EMISSION MEASUREMENT OF UNIVERSITY FLEET VEHICLES THROUGH ON-ROAD REMOTE SENSING AND IDENTIFICATION OF HIGH NOx EMITTERS
Download2022-06-01
Abediasl, Hamidreza, Hosseini, Vahid, Koch, Charles Robert, Shahbakhti, Mahdi
Remote sensing emission measurement is a method to measure real driving emissions to identify high emitter vehicles. High NOx emitter vehicles are recognized among the selected 14 vehicles of the University of Alberta fleet. By combining remote sensing and on-board diagnostics (OBD) data, an...

Energy balance and greenhouse gas emissions of production and sequestration of charcoal from agricultural residues
Download2016-01-01
Thakkar, Jignesh, Kumar, Amit, Ghatora, Sonia, Canter, Christina E.
Agricultural residues (wheat/barley/oat straw) can be used to produce charcoal, which can then be either landfilled off-site or spread on the agricultural field as a means for sequestering carbon. One centralized and five portable charcoal production technologies were explored in this paper. The...

Energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the recovery and extraction of crude bitumen from Canada's oil sands
Download2015-01-01
Nimana, Balwinder S., Canter, Christina E., Kumar, Amit
A model- FUNNEL-GHG-OS (FUNdamental ENgineering PrinciplEs- based ModeL for Estimation of GreenHouse Gases in the Oil Sands) was developed to estimate project-specific energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) in major recovery and extraction processes in the oil sands, namely...

Energy efficiency improvement opportunities and associated greenhouse gas abatement costs for the residential sector
Download2017-01-01
Subramanyam, Veena, Kumar, Amit, Talaei, Alireza, Mondal, Md. Alam Hossain
Despite improvements, the residential sector is one of most energy-intensive sectors in the world and is the third largest consumer of energy across Canada, and in Alberta in particular. This study investigates opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)...
