“Four energy systems analyses: cement, trade in air pollution deaths, super-polluting units, and the geophysical reliability of renewables” – Steve Davis – 30 January 2017
Date: 30 January 2017
Time: 12:00pm
Location: Baker 129 Conference Room
Speaker: Steve Davis
Topic: Four energy systems analyses: cement, trade in air pollution deaths, super-polluting units, and the geophysical reliability of renewables
Abstract:
Prof. Davis will present recent findings from four different projects related by their goal to quantify and reduce the environmental insults of the global energy system. These include carbon uptake by cement materials, transboundary mortality due to PM2.5 emissions, “super-polluting” generating units in the power sector, and the geophysical reliability of solar and wind power.
