Abstract

Aim: The article presents information on the issue of CO2 emission (called greenhouse gas) from the energy sector, along with tools enabling the deter- mination of CO2 emissivity used to manage this process and the directions of actions taken to minimize the negative impact on the climate. Introduction: CO2 is one of the substances essential for the functioning of life on Earth. On one hand, it is an important element of the carbon cycle in nature, being the basis for the synthesis of carbohydrates. On the other hand, it belongs to the group of greenhouse gases responsible for the climate change – and for this reason, it must be subject to constant control. Due to this fact, appropriate measures are taken, including changes in law, in the scope of emission, as well as the introduction of modern technological solutions aimed at monitoring and reducing CO2 emission. Activities undertaken in the area of energy, the branch of the economy generating the largest amounts of anthropogenic CO2, accounting for 41% of global emissions of this gas, are of significant importance [1]. The developed tools, allowing to calculate the amount of carbon dioxide emissions, expressed by emission indicators, allow for the assessment of the activities undertaken both in terms of ecology and economy. Methodology: The article was prepared on the basis of a review of selected literature, and reports as well as applicable legal requirements in the field of the discussed subject. Conclusions: The implemented measures aimed at the application of emission indicators in the area of energy allowed for the definition of forecasts and the determination of the directions of activities, in order to reduce the emission of CO2. The gradual implementation of new technological solutions, enabling energy production based on biomass or other renewable energy sources, allows for the reduction of the emission of this gas. However, given the constantly increasing energy demand, it is a slow process which is not sufficient to stop the observed changes. Therefore, it is necessary to take further steps, to develop more reliable and homogeneous tools that would make it possible to compare the results regardless of the place of emission or the type of fuel used. However, it should be noted that it is necessary to cover all stages of the construction and operation of the energy sector with the measures mentioned above, which generate CO2 emission, and not only the combustion process itself.

管理能源部门的二氧化碳排放和气候政策
目的:本文介绍了能源部门二氧化碳排放(称为温室气体)问题的信息,以及用于管理这一过程的二氧化碳排放测定工具,以及为尽量减少对气候的负面影响而采取的行动方向。二氧化碳是地球上生命运作所必需的物质之一。一方面,它是自然界碳循环的重要元素,是合成碳水化合物的基础。另一方面,它属于导致气候变化的温室气体——因此,它必须受到持续的控制。由于这一事实,采取了适当的措施,包括在排放范围内修改法律,以及采用旨在监测和减少二氧化碳排放的现代技术解决办法。能源是经济领域中产生最多人为二氧化碳的部门,占全球二氧化碳排放量的41%,在能源领域开展的活动具有重要意义。已开发的工具可以计算以排放指标表示的二氧化碳排放量,从而可以从生态和经济两方面评估所进行的活动。方法:本文是在审查选定的文献和报告以及所讨论主题领域的适用法律要求的基础上编写的。结论:实施的措施旨在将排放指标应用于能源领域,以确定预测和活动方向,以减少二氧化碳的排放。新技术解决方案的逐步实施,使基于生物质或其他可再生能源的能源生产成为可能,从而减少了这种气体的排放。然而,鉴于不断增加的能源需求,这是一个缓慢的过程,不足以阻止观察到的变化。因此,有必要采取进一步步骤,开发更可靠和一致的工具,以便能够比较结果,而不管排放地点或使用的燃料类型如何。然而,应该注意的是,有必要将上述措施涵盖能源部门的建设和运营的所有阶段,这些阶段产生二氧化碳排放,而不仅仅是燃烧过程本身。关键词:辐射率,二氧化碳,电力工程,气候变化文章类型:综述文章
