Sentences with phrase «additional carbon dioxide from»

Abstract: The oceans are becoming more acidic due to the uptake of additional carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

As the ocean mass moves north, it absorbs additional carbon dioxide from decomposing organic matter in the water and sediments, increasing acidity.

The team found that removing crop residue from cornfields generates an additional 50 to 70 grams of carbon dioxide per megajoule of biofuel energy produced (a joule is a measure of energy and is roughly equivalent to 1 BTU).

By 2030, the figure could grow to 14 percent of capacity, a level that would be met with «minimal» additional investments in power transmission and storage, while significantly cutting carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, the draft asserted.

In addition, the sea takes up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere — an additional nutrient for photosynthesising algae and sea grass.

The company's primary products are atmospheric gases, which are produced from air (e.g., oxygen and nitrogen) and process gases, which are produced through additional processes (e.g., carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and acetylene).

Research indicates that oceans have absorbed much of the heat and about a third of the additional carbon dioxide pumped into the air from pre-industrial times.

Impacts of California's Five - Year (2012 - 2016) Drought on Hydroelectricity Generation — This comprehensive assessment of the costs to California of lost hydroelectricity during the five - year California drought (from October 2011 to the end of September 2016; the official California «water year» runs from October 1 to September 30) reveals an increase in electricity costs of approximately $ 2.45 billion, as well as a 10 percent increase in the release of carbon dioxide from California power plants due to the additional combustion of fossil fuels for electricity generation.

Processed growth medium 316 from processing unit 302 may be cycled back through carbon dioxide capture facility 102 for additional carbon dioxide capture.

The Plausible Scenario projects that energy - efficient shipping can lead to an estimated emissions reduction of 7.9 gigatons of carbon dioxide - equivalent greenhouse gases from 2020 - 2050, at an additional cost of approximately US$ 915 billion [10] and a net operating savings of US$ 424 billion.

The President directed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop and implement standards to reduce carbon dioxide pollution from power plants, double renewable energy in the United States by 2020, and open public lands to an additional 10 gigawatts of renewable energy development, enough to power more than 6 million homes.

Induced earthquakes are an additional potential hazard arising from storage of carbon dioxide, according to Stanford geophysicist Mark Zoback.

The greenhouse effect from that extra water vapor will then cause additional warming that gets added to the original warming from carbon dioxide.

That additional acidity gained from carbon dioxide in sea water is affecting many species with calcareous shells and having the most significant effect on hard corals, which also use calcium carbonate to build their home

It is only over the longer time scales (decades) that the additional predictability that comes from external drivers of climate change (for instance, carbon dioxide, air pollution and ozone depletion) can start to be useful — but that's another post.

Trees remove over 26,000 pounds of pollutants from the air each year, absorb 1.8 million gallons of runoff annually, store 1.4 billion pounds of carbon dioxide, and sequester an additional 870,000 pounds of carbon dioxide each year.

The most important greenhouse gases on Earth are water vapor and carbon dioxide, with additional contributions from methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and others.

I took a look at the paper and I notice that for diagnosed emission pathway (DEP) 2.6 which includes moderate capture of carbon dioxide, the additional concentration from permafrost at the end of the twenty - third century (44 ppm) is about the same as at the end of the twenty - first century (39 ppm) so it looks as though it is quite possible to keep up with this effect.

[7][8] The vast majority of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions (i.e., emissions produced by human activities) come from combustion of fossil fuels, principally coal, oil, and natural gas, with comparatively modest additional contributions coming from deforestation, changes in land use, soil erosion, and agriculture.

While it may remain profitable to build renewable energy installations, incentives against cutting carbon emissions were not strong enough: Prices for allowances to emit carbon dioxide have dropped and cheap gas in the United States is pushing an additional supply of hard coal on the market, reducing coal prices to their lowest in four years and incentivising utilities to sell more power from brown - and hard coal - fired power stations.
