The spent exhaust gasses provide a means by which to control the burn process thus reducing the heat in
during the combustion process.
This is bad enough in itself, since water is not noted for its lubrication qualities in an engine, but even worse, that water dissolves any nitrates formed
during the combustion process.
Note: Heat content of combustible energy forms can be expressed in terms of either gross heat content (higher or upper heating value) or net heat content (lower heating value), depending upon whether or not the available heat energy includes or excludes the energy used to vaporize water (contained in the original energy form or created
during the combustion process).
The reference to «clean coal» was somewhat unclear in this context, because clean coal refers to attempts to recapture carbon released when coal is burnt or to otherwise reduce coal pollution
during the combustion process.
Not exact matches
In this
process, CO2 can be isolated
during combustion without having to use any additional energy, which means it can then go on to be stored.
Further, the findings of this study of the North Pacific highlight the need for greater controls on the emission of nitrogen compounds
during combustion and agricultural
processes.
One of the ways to deter the formation of NOx
during the
combustion cycle is to introduce an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
process.
A further step would be to develop a product - based approach that accounts for typical carbon sequestration
during the growing phase, carbon emissions from
processing, and implicit emissions from land use changes as well as
combustion emissions for each biofuel and biomass type.
Tax approximate CO2 emissions from final
combustion of biofuels and biomass based strictly on product type without attempting to account for carbon sequestered
during growth cycles or emitted
during harvesting, distillation or other chemical
processing or land - use impacts.
By
process of elimination, there is net flow of CO2 into vegetation / land (with emissions from them being overall negative aside from fuel
combustion), which is unsurprising in contexts ranging from a multitude of studies on co2science.org to how satellite - measured global net terrestrial primary production increased by several percent per decade
during the period of global warming (Nemani et al. 2003, for instance).
Most CCS claims to eliminate 90 percent of CO2 emission from
combustion, but the total LCA estimate must include leaks of natural gas
during production and the reagents used in the CCS
process.
Nice post, but how does that compare to aerosol formation
during the
process of fossil fuel
combustion (especially diesel and ship bunker fuel)?
