Climate change and sustainable use of natural resources are among the main challenges of soceity today.The importance of LCA use and LCT is illustrated in many peice of legislation in national and international context.There are a lot of unknowns around the indirect impacts of the Carbon Tax, leaving plenty of space for politically fuelled speculation. The tax will be charged at 23 dollars per tonne to businesses which emit 25,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide or the equivalent in other greenhouse gases.New processing technology with lower energy consumption and improved metal extraction efficiencies that will reduce reserve depletion and environmental impact.https://www.researchgate.net/topics.Topics.html?ev=tp_pst_dtl_xask&focus=true
The steel industry accounts for about 7% of anthropogenic emission of carbon dioxide.When mining and transportation of iron ore are included,the share may be as high as 10%.About 75% of the global carbon dioxide emissions from steel production are related to coal and coke in iron making.The consequences of implementing a carbon tax(which in this formulation is equivalent to a system of tradable emission permits) has been simulated for the steel industry.
. The implementation of the tax is critical, and which industries get reimbursed or not could cause a lot of criticism and concern. It is always difficult to forecast tax implications because of the interrelated nature of our economy. Like on all Australian’s the carbon tax will have mixed implications on industrial designers. It very much depends on individual/business circumstances as to how much you will benefit, suffer or perhaps stay neutral financially.http://embody3d.com/2011/07/14/the-carbon-tax-and-implications-on-industrial-design/
Microalage can solve some of the problems in CO2 release. They are now used for CO2 trapping.
