STABILIZE CO2 [1 record]

Record 1 2011-03-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Climate Change
CONT

Effort to limit emissions from fossil-fuel combustion alone are incapable of stabilizing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Stabilizing atmospheric carbon dioxide requires coupled measures to balance sources and sinks of the gas, and will only be viable with large-scale investments in increased sustainable productivity on degraded tropical soils, and in long- term research on renewable energy and biomass product development in the developing countries.

OBS

stabilize CO2; stabilize atmospheric CO2; stabilize CO2 concentration: The number 2 is subscripted.

Domaine(s)
  • Changements climatiques
CONT

Le Conseil conjoint énergie/Environnement présente une stratégie globale [..] : stabiliser les émissions de CO2 au niveau atteint en 1990. [...] Certaines des énergies renouvelables contribueraient à atteindre l'objectif de stabilisation si elles étaient plus largement utilisées.

OBS

La stabilisation des émissions ne se restreint pas à la limitation des émissions; elle comprend d'autres volets comme l'amélioration de l'efficacité énergétique par exemple. L'expression stabiliser les émissions porte à confusion, il s'agit en fait des concentrations résultant des émissions qui sont stabilisées.
