Homework 6 Insights: Fuels, Climate Policies, and Metal Concentrations in Lake Sediments

This presentation outlines key findings from Homework 6 regarding the fuels used by the Haapaniemi energy plant, climate change policies in Thessaloniki, and the metal concentrations in lake sediments. It discusses the educational aims and methods utilized, including R code for data interpretation. The presentation emphasizes the importance of understanding fuel ratios for GHG emission reduction, the impact of transportation on emissions, and the significance of lake sediment analysis for ecological health. Insights relate to the broader URGENCHE and MINERA projects, showcasing their relevance to future policies and environmental assessments.

Presentation Transcript

  1. DARM seminar: Homework 6 Salla Mönkkönen and Juho Kutvonen

  2. Content of the presentation • Substantive content • Aims of homework 6 • Pages selected • Wider perspective • Methods linkaging to bigger picture

  3. Pagesselected • Fuels used by Haapaniemi energy plant • Climate change policies in Thessaloniki • Järvisedimenttien metallipitoisuudet (Metal concentrations of lake sediments)

  4. Substantivecontent • Aims of homework 6 • What are different parts of a page? • How are the parts related to each other and to other pages? • Identification of R code structure

  5. Substantivecontent • Fuels used in Haapaniemi energy plant • What are the fuels and their fractions in Haapaniemi energy plant?

  6. Substantivecontent • Fuelsusedby Haapaniemi energyplant • Welearned: • Using R code • The pagestructure • Conclusions made based on the material and the work: • Peat is the mostusedfuelby Haapaniemi energyplant

  7. How the contentrelates to a widerperspective? • Fuels used by Haapaniemi energy plant • The page is part of URGENCHE project • It is important to know in what ratio different fuels are used by Haapaniemi energy plant. • The aim of Kuopio city reducing GHG emissions by 2030: increase of biomass?

  8. How the contentwasincorporated into the biggerpicture? • Fuels used by Haapaniemi energy plant • Results of URGENCHE project will be demonstrated for the year 2030 on a business-as-usual and two GHG emission reduction scenarios with emphasis on transport and buildings • Development and application of a methodological framework for the assessment of the overall risks and benefits of alternative GHG emission reduction policies for health and well-being

  9. Substantivecontent • Climate change policies in Thessaloniki • What are climate change mitigation policies in Thessaloniki?

  10. Substantivecontent • Climate change policies in Thessaloniki • Welearned: • The answershouldbe an ovariable, not a data table. • Conclusions made based on the material and the work: • Thereareseveralways to reducetraffic GHG emissions.

  11. How the contentrelates to a widerperspective? • Climate change policies in Thessaloniki • The page is part of URGENCHE project • As the name of the page refers, the content is about reducing GHG emissions. • In Thessaloniki these climate change policies concern traffic. • Since traffic is one of the biggest GHG emission sources, it is important to consider how to reduce them.

  12. How the contentwasincorporated into the biggerpicture? • Climate change policies in Thessaloniki • National and EU law -> restrictions for emissions • These were taken into account according to future plans. • Since Thessaloniki is one of the cities in URGENCHE project, the same aims regard as in Haapaniemi case

  13. Substantivecontent • Järvisedimenttien metallipitoisuudet (Metal concentrations of lake sediments) • What is the concentration of a certain metal in lake sediment?

  14. Substantivecontent • Järvisedimenttien metallipitoisuudet (Metalconcentrations of lake sediments) • Welearned: • Interpretation of R code: calculationsteps • Conclusions made based on the material and the work: • Concentration of differentmetalvarybetweenlakes • R codecanbeused in calculatingmetalconcentrations of lake sediment

  15. How the contentrelates to a widerperspective? • Järvisedimenttien metallipitoisuudet (Metalconcentrations of lake sediments) • The page is part of MINERA project • Mineindustryproducesmetalemissionswhicheventuallyendup in lake sediment-> effects to aquaticecosystem

  16. How the contentwasincorporated into the biggerpicture? • Järvisedimenttien metallipitoisuudet (Metalconcentrations of lake sediments) • Total model of riskassessment in mineareas • Ecological and environmentalriskassessments • Human exposure • Ecological and healtheffects
