Scientists report in an open access paper this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) that river and stream networks are the source of at least 10% of human-caused nitrous oxide emissions to the atmosphere. This new global emission estimate is startling. Beaulieu et al. PNAS doi: 10.1073/pnas.1011464108.

The 23-foot gasoline-electric hybrid buses—a size smaller than heavy urban transit buses—are part of a national pilot program to speed commercialization of these vehicles, which are expected to yield 30% to 40% reductions in fuel use with an accompanying 30% reduction in emissions.

Auxiliary power to docked ships, usually provided by on-board diesel engines, is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, accounting for one-third to one-half of the in-port emissions attributed to ocean-going vessels. In addition, switching to grid-based power doesn’t eliminate emissions.

A limit was imposed on emissions from the power plants, and utilities were allowed to buy and sell permits to comply. These reductions in power plant emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and nitrogen oxides (NO x ) were achieved at a significantly lower cost than originally assumed. greenhouse gas emissions.
