتجة من عملية تكرير البترول بالنسبة للشحوم والزيوت ، الفينول , النيتروجين والأمونيا , المواد العالقة الصلبة الكلية ( (TSS , الحاجة البايوكيميائية للأكسجين ( BOD) ,والكبريت.وهذا يدل على فعالية المعالجات المتبعة من قبل إدارة المصفاة لتنقية الملوثات سابقة الذكر من الغا زات و فضلات المياه .
أما المعالجات المتبعة للتحكم فى الرقم الهيدروجينى( pH) و الحاجة الكيميائية للأكسجين (COD) فانها تحتاج الى مراجعة نسبة لعدم فعاليتها فى الوصول الى التركيز المناسب.
الدراسة شملت جملة من التوصيات من اجل الحد من الآثار السالبة لهذه الصناعة على البيئة.

The paint contains a 100% acrylic resin which, according to the company, will meet the Master Painter Institute’s Green Performance standard as well as Green Seal’s 2009 GS-11 standard covering chemical content and paint performance. More information is available at www.benjaminmoore.com.




Pl.6.5: PolyWhey from Vermont Natural Coatings

PolyWhey from Vermont Natural Coatings is a waterborne wood finish that uses recycled whey protein, a by-product of the dairy industry, as a binder. These LEED-qualifying, low-odor coatings contain no toxic heavy metals and have a VOC level less than 180 g/L. For more information, see www.vermontnaturalcoatings.com or EBN Vol. 17, No. 6.


Pl.6.6:. Ecotextiles are made from 100% organic cotton or other sustainably grown fibers.
Ecotextiles are made from 100% organic cotton or other sustainably grown fibers, including hemp, flax (linen), abaca, ramie, silk, and bamboo. Fabrics are third-party certified to meet the Oeko Tex Standard 100, with some fabrics also certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard. For more information, see www.oecotextiles.com or EBN Vol. 17, No. 12.


Pl.6.7 : Matrix Total Home System
The Matrix Total Home System from NTI is an integrated appliance that combines a gas-fired condensing boiler and furnace, condensing demand water heater, and heat-recovery ventilator into a single unit, and it is pre-configured for air conditioning. According to the company, the system can reduce gas consumption by 30% compared with a conventional system, providing an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) of 94 for forced-air and 92.7 for hydronic heating, and an energy factor of 0.85 for water heating. For more information, see www.nythermal.com.

Pl.6.8: Matrix Total Home System
The SunCache integral-collector-storage (ICS) solar water heater uses a roof-mounted, water-filled, unpressurized, polyethylene panel and copper heat exchanger to preheat water for domestic use. The relatively inexpensive SunCache captures heat in 50 gallons (190 l) of non-circulating water stored in a rooftop panel. When a hot-water tap is turned on, cold water from the supply line flows through the copper heat exchanger embedded in the panel, extracting heat from the stored water. More information is available at www.harpiris.com.


Pl.6.8: Agilewaves Resource Monitor
Agilewaves Resource Monitor provides residential and commercial building owners with real-time data on electricity, gas, and water consumption. This system can be accessed via the Internet, displaying data from various systems in a building. For more information, see www.agilewaves.com or EBN Vol. 17, No. 12.


Pl.6.9 : The Rainwater H2OG is a modular rainwater storage tank
The Rainwater H2OG is a modular rainwater storage tank for use in tight spaces such as under decks, against houses, or even within walls. Two versions are available: a potable water tank made from virgin food-grade polyethylene and a non-food-grade tank made with 15% recycled content. Each module holds 50 gallons (190 l) of water that can be used for gardening, irrigation, toilets, laundry, or (with the food-grade tank and after proper filtration) potable water.
