Towards Net-zero Carbon Initiatives: A Life Cycle Assessment Perspective
As industrialized nations look into emerging new technologies focusing on renewable or efficient energy use — along with the move towards Sustainable Development Goals — challenges related to achieving low carbon economy projects have gained much attention. This book explores various initiatives and potential methods to achieve net-zero carbon targets and issues.Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) will play an important role as an effective and comprehensive method to analyze potential greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts of a technology or system. LCA is a holistic and system-wide scientific method that can be used to quantify impact metrics chosen to evaluate any emerging Net-Zero Carbon technologies of interest, and reveal environmental trade-offs or further research opportunities that are required for balancing CO2 emissions. LCA perspectives of Net-Zero Carbon Technologies can also be used to outline decision-making strategies for a nation's shift towards low carbon economic development.
Carbon Finance: A Risk Management View
Mastering climate change has been recognised as a major challenge for the current decade. Besides the physical risks of climate change, the accompanying economic risks are substantial. Carbon Finance: A Risk Management View provides an in-depth analysis of how climate change will affect all aspects of financial markets and how mathematical and statistical methods can be used to analyse, model and manage the ensuing financial risks. There is a focus on the transition risk (termed carbon risk), but also a discussion of the impact of physical risks (as these risks are closely entangled) on the way to low carbon economies. This is a valuable overview for readers seeking an analysis of carbon risks from the perspective of financial risk management, utilising quantitative risk management tools.

Decarbonizing Asia: Innovation, Investment And Opportunities
As more than half of the planet's CO2 is emitted in Asia-Pacific, there is no way around it: the region has to become a leader in the global fight against climate change, if we are to win it. This transition also presents one of the greatest investment opportunities of the coming decades. The region is the most vulnerable to desertification, flooding, and sea level rise, but also has most of the planet's people, megacities, and renewable energy capacity. The sky is the limit.This pivotal book explores the intersection of decarbonization, innovation, and Asia-Pacific. It provides a snapshot of initiatives by industry leaders and the public sector to reduce emissions. Through detailed technological analysis, case studies, and interviews of nine key industries, the authors highlight the emerging trends and commercial opportunities. The region must bring capital, technology, and policy together if we are to reach the most important milestone of this century: net zero by 2050.
DR. NO und die Unschuldigen
EIN WIRTSCHAFTSKRIMI AUS DEM WAHREN LEBEN. --- Sechs Männer, ein Wille: der Finanzdeal namens Omega55. Als Vorstände der HSH Nordbank genehmigten die Männer Ende 2007 dieses 2,4 Milliarden Euro Geschäft - hastig und übereilt, und obwohl es wirtschaftlich nutzlos war für die HSH. Unter ihnen: Prof. Dirk Jens Nonnenmacher, genannt Dr. No. Er wurde zum öffentlichen Gesicht der folgenschweren Entscheidung. Im Juli 2013 fanden sich die Ex-Landesbanker auf der Anklagebank wieder. Wegen schwerer Untreue im Fall von Omega55 beziehungsweise Bilanzfälschung. Der Prozess endete überraschend mit Freisprüchen. Die Staatsanwaltschaft legte noch im Juli 2014 Revision ein. Die Journalistin Dani Pa...
