Multi-Scale Mapping of Energy Consumption Carbon Emission Spatiotemporal Characteristics: A Case Study of the Yangtze River Delta Region by Kangjuan Lv, Qiming Wang, Xunpeng Shi, Li Huang, Yatian Liu

“…This study uses integrated remote-sensing data to estimate carbon emissions from fossil fuels (CEFs). Experimental results indicate (1) that the regional CEF can be calculated by combining NTL and Landuse data and has a good fit; (2) the high-intensity CEF area is mainly concentrated in Shanghai and its surrounding areas, showing a concentric circle structure; (3) there are obvious differences in the spatial distribution characteristics of carbon emissions among different departments; (4) hot spot analysis reveals a three-tiered distribution in the Yangtze River Delta, increasing from the west to the east with distinct spatial characteristics.…”

Cutting-edge technologies: Biofuel innovations in marine propulsion systems to lower black carbon emissions by Sivasubramanian Manikandan, Sundaram Vickram, Yuvarajan Devarajan

“…For example, a marine trial using 50:50 HVO-diesel demonstrated up to a 60 % reduction in BC emissions compared with fossil fuels but maintained engine performance. Qualitatively, enhanced combustion properties due to the relatively high cetane number and low aromatic content in biofuels compared with those of petroleum fuels result in lower soot emissions when burning biofuels. …”
