Despite reports that global emissions of the potent greenhouse gas, HFC-23, were almost eliminated in 2017, an international team of scientists, led by the University of Bristol, has found atmospheric levels growing at record values. This gas has very few industrial applications. —Dr Stanley. Resources. Stanley, D. Krummel, D.

This is despite the fact that natural variation will partially offset the warming signal from greenhouse gas emissions. The observed increase in greenhouse gas concentrations are raising concern among some scientists that warming of between 1.4 degrees Centigrade above pre-industrial surface temperatures could occur.

The bill also modifies the Clean Air Act to require the development of greenhouse gas emissions standards for all other mobile sources—e.g., Within three years of enactment, the EPA would need to determine the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of all transportation fuels and determine the fuel emission baseline.

In 2005, Congress enacted the Renewable Fuel Standard as part of the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) and amended it in the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA). Greenhouse gas emissions. The extent to which using biofuels rather than petroleum will reduce greenhouse gas emissions is uncertain, the report says.

Mikhail Chester and Arpad Horvath inventoried on-road, rail, and air travel to determine energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and criteria air pollutant (CAP) emissions (excluding PM, lead, and ozone due to lack of data).

These older systems used chlorofluorocarbons (CFC-12) as the refrigerant gas. These were shown to be ozone-depleting, however, and were targeted for phasing out under the 1987 Montreal Protocol. The switch the HFC-134a as the preferred replacement refrigerant was rapid.

This proposal reduces emissions contributing to fine particle (PM 2.5 ) and ozone nonattainment that often travel across state lines. By 2014, the rule and other state and EPA actions would reduce SO 2 emissions by 71% over 2005 levels. burners, Selective Catalytic Reduction, or scrubbers (Flue Gas Desulfurization).
