Total emissions of the six main greenhouse gases in 2012 were equivalent to 6,526 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. These gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride. Carbon dioxide emissions from passenger cars and light-duty trucks totaled 1,061.0

The INCITE program issued its first awards in 2004, when three projects received an aggregate five million core hours. Molecular reactions on these surfaces are pertinent for high-capacity energy storage, as well as photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction, which has the potential to turn sunlight directly into fuel.

The measurements provide the most detailed look at carbon emissions for a specific urbanized and industrialized region of China to date. Fuel combustion releases energy by converting carbon to CO 2 , but some is only converted to CO, losing some of the available chemical energy. —co-author J.

Coal consumption: lower increase due to financial crisis and more renewable electricity. Global emissions from coal consumption increased by 3.5%, which was less than in previous years, where average annual increases were about 5%. Excluding large-scale hydropower, renewables contributed 4.4% increase in 2008, a drop from 9.5%

May, 2007 : An international team of researchers concluded that the ability of the Southern Ocean to absorb carbon dioxide had slowed by about 15% per decade since 1981 ( earlier post ), and projected that at the present rate of deterioration, it will have lost two-thirds of its ability to store carbon by 2050.

Attendees believe that renewable energy needs two elements to be successful: technical progress leading to lower costs and a price on carbon. They were hoping it was going to be more aggressive in combating carbon directly through a stronger cap and trade and indirectly with a higher federal renewable energy standard. Earlier post.).

World-wide “peak oil” production is expected to occur from 2010 to 2025+ (by some experts estimate that we have already reached peak production since 2004). The problem with conventional Fischer-Tropsch processes for the production of synfuels is their carbon intensity, and their being practical only for “ land-based operations.”
