Abstract: The carbon emissions from China’s MSW management are evaluated with the mass balance model. According to the MSW generation and treatment trends, the future carbon emission and sink are also predicted. The results show that the net equivalent CO₂ emission is maintaining at about 150 million tons at recent years, although the MSW generation is growing slowly. MSW incineration for energy production and Landfill gas utilization in landfill sites are the main ways of carbon emission reduction. China’s MSW generation will reach 166 million tons, while the equivalent CO₂ emission will decease to 144 million tons due to more energy recovery from MSW treatment.

Abstract: Farmers and environmentalists have been at odds with one other in America. Wendell Berry’s ecological agrarianism, however, with the health of the land and the whole ecosystem as its central concern, establishes a significant link between agrarianism and environmentalism. Envisioning a society of small farmers and city consumers with ecological virtues, Berry has reshaped the language of American agriculture debate, and fundamentally shifted the perceptions concerning agriculture education and policy making, thereby moving American agriculture toward the maintenance of ecological integrity.

Abstract: The circulation economy guides the economic activity through both of the ecology rules and movements of the materials circulation in ecosystem. The purpose of the circulation economy is to change the traditional economical development pattern by the ways of recycling the resources so that a new economic system that conforms the ecology rules would be constructed. It is highly significant to conduct the research of the circulation economical strategy of enterprise development on the basis of ecology's basic philosophy. This study, from the perspective of ecological economics, has analyzed application of the ecology principles in circulation economy process of the enterprise development.

Abstract: Nowadays the deteriorating global climate alters us to lower the energy consumption and reduce the emission simultaneously. In the aspect of economy, energy-saving and emission-reduction are feasible methods to lower the product cost, and to obtain more profits for a factory or an enterprise. There are increasing energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies designed by governments, device manufacturers, software companies, research institutes. Thereby a real problem arising is how to select the appropriate solutions for a factory or an enterprise according to their real production characteristics and different duration plan for their future development. Cloud service, as a novel service mode, supplies a new solution for the problem of selection and realization about the possible technologies to save energy consumption and reduce the emission from the real production line. Therefore this paper proposes a technical solution of service cloud building for energy-emission and emission-reduction in manufacturing industry. Then main function modules are designed, and this paper explains the key-technologies to build this service cloud respectively. Finally some useful conclusions are drawn for the real application of service cloud in the engineering respectively.

Abstract: The pattern of using the household billing to promote heating energy savings has become a focus discussion in the current national energy conservation. Nowadays the average energy consumption in China is 2 to 3 times than the developed countries with the same weather conditions, equivalent to the level of developed countries in 60 to 70 years. We report a daily heat-energy consumption measuring test in Beijing since 2009, the result shows that 90% of the total households we tested never change their valves to regulate the heat exchange systems in two winters, the one at least change their valves once are about 5%. So that the way households use the central heating is not fit for the need to save heat-energy.

Abstract: The development of green building from a vague understanding to the formulation of the programme of action; from the initial establishment of policy support to the procedure of evaluation system. This paper tries to by the analysis the charter of relevant international organizations,actions, the world in terms of policies and regulations and evaluation system about the green building to describes the history and develop trend of green building, to make the industry have a comprehensive understanding about the all-aruond development of the green building.

Abstract: Because of the relatively narrow space and high density distribution of the passengers, the bus interior environment deteriorates in summer. Natural ventilating introduces a fresh natural freeze, provides the bus interior with appropriate distribution of air supply temperature and velocity field. Making good use of natural ventilation is an operating strategy ideal for improving passengers’ satisfaction, which is considered as an environmental friendly and cost effective approach. Based on CFD numerical simulation, with a whole-domain approach, this paper predicts air flow and thermal comfort in naturally ventilated bus. The outside and inside airflow is modelled simultaneously and within the same computational domain. The thermal environment in different parts of the bus interior is compared. Different vehicle velocities and conditions of windows are taken into account, analysis are made regarding to the effect of both of them on the interior thermal comfort. The result shows, air disturbance at the bus rear parts are intenser than the other parts with better thermal satisfaction; the quality of air flow in different parts makes the temperature difference in bus achieve as high as 3°C; the use of roof openings distributes the temperature more evenly.

Abstract: α-pinene was isomerized in the presence of phosphomolybdic acid. One of the products, α-terpinene, can react with maleic anhydride to form α-terpinene and maleic anhydride adduct (TMA). The optimum conditions for the synthesis of TMA have been investigated. The yield of 83% can be attained with the heterogeneous catalyst phosphomolybdic acid on active carbon (PMA/C), and can maintain ~67% after the catalyst was used for 5 times.

Abstract: This paper uses Impulse Response Function to empirically analyze the relationship between investment of environmental protection and economic growing of Shanghai. The result shows that Shanghai economic growth relatively contributes more to the environmental investment， while the improvement of environmental investment affects little on the economic growth. Shanghai should further promote multiplier effects of the environmental investment on economic growth in order to achieve the coordinated development between investment of environmental protection and economic growth.

Abstract: On the basis of the spatial panel data model, this article takes a empirical study on the energy efficiency. The results are as follows. (1) The energy efficiency has the obvious spatial dependence among the provinces of China, and the influential factors of the neighboring provinces will have impacts on the special province. (2) In various factors, the most intense are the energy price and the government intervention, which displays the inverse correlation relations with the energy efficiency. Therefore, more attention must be paid to the cooperation in provinces, the marketability reform of the energy price as well as government's unreasonable intervention in the process of the improvement of the energy efficiency.
