Not exact matches

«The science is really becoming quite clear into the effects of fossil fuel extraction and consumption, and so renewable energy development is important to make our state more resilient in the face of climate change and these challenges.

The group found that although fuel - cell vehicles would produce zero greenhouse - gas emissions during use, the extraction and refinement of hydrogen fuel would release three to five times as much carbon into the air as is released in procuring and refining gasoline and diesel.

America's midsection has experienced an uptick in quakes due to part of the hydraulic fracturing process: Wastewater from the fossil fuel extraction is pumped deep into the ground, causing faults to separate and slip.

However, the stark reality is that global emissions have accelerated (Fig. 1) and new efforts are underway to massively expand fossil fuel extraction [7]--[9] by drilling to increasing ocean depths and into the Arctic, squeezing oil from tar sands and tar shale, hydro - fracking to expand extraction of natural gas, developing exploitation of methane hydrates, and mining of coal via mountaintop removal and mechanized long - wall mining.

Second, scenarios with 2 °C or more warming necessarily imply expansion of fossil fuels into sources that are harder to get at, requiring greater energy using extraction techniques that are increasingly invasive, destructive and polluting.

That's before you get into the environmental vagaries of hydrogen production, which tends to be either energy - intensive itself (when extracted through electrolysis) or is gathered during the extraction of fossil fuels or natural gas.

«The 124 - mile Constitution pipeline, planned to run through five counties and two states, and hundreds of waterways is the sort of massive fossil fuel investment that would have locked our region into continued extraction and burning of fossil fuels and irreparably damaged precious water resources at a time when we need instead to be protecting these resources and speeding the transition to 100 percent renewable energy for all.

Unlike Brown, however, Newsom supports a ban on future oil and natural - gas extraction projects that involve fracking, a process that injects high - pressure liquid into rock formations to free up fossil fuels.

Friends of the Earth Europe projected imagery from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster onto Norway House in Brussels, turning it into a virtual beacon and warning of the dangers of fossil fuel extraction, especially in pristine environments like the Arctic.

Jobs and local procurement New fossil fuel extraction projects generate jobs and, in the case of foreign - owned fossil fuel companies, they also inject foreign funds into our economy via wages and local procurement of goods and services.

By contrast, since the beginning of the Industrial Era (around 1750), fossil fuel extraction and its combustion have resulted in the transfer of a significant amount of fossil carbon from the slow domain into the fast domain, causing a major change to the carbon cycle.

We already know we are moving to a low - carbon economy, so any new investment into expensive fossil - fuel extraction doesn't make much sense.

[3] The Greenhouse House Gas Protocol categorizes direct and indirect emissions into three broad scopes: Scope 1: All direct GHG emissions; Scope 2: Indirect GHG emissions from consumption of purchased electricity, heat or steam; and Scope 3: Other indirect emissions, such as the extraction and production of purchased materials and fuels, transport - related activities in vehicles not owned or controlled by the reporting entity, electricity - related activities (e.g. T&D losses) not covered in Scope 2, outsourced activities, waste disposal, etc..

so if those who insist the change is not happening / not fossil fuels fault are right, the effort put into bringing into existence renewable, low emission energy industries will virtually eliminate fossil fuel extraction (except for plastics etc).
