Sentences with phrase «capture more greenhouse gases»

While the new President can certainly help reduce industry costs by, among other things, canceling Obama's Clean Energy Plan, which would force power plants to capture more greenhouse gases, it is not clear if this will be enough.

In April, another IPCC report suggested strategies to cool global warming's consequences, including adopting more alternative energy sources and capturing more greenhouse gases (SN: 9/6

Not exact matches

By capturing methane gas from cow manure and using it to generate electrical power, the Straus Dairy Farm prevents a greenhouse gas that is 72 times more detrimental than CO2 within a 20 - year period from getting into the atmosphere, while also creating a renewable energy source.

I work with scientists, so I know the only chance we have is to keep greenhouse gases in the ground until they can be fully captured so they don't warm the atmosphere or oceans any more.

A new, highly permeable carbon capture membrane developed by scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) could lead to more efficient ways of separating carbon dioxide from power plant exhaust, preventing the greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere and contributing to climate change.

With more wind power, new nuclear plants, carbon capture and storage, and increased efficiency, electricity industry group says significant greenhouse gas reductions possible

Fracking to free more natural gas from shale can help displace even more polluting coal in more developed countries such as the U.S. but can only serve as a bridge — and a very short bridge — to the zero - greenhouse - gas pollution future, unless also outfitted with carbon capture and storage to eliminate pollution.

HFC - 23, an industrial greenhouse gas thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide, is produced as a by - product in the manufacture of refrigerant, and a number of major offset projects capture and destroy HFC - 23, doing a huge service to the climate.

In response to a tax on greenhouse - gas emissions imposed by the Norwegian government, each year the company now removes about 1 million tons of CO2 captured as a waste product from the natural gas it recovers and pumps more than 99 percent of it 2,600 feet beneath the seafloor into a porous sandstone formation capped by impervious rock.

Although there have been a few demonstrations that it is possible to store relatively small amounts of CO2 deep below the ground — largely to push more oil and natural gas to the surface — there is no commercial - scale power plant that both captures and stores greenhouse gases, Moniz adds.

Understanding the significance of this last fact relies on the appreciation that displacing all fossil fuel power plants with solar and wind farms, while necessary in curbing the flow of additional greenhouse gases into our atmosphere, does nothing to capture the prevailing stock of greenhouse gases accumulated from 150 years of industrialization and that will remain in the atmosphere for upwards of a hundred or more years to come.

Delaying action to curtail greenhouse gases through 2030 would reduce options to stabilize the gases, require much more rapid scale - up of low - carbon technologies and rely more on techniques that take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, such as combining burning biomass with carbon capture and storage, the researchers wrote.

The researchers say capturing more carbon in land and forests is no substitute for eliminating the world's dependence on fossil fuels, which it is consuming so prodigally that the consequent rise in greenhouse gas levels is driving global warming.

Two Canadian companies, Trident Exploration Corp. and Menova Energy Inc., have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to form a company that will be part of a consortium developing a new photo - bioreactor system for the capture and recycling of greenhouse gases (GHGs) generated by the processing of petroleum...

Finding ways to capture carbon dioxide emitted from burning fossil fuels in power plants and other industrial operations — better and more affordable ways — could be a significant help in the bid to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

More important, from a global warming perspective, they also have the potential to capture and sequester greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide before they enter the atmosphere.

Any gas with 3 or more atoms can be a greenhouse gas, (as at least three atoms are necessary for the gas to vibrate and capture the infrared light) so gases made up of one atom (Hydrogen, H) or two atoms (Oxygen, O2) are not greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse gases don't block all outgoing radiant energy — it merely slows it down by capturing more infrared photons and re-emitting in all directions including down — increasing net energy retained at any instant in the atmosphere.

Look beyond decades of carbon capture deficit, though, and you'll see biomass plants that release a bit more greenhouse gasses — as in 50 percent more CO2 and nitrous oxide than coal plants, and (across all pollutant categories) eight times more than a natural gas plant.

A more affordable option to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to capture methane from farms, wastewater treatment plants and landfills and deliver it to customers through existing infrastructure.

The Carbon Sequestration Cost Everyone Else Forgot Could a Century's Worth of Carbon Emissions Be Stored Within the... EU To Pump Up Hot Air Capture Vattenfall Promises More Carbon Capture At German Coal Plants... Plug - in Hybrids a Better Use of Coal = -25 % Greenhouse Gas... It's No Gas: Norway's Karstø Cuts Back Before It Even Gets CO2... Ev - eon Water Stores Carbon Dioxide

A carbon price close to $ 100 per tonne of CO2 — more than three times higher than it is today — is needed before industry will invest in the thousands of carbon - capture - and - storage (CCS) schemes needed for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Shell warned yesterday.

Science News fills us in: Capturing Carbon Does Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions Though a coal power plant equipped to sequester carbon requires about 30 % more coal to provide the power to compress the captured CO2 and pump it underground, the overall carbon emissions still are reduced by 71 - 78 % compared with an average coal plant for every usable unit of electricity produced.

That's six billion bloated bags of good and bad bacteria, some of which aids digestion but some of which steals the cows» half - chewed grass and corn and emits massive amounts of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that captures about 80 times more heat in a 20 - year period than carbon dioxide does.
