Current Projects Global Warming Campaign By John-Mott Smith What exactly are the greenhouse gases that cause global warming and where do they come from? The primary sources are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). There are other chemicals that contribute, either directly or indirectly, to global warming, but these are the big three. Carbon Dioxide Clearly, the two big-ticket items for us to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions are the gasoline we use in our cars, and the electricity and natural gas we use in our homes, businesses, and industries.

    Extractions: What does the term "greenhouse" mean? "Greenhouse" refers to an enclosure where the atmosphere is maintained under favorable conditions. Greenhouses are generally dedicated to farm plants when outer environmental conditions are hostile (for example, for growing summer vegetables in inhospitable surroundings). The system of a greenhouse depends on blocking the free exchange of gases between the atmosphere inside the greenhouse and the outside environment, thereby delaying heat transference by convection (transference of energy through currents in a volume). Thus the greenhouse allows the temperature to be maintained at a tepid level to avoid stress or death to the vegetables from excessive outside cooling. Is the warming of a car interior when parked in direct sunlight a greenhouse effect? Yes, the effect is precisely the same, because the exchange of gases between the car interior and the outer environment is obstructed by the glass and body shell. In other words, when we leave our cars in direct sunlight with windows and doors closed, we block the gas currents or the movement of fluid masses between the car interior and the outer environment, thus allowing only

    Extractions: Blog I FAQ I Contact I Links I Sitemap The atmosphere is primarily made up of two gases, those being Nitrogen and Oxygen. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere; oxygen is around 21%, and the inert gas Argon is at around .93%. This leaves less than one tenth of a percent for the other gases like Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Hydrogen, and a few others with very low parts per million or ppm. The composition of the air is not constant however and can vary from place to place in small amounts. Carbon Dioxide's concentration is said to be around .037% and there are a number of gases that are so small in concentration, even compared to Carbon Dioxide, that they are called trace gases. The most important of these trace gases to us are Methane CH4, Nitrous Oxide N20, and CFC's or chloroflouro-carbons because of the way they act as greenhouse gases. So greenhouse gases are gases that absorb radiation being given off by the earth and re-emit it back to the earth keeping the air near the ground warmer than if the greenhouse gases were not present. Carbon Dioxide A clear, odourless gas that is non-toxic to humans, CO2 neither fouls the air, impairs visibility, nor contributes to respiratory disease. CO2 is the basic building block of the planetary food chain, and rising concentrations help most plants grow faster and bigger, use water more efficiently and resist pollution and other environmental stresses. The ecological benefit of an atmosphere richer in CO2 is universal, because all animals depend, directly or indirectly, on plants as a food source.

    Extractions: Green House Gases ~ not green at all. Many greenhouse gases occur naturally, such as water vapour (or steam), carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Others such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) result exclusively from human industrial processes. Human activities add significantly to the level of naturally occurring greenhouse gases: Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by the burning of solid waste, wood and wood products, and fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal). Nitrous oxide emissions occur during various agricultural and industrial processes, and when solid waste or fossil fuels are burned. Methane is emitted when organic waste decomposes, whether in landfills or in connection with livestock farming. zSB(3,3) Methane emissions also occur during the production and transport of fossil fuels. The Properties of Greenhouse Gases Greenhouse gases vary in their ability to absorb and hold heat in the atmosphere, a phenomenon known as the "greenhouse effect." HFCs and PFCs are the most heat-absorbent, but there are also wide differences between naturally occurring gases. For example, nitrous oxide absorbs 270 times more heat per molecule than carbon dioxide, and methane absorbs 21 times more heat per molecule than carbon dioxide On Friday, February 2, 2007, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—the leading international group of climate scientists—published a 20-page summary of a much longer scientific report

    Extractions: Naturally occurring greenhouse gases are essential to life on earth considering the important role they play in the earth’s greenhouse effect. Since they slow the transference of the earth’s thermal radiation into space, these gases help keep the earth approximately 33°C warmer than it would otherwise be without them. Unlike naturally occurring greenhouse gases, anthropomorphic (man made) greenhouse gases are believed to have caused an over accumulation of greenhouses gases in our atmosphere. This is believed to have affected an observed increase in the earth’s average surface temperature, commonly referred to as global warming.

    Extractions: Greenhouse gases are components of the atmosphere that contribute to the greenhouse effect . Without the greenhouse effect the Earth would be uninhabitable; in its absence, the mean temperature of the earth would be about -19 °C (-2 °F, 254 K) rather than the present mean temperature of about 15 °C (59 °F, 288 K). Greenhouse gases include in the order of relative abundance water vapor carbon dioxide methane nitrous oxide , and ozone . The majority of greenhouse gases come mostly from natural sources but are also contributed to by human activity.

These two of four planned cogeneration power plants are integral parts of Alcoa of Australia’s operating facility in Pinjarra, Australia, which will enable Alcoa to reduce its greenhouse gas emission by over 270,000 tons per year, equivalent to removing 60,000 cars from the road. Innovative Partners: Alinta, Alcoa, Downer Energy and Eco-Tec Alinta hired Downer Energy Group to facilitate the cogeneration project. Cogeneration is a process that utilizes one input, gas, to produce two outputs, electricity and steam. The Pinjarra cogeneration plant produces 140MW of electricity and 240 tons per hour of steam. The power is delivered to Alinta’s power consumers while the steam is directed to Alcoa’s refinery, where the condensates from the steam generated are purified and processed for reuse within Alcoa’s refinery. Without purifying the condensates, contaminates such as iron and copper can cause corrosion. Corrosion wastes energy and reduces efficiency. The most cost effective solution is to “polish” or purify the condensates for reuse. As more condensate is reused, less make up water is required, reducing chemical and water consumption while also reducing overall energy requirements.

For example, methane emissions following fall ploughing were 26% less than they were following spring ploughing (Ko and Kang 2000). In addition to reducing rice production's overall contribution to the generation of greenhouse gases, rice fields can sequester some 10 metric tons of carbon per hectare per growing season - but only if crop residue is kept in the soil (Rice Producers of California 2003). If crop residue is burned instead of kept in the soil, the carbon is lost and rice becomes a net contributor to CO2 production. Burning rice husks at processing plants is not only harmful environmentally, it is a waste of resources. Rice husks have tremendous value in many greenhouse operations and are in fact bought and transported great distances as a valuable raw material for soil amendments.

79. Nysgjerrigper - Greenhouse Gases Turn To Stone
    The Norwegian seabed actually has enough room to store all the greenhouse gases from all the power plants in Europe for the next 800 years.  
    http://www.nysgjerrigper.no/Artikler_Engelske/greenhouse_gases
    
    Extractions: The Norwegian seabed actually has enough room to store all the greenhouse gases from all the power plants in Europe for the next 800 years. There, the gas turns to stone. ILL: STATOIL Norway will soon be building its first gas-fired power plant. However, the combustion of gas leads to large amounts of greenhouse gas. This gas is also known as carbon dioxide, and it leads to pollution and global warming. It has therefore been decided that greenhouse gas should not be released into the atmosphere. As a result, the power plant has to do something to get rid of 1.3 million metric tonnes of greenhouse gas every single year. That amounts to about 150 metric tonnes an hour! Injection into the seabed The gas has to be stored some place. For several years, scientists have been studying what happens when they pump gas into the seabed, either into a depleted oil field or under oil deposits to press even more oil out of them. The big question is: What happens to the gas? It would be a real shame if all the gas simply resurfaced again.

    Extractions: Topical: Greenhouse Gases The RI Greenhouse Gas Stakeholders Group has begun Phase 3 of its process to implement the 2002 New England Governors and Canadian Maritime Premieres mandate to cut greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels. Among greenhouse gases are methane and carbon dioxide that forms when gasoline, oil, coal, and other carbon-containing materials are burned. These gases form a layer aound the earth's atmosphere that prevents the sun's heat from escaping, thus forming a greenhouse effect. Over-heating rooms, low miles-per-gallon vehicles, and excessive energy use needs to changed.
