Abstract

"This study examines the factors responsible for the growth of transport sector carbon dioxide emissions in 20 Latin American and Caribbean countries during 1980-2005 by decomposing the emissions growth into components associated with changes in fuel mix, modal shift, and economic growth, as well as changes in emission coefficients and transportation energy intensity. The key finding of the study is that economic growth and the changes in transportation energy intensity are the main factors driving transport sector carbon dioxide emissions growth in the countries considered. The results imply that fiscal policy instruments - such as subsidies to clean fuels and clean vehicles - would be more effective in reducing emissions in countries where the economic activity effect is the primary driver for transport sector carbon dioxide emissions growth. By contrast, regulatory policy instruments - such as vehicle efficiency standards and vehicle occupancy standards - would be more effective in countries where the transportation energy intensity effect is the main driver of carbon dioxide emissions growth. Both fiscal and regulatory policy instruments would be useful in countries where both economic activity and transportation energy intensity effects are responsible for driving transport sector carbon dioxide emissions growth.

Abstract

Du delta du Nil aux cercles polaires, le constat est effrayant : la Terre se réchauffe dans des proportions qui nous mènent aujourd'hui au seuil de la catastrophe. Le concept d'Anthropocène, s'il a le mérite de nommer le problème, peine à identifier les coupables et s'empêtre dans le récit millénaire d'une humanité pyromane. Or si l'on veut comprendre le réchauffement climatique, ce ne sont pas les archives de « l'espèce humaine » qu'il faut sonder mais celles de l'Empire britannique, pour commencer. On y apprend par exemple que dans les années 1830 la vapeur était, aux mains des capitalistes anglais, un outil redoutable pour discipliner la force de travail et une arme de guerre impérialiste ; on y suit la progression fulgurante de la machine mise au point par James Watt qui supplante en quelques années la force hydraulique – pourtant abondante et moins chère – dans l'industrie textile anglaise. En puisant dans les sources de l'histoire sociale, ce livre raconte l'avènement du « capital fossile », ou comment la combustion ininterrompue de charbon a permis de repousser les limites de l'exploitation et du profit. Il faut couper la mèche qui brûle avant que l'étincelle n'atteigne la dynamite, écrivait Walter Benjamin dans un fragment célèbre, « Avertisseur d'incendie », où il insistait sur la nécessité d'en finir avec le capitalisme avant qu'il ne s'autodétruise et emporte tout avec lui. Pour Andreas Malm, on ne peut pas mieux dire l'urgence contemporaine de défaire l'économie fossile par des mesures révolutionnaires.

Abstract

An efficient waste management for emerging photovoltaic (PV) technologies is not mature yet. The problematic aspects along with the possible failure's identification have a pivotal role in modelling the future end-of-life management strategies. The identification of substances of concern (e.g. high cost, low availability, and high toxicity) and valuable materials is a key point to better define the research priorities to improve the eco-design of these technologies. The ultimate goal is to promote the disposal processes which enhance the repair, refurbishment, and recover opportunities and so the profitability of recycling. These studies can also prompt the investigation of innovative materials which are more cost-effective and/or coming from renewable resources or secondary raw materials. Forecasting the waste management technologies for the emerging photovoltaics is highly challenging. In this context, our purpose is to provide an overview of the critical elements and understand the appropriate corrective improvements towards more sustainable technologies.
