Case Background: - In transportation industry, one of the biggest challenge is how to deal with carbon dioxide emissions and how to reduce the energy. According to the Natural Resources Canada, one third of the greenhouse emission is because of transportation industry.

Approximately 23 percent of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions were made by the national food supply chain. Coal fired power stations come after them.

Industries and Electrical generation are estimated to produce “a little over 50%” of greenhouse emissions, making it the biggest problem (Petterson

For the plant it has been decided to use the passive RFID technology, as it one of the cheapest solutions, moreover it requires antenas to be placed around the factory, which makes the control process simplier and more efficient.

Australia’s carbon tax led to a drop in electricity sector emissions by as much as 17 million tons (9%). Many contend that the effects would have been more

For example, the government claimed that using Greenhouse Gas Reduction Account funds to subsidize electricity prices would produce 3 Mt in emission reductions. We found no evidence to support this claim and concluded that subsidizing electricity rates is not an acceptable use of these funds. Fortunately, the government is no longer proposing to divert Greenhouse Gas Reduction Account funds in this way.

Primary source comes from fossil fuels, heat, and transportation. The other main source of primary source emissions is the electricity production industry. Electricity production comes from fossil fuels. Electricity production is one of the primary use in the Greenhouse. Electricity production also comes from natural gas. Transportation is also using fossil fuel. The industry also comes from fossil fuel. People also use heat to keep themselves warm. Another primary source of emissions is activities people do. When people are doing activities, it builds up the heat in the body. (EPA, 2016)

The EPA began regulating greenhouse gases from mobile and stationary sources of air pollution under the Clean Air Act for the first time on January 2, 2011. Standards for mobile sources have been established pursuant to Section 202 of the CAA, and GHGs from stationary sources are controlled under the authority of Part C of Title I of the Act. See the page Regulation of Greenhouse Gases Under the Clean Air Act for further

These emissions are mainly emitted through the burning of fossil fuels. Automobiles burn gasoline and petroleum, which releases harmful gasses into the atmosphere. Burning down of forests directly emits those harmful gasses into our atmosphere and of course many factories aid in producing harmful gasses as well. Many of our power-plants within our lifetime here on earth have burned coal, which is one of the largest contributors to global warming out of all pollutants on earth, as stated by National Geographic. These gasses that are released into the atmosphere are known as “Greenhouse Gasses”, which are the main contributor to global warming. The term Greenhouse Gas, as stated by the National Weather Service was invented to give a visual description of how our atmosphere traps gasses and other particles into our atmosphere to prevent them from being released into space. As stated by National Geographic, “The Greenhouse Affect, is the process of heat and energy being trapped into our atmosphere to keep the earth at a livable

There are many by products produced in the oil sands process, many of these are air emissions containing nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and volatile organic compounds. All of these have a detrimental effect on the ecological environment and the employees working around them. Suncor is utilizing complete Environmental Informational Management System (EIMS) implementation for air data for all assets, and investing in equipment and technology to achieve emission reductions. Suncor is continually generating air-related emissions data for reporting purposes, and continues to

In managing the emissions of GHGs(Green House Gases), carbon taxes will be imposed mid 2012. "Economic theory anticipates that with the increased costs of emitting GHGs, drives emitters to downsize their activities." Salem Press (2009)

Case Analysis: Blanchard Importing and Distributing Co. Inc. (HBS Case 9 - 673 - 033)

As Star River is a private company and has not issued stock, we need to make several assumptions when calculating market value of equity and price of equity. Analysis of similar companies reveals that Wintronics, Inc. and STOR-Max Corp. are the most similar firms in the market. To calculate Star River’s market value of equity I used market to book value method. I found M/B for Wintronics to be 4.4 (market price per share/book value per share) and 3.9 for STOR-Max. an average M/B ratio is 4.15, so multiplying Star River’s book value of equity of 47004 by 4.15 I found Star River’s market value of equity to be SGD195,066.6M. Average beta of these two companies is 1.615. The global equity market premium is 6%, and I use 10 year Singapore T-bond yield of 3.6% as my risk free rate.

Company has a high quality management system and is subject to audit for compliance with international ISO 9001:2000 standards.
