It is a member of a U.N. - led initiative to reduce emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is the primary component of natural gas.

The two components are of similar spectral types; the primary exhibits strong C III 4650 emission and is classified as an O6.5 Iafc supergiant, while the secondary is an O6 Iaf supergiant.

As we've noted before, methane emissions from field production of natural gas are falling — mainly because industry wants to capture as much of the primary component of natural gas as possible, to deliver to customers.

Part of the U.S. success in reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the significant drop in emissions of methane, the primary component in natural gas, from development operations.

«If coal is to continue as a primary component of the nation's future energy supply in a carbon - constrained world, large - scale demonstrations of carbon management technologies — especially carbon capture and sequestration — are needed to prove the commercial readiness of technologies to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions from coal - based power plants and other energy conversion processes,» says the report.

Let's first tackle the most explicit problem: emissions of methane, which is the primary component of natural gas and is a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide.

So there is another reason to believe that while humans certainly ARE adding CO2 to the atmosphere, it isn't the primary component (we already know it isn't the primary component because the atmosphere is accumulating CO2 at a much faster rate than humans add each year) because while human emissions have been rising nearly exponentially, atmospheric CO2 has been rising linearly and that rate of rise did not change when global human CO2 emissions fell in absolute terms (tons of CO2 emitted to atmosphere fell in 2009, rate of increase of atmospheric CO2 unchanged).

In general, primary aerosol components (black carbon, hydrocarbon - like organic aerosol and biomass burning organic aerosol) dominated the local traffic and wood burning emissions whereas secondary components (oxygenated organic aerosol, nitrate, ammonium, and sulfate) dominated the PM1 chemical composition during the LRT episode.

Methane is the primary component of natural gas, and emissions will continue to fall as operators innovate and find new ways to capture and deliver more of it to meet consumer demands.»
