Low Carbon Underground Engineering

Low Carbon Underground Engineering: Theory and Applications provides readers with a systematic framework for understanding life-cycle carbon emissions in underground engineering, including construction-stage and operation-stage emissions. Delivers practical carbon emission calculation methods based on life cycle assessment, engineering quota systems, system boundaries, inventory analysis and emission factors. Guides readers through uncertainty analysis methods for construction-stage carbon emissions, helping readers understand how parameter, model and scenario uncertainties affect carbon accounting results. Presents clear descriptions of low-carbon and energy-saving technologies for underground engineering construction, including construction method comparison, construction ventilation optimization and emission reduction measures. Discusses practical operational energy-saving technologies for underground engineering, including ventilation, lighting, renewable energy applications and new material technologies. Bridges theory and application by including calculation software, engineering examples, renewable energy utilization and carbon sequestration technologies, making the book key reading for both academic study and engineering practice.
