NOx gases represent some of the most reactive gases produced from diesel combustion and other fossil fuels, but the emissions limits for nitrogen dioxide are regularly exceeded, especially in urban areas.
«Without a membrane, the photoanode and photocathode are close enough to each other to conduct electricity, and if you also have bubbles of highly reactive hydrogen and oxygen gases being produced in the same place at the same time, that is a recipe for disaster,» Lewis says.
«Without a membrane, the photoanode and photocathode are close enough to each other to conduct electricity, and if you also have bubbles of highly reactive hydrogen and oxygen gases being produced in the same place at the same time, that is a recipe for disaster,» Lewis says regarding his findings published in PNAS.
But methane is a reactive gas and its presence leads to other greenhouse forcings, like the water vapor it decomposes into.
(1) Putting aside actual so - called fossil carbon (i.e. shales, coal, oil, gas tar sands) which are all relatively unreactive geologically overall (unless those pesky humans dig them up and burn them) there are in fact (today) substantial pools of potentially more reactive «fixed» carbon other than the active biosphere's biomass.
The innovative global modelling work of Derwent (1990) showed that emissions of the reactive but non-greenhouse gases — NOx, CO and NMHCs — altered atmospheric chemistry and thus changed the abundance of other greenhouse gases.
Other greenhouse gases make up an even smaller portion of the total greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, but are more long - lived and less reactive than methane.
