The development of whole-farm approaches for the mitigation of GHG emissions has been taken up recently by several research groups. A common feature of whole farm models is the ability to calculate CH4 and N20 emissions from all farm activities. Furthermore, the models vary considerably on many other aspects. General characteristics of whole farm models include model type, CH4 and N20 emissions, C02 emissions, C sequestration, NH3 and N03 emissions,...

Hl on flames and has been proven, at the demonstration scale, to yield extremely low NOx emissions. Another novel concept is represented by oxycombustion for zero emission GTs, in which pure O2 is used instead of air and the combustion is highly diluted by flue gases (H2O and CO2). In principle, the formation of NO is prevented and concentrated streams of CO2 are easily produced, suitable for C-sequestration techniques.

The required reduction therefore amounts to only a tiny fraction of the theoretical sequestration potential of the world soils. Although evaluation and certification of emission credits for sequestration of C in the terrestrial biosphere is certainly difficult (Marland et al., 2001), it is worthwhile to consider C sequestration in developing possible mitigation plans. 

Soil texture, especially clay content, has a significant influence on C sequestration (Parton et al., 1987 Burke et al., 1989 Beker-Heidmann and Scharpenseel, 1992 Schimel et al., 1994) by promoting the formation of physically stabilized and chemically stabilized SOC (Parton et al., 1994) and by controlling soil hydrologic properties (Schimel et al., 1994). The significance of the effects of individual site variables is in the order of soil taxon>drainage>texture>slope>elevation (Tan et al., 2004). 

One can hardly report on C sequestration in soils without a mention of Brazil as a source of C02 to the atmosphere due to extensive transformations of forests to cropland, which began in the 1970s and still continues. The C stocks have been... 

Physical stabilization of SOM has been extensively investigated and several exhaustive reviews can be found in the literature concerning its role in C sequestration (Oades and Waters, 1991 Angers and Carter, 1996 Christensen, 1996 Baldock and Skjemstad, 2000) and is also demonstrated in Figure 5.3. 

Formation of aggregates, which allows inclusion of particulate organic matter (POM), thereby making it inaccessible to decomposing microorganisms, is a fundamental process in C sequestration. Besides the action of the soil macrofauna (already mentioned in Section 5.2), which aids in aggregate formation by reducing the size... 

Since black C has a highly aromatic structure with a low level of substitution with functional groups, it is highly recalcitrant and therefore contributes to the stable fraction of soil C. At the global scale, formation of black C rapidly transfers fast-cyclable C from the biosphere to much slower-cyclable forms that may persist in the soil for millennia. It therefore represents an effective pathway for C sequestration.

Investigations of the OM dynamics of agricultural tropical soils can provide valuable information on how to manage such soils to increase C stocks and promote C sequestration, seeing that molecular recalcitrance and organo-mineral interaction are factors that determine SOM stability (Sollins et al., 1996 Baldock and Skjemstad, 2000).

Although the data on N burial is somewhat sparse, Chmura et al. (2003) compiled an extensive data set on rates of C sequestration in tidal sahne wetlands, which included more than 110 salt marsh sites. They concluded that on average salt marshes store 210 g C m year. Sediment C/N data for salt marshes has been compiled by VaHela (1983) and Craft et al, 1991 and while this data also comprises a wide range of values the majority of the sites have C/N values that fall between 14 and 30. Combining estimates of C accretion and C/N ratios, yields an overall... 

Transport only Central pipeline Hydrogen has become the dominant transport fuel, and is produced centrally from a mixture of clean coal and fossil fuels (with C-sequestration), nuclear power and large-scale renewables. Hydrogen is distributed as a gas by dedicated pipeline. 

Dry tundra may be regulated differently because the low soil water content might limit decomposition (Ileal et al., 1981 Ober-bauer et al. 1996). However, it is uncertain to what extent observed low rates of CO2 fluxes in dry tundra are due to reduced respiration in microorganisms versus that in plants (Illeris and Jonasson, 1999). In spite of this uncertainty, it appears that predicted changed climatic conditions in the Arctic (IPCC, 1996) can lead to both decreased and increased C sequestration by different arctic ecosystems. It also appears that the same change of environmental conditions may have different effects across ecosystem types and could even lead to different directions of the changes in C balance between neighboring systems.
