Les entreprises sont de plus en plus conscientes de la nécessité d'agir face au changement climatique. Cependant, tandis qu'un certain nombre d'entre elles, les pionnières, ont pris des mesures de protection du climat, nombreuses sont celles qui tardent à suivre. Ce rapport passe en revue les pratiques responsables des entreprises dans la lutte contre le changement climatique et l'évolution vers une économie sobre en carbone. Il dresse la synthèse des politiques publiques, des réglementations et autres instruments mis en place par les autorités pour faciliter la transition vers une économie sobre en carbone dans les pays de l’OCDE et les économies émergentes ; ainsi que les mesures prises par les entreprises pour y faire face. Utilisant les principes de responsabilité des entreprises identifiés dans les Principes directeurs de l'OCDE à l'intention des entreprises multinationales, ce rapport passe en revue trois domaines essentiels : la comptabilisation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre ; la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre ; et la mobilisation des fournisseurs, consommateurs et autres acteurs. Les résultats de cette publication contribuent à la Stratégie pour une croissance verte élaborée par l'OCDE dans le but de fournir aux gouvernements des outils pour les aider à mobiliser le potentiel d'une croissance plus verte.

The increasing global demand for energy requires a versatile approach, prompting many researchers to focus on renewable bioenergy from different biomasses, especially cellulosic biomass. Such biomasses can be agricultural wastes, municipal wastes or direct harvests from high-yield energy corps. If properly pre-treated, the subsequent enzyme hydrolysis step is much more effective and can effectively minimises the waste disposal. Green Biomass Pretreatment for Biofuels Production reviews a range of pretreatment methods such as ammonium fiber explosion, steam explosion, dilute acid hydrolysis, alkali hydrolysis, and supercritical carbon dioxide explosion focusing on their final sugar yields from hemicellulose, glucose yields from cellulose, as well as on their feasibilities in bioenergy production processes at various scales. This book emphasises the tactical mobile and on-farm scales applications that use green pretreatments and processing technologies without the need of on-site waste treatment. Because of the varieties of different biomasses, no single pretreatment is expected to be the universal choice. Some of the pretreatment methods present niche applications are also discussed.

This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report (IPCC-SRREN) assesses the potential role of renewable energy in the mitigation of climate change. It covers the six most important renewable energy sources - bioenergy, solar, geothermal, hydropower, ocean and wind energy - as well as their integration into present and future energy systems. It considers the environmental and social consequences associated with the deployment of these technologies and presents strategies to overcome technical as well as non-technical obstacles to their application and diffusion. SRREN brings a broad spectrum of technology-specific experts together with scientists studying energy systems as a whole. Prepared following strict IPCC procedures, it presents an impartial assessment of the current state of knowledge: it is policy relevant but not policy prescriptive. SRREN is an invaluable assessment of the potential role of renewable energy for the mitigation of climate change for policymakers, the private sector and academic researchers.
