  • Trade and climate change: issues in perspective

    Publication date
    Objective
    Mitigation

    The government of Denmark convened a seminar on trade and climate change. This report is a record of the discussions and analysis that took place there. Trade is an important channel for the diffusion of goods to mitigate climate changes. Trade liberalisation can also lower the costs of environmental goods (EGs). The Doha mandate calls for a reduction or elimination of tariffs and non-tariff barriers on EGs. However, the report wonders whether EG liberalisation can address climate mitigation efforts in a broader sustainable development context.

  • Solid Waste NAMA for Peru

    A Solid Waste NAMA is under development in Peru. The two year programme (2013 to 2015) is supported by the Nordic Working Group for Global Climate Negotiations (NOAK) and the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO). It is implemented and coordinated by the Peruvian Ministry of Environment (MINAM).

  • Robust Decoupled P-Q Controller for Doubly Fed Induction Generator

    Objective
    Mitigation

    Researchers at McGill University have developed a novel controller for Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIG) which are widely used in wind turbines. This controller allows for a robust decoupled sensorless control. This approach will enable continually optimal performance of the DFIG without the need for the operator to update the parameters of the unit. This approach can be easily implemented with DSPs and FGPAs and may also be applied to motor controls. Applications: As world energy consumption grows nations are faced with difficult and costly decisions to satisfy its needs.

  • Catalysts For The Reduction Of Carbon Dioxide To Methanol

    Technology
    Plastics

    Stanford and Technical University of Denmark researchers have discovered and tested a Ni-Ga catalyst that reduces CO2 to methanol at ambient pressure. A series of leads for new alloy catalysts were established on the basis of a computational descriptor-based approach. A very active candidate Ni-Ga was synthesized and catalytic testing showed it to have similar performance as the industrial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst with considerably less production of CO. This may be the first step towards the industrial development of clean low cost low-pressure devices for CO2 reduction to methanol.

    The outreach event is an open session and cocktail reception to learn what climate knowledge brokers are doing to connect up climate knowledge, and discuss how your organisation can benefit and ‘plug in’ to the ‘climate knowledge grid’. It is organized by the CKB Group jointly with CTCN, CDKN and REEEP.

    Guests are welcome to come for the whole event participication is free.
