liquid fuels produced from oil.
The
spent fuel produced by nuclear power plants will emit harmful radiation for hundreds of thousands — even millions — of years.
Burning
diesel fuel produces mainly black carbon, for example, while burning wood produces mainly organic carbon.
Those solid
household fuels produce health - damaging indoor pollution that contributes to about four million premature deaths a year, most of them women and children.
The study took estimates for how much and what kinds of oil, gas, and coal supplies are left among the different fossil -
fuel producing nations and geographic regions.
Once approved by the Board, the ARB quantification methodology is intended to be used for accounting for potential reductions in compliance obligations for regulated entities in the Cap - and - Trade Program and is also being proposed under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard for reductions in the carbon intensity of
fuels produced in processes that employ CCS technologies.
HI - STAR 63 is truck weight cask expressly engineered
for fuel produced by Canadian - origin reactors.
In simple terms, this means that a Boeing 747 could fly for 10 hours on
bio-jet fuel produced on just 54 acres of land.
The best yield comes from soybeans, but they, too, are a net loser, requiring 27 percent more fossil energy than the
biodiesel fuel produced.
«We estimate that this biofuel would cost the airline industry $ 5.31 / gallon, which is less than most of the reported prices of renewable
jet fuel produced from other oil crops or algae,» said Deepak Kumar, a postdoctoral researcher at Illinois, who led the analysis.
The technology is considered critical for the survival of coal in a carbon - constrained world, considering that the fossil
fuel produces almost 50 percent of U.S. electricity and about a third of the nation's carbon dioxide emissions.
Trade barriers key problem Rich countries should invest in biofuel production in developing nations and liberalize the international trade, which is still burdened by high tariffs put in place to protect European and American farmers from the
cheaper fuel produced abroad, the chairman said:
Through their partnership with Audi's synthetic fuels programme, we may see the world's first
fuels produced directly from atmospheric CO2 as early as -LSB-...]
Connecticut - based FuelCell Energy (FCE) has applied for a prospective pathway for California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) for the production of
hydrogen fuel produced from biogas derived from the mesophilic anaerobic digestion of wastewater sludge at a publicly owned treatment works (POTW).
Addressing Vanessa's question in post # 1: «As we do not all learn at the same rate, can someone explain to me the basic physics of how burning x amount of
fuel produces roughly 3x amount of gas when x is weight?»
Without action in the industrial Midwest and the fossil -
fuel producing states, we are not really doing the job.
An imbalance that allows many fossil
fuel producing countries (think Norway, Canada, the U.K etc.), to insist they are showing climate leadership all the while they are continuing to explore, expand, and exploit massive fossil fuel reserves with no meaningful plan for how they are going to stop it in line with safe climate limits.
Black carbon (BC) emissions from household cookstoves consuming
solid fuel produce approximately 25 percent of total anthropogenic BC emissions.
ClearFuels expects that the life - cycle carbon footprint of
renewable fuels produced by ClearFuels - Rentech technologies can be near zero, depending on the feedstock and the alternate use of such feedstock.
The RAND study found that Fischer - Tropsch fuels —
alternative fuels produced via an updated version of a process used by Germany during World War II — are the most promising option for affordably and cleanly meeting specifications for military fuels.
Response: Unlike currently operating nuclear reactors, SMR - 160 has been designed to store the
used fuel produced over the entire operating lifetime of the plant in subterranean cavities (formally known as Holtec's HI - STORM UMAX system licensed by the USNRC), occupying a small parcel of land in the plant's backyard.
Morgan Stanley's Climate Change and Fossil Fuel Aware Investing Framework includes the following approaches which begin with reducing exposure to fossil
fuel producing investments and extend to shareholder activism.
In comparison, the burning of fossil
fuels produced about 8.7 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide globally last year.
Compared to cleaner heating sources such as natural gas, these
dirty fuels produce high levels of particulate matter, exposure to which is linked to asthma, obesity, developmental delays, and other health problems.
Because the process makes a blend of hydrocarbons, it does not lack the aromatic compounds that seal aircraft engines, like the
biojet fuel produced from camelina oil by UOP.
The nuclear spent
fuel produced during 14 years of operation at Rancho Seco was kept cool in a water pool on site and is now in protective dry storage.
When opening the SOLETAIR pilot plant, he impressively demonstrated the improved combustion and ignition properties of the synthetic
fuel produced compared to conventional fuel.
If the country's economy grows enough then the target could be hit, provided industry becomes more efficient in its use of fossil
fuel produced power, even if total carbon emissions actually rise.
for example, someone from the ethanol lobby had a letter in the times pointing to some 300 000 000 (million) gallons of ethanol for
road fuel produced i a recent year.
At the same time,
cleaner fuels produced by our country's world - class refining sector have helped make today's cars and trucks 99 percent cleaner for common pollutants than their 1970s forebears.
