ICCT life-cycle analysis finds no climate benefit in using LNG as marine fuel

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 29, 2020

The results of a new analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) show that, when combined with a trend toward higher methane leakage and combustion slip, there is no climate benefit from using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel—regardless of the engine technology. First, it contains very little sulfur.

Seaweeds accumulate trace metals in such an efficient way that this process is sometimes used to clean up polluted harbors. Factors including but not limited to cultivation region, cultivation mechanism, the effects of water quality and proximity of natural mineral sources, and harvest strategy are of interest.

This puffy line is not just exhaust from the engine, but a change in the clouds that’s caused by small airborne particles of pollution. Pollution from ships creates lines of clouds that can stretch hundreds of miles. The difference helps explain how much industrial pollution influences clouds. NASA Earth Observatory.

Because of the shallow nature of large areas of the estuary the focus is on water volume or cubic miles, instead of square mileage as used in the Gulf. Aspects of weather, including wind speed, wind direction, precipitation and temperature, also affect the size of dead zones. cubic miles.

Study finds paved surfaces in Houston worsen air quality

JUNE 8, 2011

New research by a team from the US, China and Japan focusing on the Houston, Texas area suggests that widespread urban development alters weather patterns in a way that can make it easier for pollutants to accumulate during warm summer weather instead of being blown out to sea. ““The very existence of the Houston area favors stagnation.”

There is an exception to that in the category of what they call super pollutants, the very powerful but shorter-lived gases and chemicals that come from things like fertilizer production, methane. And that idea became what they call now marine cloud brightening. So those are really important, and those are a little bit different.
