Greenhouse effect: A first estimation of the emissions in Italy; I gas a effetto serra: Una prima valutazione delle emissioni in Italia

Abstract

The estimate of the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and the selection of the relevant emission factors represents a preliminary condition to define policies aiming at curbing these emissions. In the first part of this paper there is an analysis of C0{sub 2} emission factors, referred to the various fuels and energy technologies. The values at issue take into account the physico-chemical composition of the different fossil fuels, as well as the overall efficiency of energy production cycles and end uses patterns. As concerns the other greenhouse gases, the available information is summarized at a much more integrate level. The second part presents some estimates of carbon dioxide emissions in Italy, by sector and by fuel; some characteristic levels of specific emissions are also identified. A comparative estimate for CH{sub 4}, N{sub 2}O, CO and CFC's is also made, in order to set up a first reference table of the emissions of greenhouse gases in our country. (author)
