Sulfur Gasoline as Source of Automotive Emissions

In recent years, there has been a greater understanding of the role of automotive emissions as environmental pollutants. Sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide degrade the earth’s atmosphere and are health hazards. Carbon dioxide adds to the atmospheric buildup of greenhouse gases and in turn accelerates the process of global warming. (more…)

Bioenergy Life Cycles Assessment | Green House Gases Emissions

bioenergy greenhouse
The quantification of the actual reduction in green house gases sourcess emissions resulting from the substitution of fossil fuels with energy from waste biomass requires a complete lifecycle assessment (LCA). A systematic framework for estimating the net Green House Gases emissions from bioenergy systems and comparing them against the fossil fuel reference system that it would replace has been developed. The major considerations of the life cycle assessment approach to quantifying the greenhouse impacts of bioenergy are as follows: (more…)

Heat Recovery: Fuel Savings by Preheating Combustion Air

heat recovery combustion air
As a result of high and rising costs of fossil fuels and fossil fuels affect global environment concern , and by the reduction of greenhouse effect gases from burning causes (Kyoto Protocol), the heat recovery gain importance growing. A heat exchanger absorbs a significant portion of the heat energy of the gases generated during combustion of solid fuel, liquid and gas in the smelting process, heating, roasting, and drying.

Greenhouse Gases Sources and Climate Change

climate change greenhouse gases
It is of interest to examine potential sources of greenhouse gases sources or atmospheric CO2 by analysis of the global distribution of carbon in all its forms. Atmospheric carbon, which can be assumed to be essentially all in the form of CO2 (i.e., 700 Gt carbon equals 2570 Gt of CO2) comprises only about 1.6% of total global carbon, excluding lithospheric carbon. Obvious greenhouse gases sources of direct or indirect additions of CO2 to the atmosphere are therefore fossil fuel deposits, since portions of them are combusted each year as fuels, and terrestrial biomass.

Causes of the Greenhouse Effect

causess greenhouse effect
Since preindustrial times, ambient concentrations of the greenhouse gases have exhibited substantial increases, inter alia CO2 by 30% to about 360 parts per million (ppm), CH 4 by 145% to more than 1700 parts per billion (ppb), and N20 by 15% to more than 300 ppb. The growth rates in the concentrations of these gases in the early 1990s were lower than predicted; while subsequent data indicate that the growth rates are comparable to those averaged over the 1980s.

Defining Clean Energy - Global Clean Energy Program

clean energy program
In this article, the terms clean energy is being used to take on a broad definition of the issue of new energy. Other possibilities, such as renewable energy or alternative energy sources are determined and usually do not include certain key sectors such as energy efficiency and clean fossil fuels, among others, that are dealing within this article.
