Sentences with phrase «than the fuel absorbed»

In a first for laser - driven fusion, scientists at a US lab say they have reached a key milestone called fuel gain: they are producing more energy than the fuel absorbed to start the reaction.

Protein content per 100g: 80 - 90g Calories: 82 Carbohydrates: 3.4 g Fibre: 0g The good: «Whey protein is absorbed faster than any other protein, making it ideal for fuelling muscle growth before and after training,» says Lovell.

The primary way freshwater ecosystems absorb CO2 created by humans burning fossil fuels is likely different than what happens in oceans.

Fossil fuels ultimately derive from plant life, which preferentially absorb more of the lighter isotope carbon - 12 than the heavier isotope carbon - 13.

Chlorophyll, the pigment that makes plants green, acts as a blood cleanser, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and detoxifying pigment that heals cell walls, oxygenates the blood, absorbs carcinogens and provides a fuel source cleaner than glucose.

(Paper abstract) Soot from ships worse than expected Produced during combustion of fossil fuels and biofuels, light - absorbing carbon (soot) creates haze and absorbs light with an efficiency nearly one third that of carbon dioxide.

They report that stopping deforestation and allowing young secondary forests to grow back could establish a «forest sink» — an area that absorbs carbon dioxide rather than releasing it into the atmosphere — which by 2100 could grow by over 100 billion metric tons of carbon, about ten times the current annual rate of global fossil fuel emissions.

- any increase of the decay rate from the biosphere over the uptake would lead to increased oxygen use, but we see the opposite: oxygen use is less than expected from fossil fuel burning, thus the biosphere is a net absorber of CO2.

The theory is that plants absorb more C12 than C13 (by about 2 %, not a big signature), so we can look at the air and know which came from plants and which came from volcanos and which came from fossil fuels, via us.

After atmospheric CO2 levels remained steady for thousands of years, natural sources suddenly began to emit more than the sinks absorb at the exact same time as humans began burning fossil fuels.

Here is an example of what I'm getting at: * Climate change is a myth or conspiracy - The temperature record is phony - the consensus is just politics * Climate change is unproven - The models are wrong - One hundred years isn't enough evidence * It's not our fault - Volcano's emit way more CO2 - It could be natural variation * A warmer climate is nothing to worry about - It was warmer in the middle ages - A warmer climate is a good thing * Mitigation will destroy the economy - We don't know enough to act - Reducing fossil fuel will destroy us * It's too late or someone else's problem - Kyoto is too little too late - The US absorbs more CO2 than it emits This is very rough example, but if you think it is headed in the right direction, I'd be happy to go through your guide in more detail and come up with something concrete - just give me the word.

More than half of pollution emitted by burning fossil fuels is absorbed by ocean water.

These plant - based fuels were originally billed as better than fossil fuels because the carbon released when they were burned was balanced by the carbon absorbed when the plants grew.

Around the core is uranium that will absorb neutrons and breed plutonium Heats up sodium that transfers heat to a second sodium loop that then heats up water to make steam Can produce 20 % more fuel than it uses.

We're still burning far more fossil fuels every year than the planet's forests and oceans are able to absorb.

Rather, the agency set ethanol requirements higher and higher with no apparent regard for falling U.S. gasoline consumption, allowing the RFS to drive the country headlong toward the «ethanol blend wall» — and potential harms from forcing more ethanol into the fuel supply than it can safely absorb.

Given historical climate and physics, the only way that implicit endorsement means «implicitly endors [ing] that humans are a cause of warming» where «a» is something less than primary (that is, over half) is if there is some as - yet undiscovered sink absorbing human CO2 emissions and, simultaneously, an as - yet undiscovered source of CO2 that is releasing it into the atmosphere - and moreover, the CO2 from this mysterious source just happens to possess a carbon isotope signature that matches fossil fuel CO2 as a total coincidence.

The RFS is forcing the use of more ethanol than the overall fuel supply can safely absorb — and in the process saddling refiners with using a fuel (cellulosic biofuel) that barely exists commercially.

The oceans play a central role in the global carbon cycle, absorbing more than a quarter of the carbon dioxide (CO2) that humans put into the air («anthropogenic carbon»), primarily by fossil fuel burning.

Observational evidence suggests that some organic aerosol compounds from fossil fuels are relatively weakly absorbing but do absorb solar radiation at some ultraviolet and visible wavelengths (e.g., Bond et al., 1999; Jacobson, 1999; Bond, 2001) although organic aerosol from high - temperature combustion such as fossil fuel burning (Dubovik et al., 1998; Kirchstetter et al., 2004) appears less absorbing than from low - temperature combustion such as open biomass burning.
