The greenhouse gas implications of land-use conversion differ substantially between the two scenarios, but in both, numerous biodiversity hotspots suffer from serious habitat loss, the study found. Despite the loss of pastures, the intensification of land use allows nearly as much production of food as in the deforestation scenario.

Increasing evidence suggests that biomass can be used much more efficiently (and therefore with less environmental impact) through direct combustion to generate electricity and heat, rather than being converted to liquid fuels such as ethanol. No study in the review presents results in terms of biodiversity. Ravindranath et al.

If you want to heat up a space that is cold, there are a number of options, from burning a fuel to directly converting electricity into heat (i.e. To convert between the two, the ratio is 1 W = 3.412 BTU / hr. A at 115 VAC, or 586 W, which works out to a COP of 3.0

Can advanced semiconductors cut emissions of greenhouse gases enough to make a difference in the struggle to halt climate change? The rise of GaN and SiC power electronics will ultimately have a greater positive impact on the planet’s climate than will the replacement of incandescent and other legacy lighting by GaN LEDs.

Because of methane leakage from the natural gas infrastructure, a shift to natural gas vehicles from gasoline or diesel vehicles could lead to greater radiative forcing of the climate—i.e., Recent reports in the scientific literature and popular press have produced confusion about the climate implications of natural gas.

Each megasat could then convert gigawatts of power into a microwave beam aimed precisely at a big field of receiving antennas on Earth. These rectennas would then convert the signal to usable DC electricity. The glamorous vision has inspired numerous futuristic proposals. Japan’s space agency has presented a road map to deployment.
