To cap means to stop, to put a cap on something. If an industry is producing greenhouse gas, then the government will legislate a cap, meaning it will only be allowed to produce this much greenhouse gas. "Capping greenhouse gas emissions" is the point at which greenhouse gas emissions stop. Each year the cap will be lowered so greenhouse gas emissions will start to decline.
Fossil fuels are naturally occurring deposits that formed through the transformation of peat through time, heat, and compression. Fossil fuel deposits can be mined or drilled, such as coal and oil. Coal and oil have been and are extensively used for fuel, heating, electricity, manufacturing, etc. In the past, the USA used coal so heavily that many towns were blanketed under a cloud of smoke that was riddled with carbon dioxide and other illness-creating chemicals. Many Asian countries still heavily use fossil fuels.
Emissions are any discharge of smoke, chemicals, and particles that are released during the use of fossil fuels. Coal, oil, diesel, and gas all burn efficiently and at low cost, but the process of heating creates "gas emissions". Even cars produce heat as part of the engine mechanism, which in turn changes the gas and oil in the vehicle into a gaseous by-product.
Scientists believe that the gas emissions produced by burning fossil fuels has had and continues to have long-term effects on the planet. The emissions settle in the higher stratosphere, where the particles block the sun, thus causing a "greenhouse effect". Even the oceans rely on the air and atmosphere to keep water levels consistent. Scientists believe that the greenhouse gas emissions are causing a higher and faster rate of melting of the ice shelf. Large ice flows are melting, which then raises the water level in the oceans and thus, can change air streams, ocean currents, and the weather produced. For example, scientists believe greenhouse gases can cause more hurricanes and severe weather.
The idea of "cutting greenhouse emissions" is two-fold. One, countries need to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and develop alternative energy sources. But, we've seen there are also problems with nuclear generated energy. Second, countries need to reduce the total daily emissions from all the ways that humans use and burn fossil fuels.
So, authorities suggest that the following ideas can help cut greenhouse gas emissions and / or the effects of using fossil fuels:
Every time you see smoke being emitted into the community, you should ask yourself what measures are used or could be used to reduce/cut greenhouse emissions. As long as humans need electricity, heating, and transportation, we will face issues of the damages caused by burning fossil fuels.
An ice cap is a mass of ice that covers less than 50,000 kilometers. They can usually be found in highland areas.
Buy a lower emissions vehicle or take public transportation.
If you mean how well there's a bunch of ways. like recycle or ride bikes to reduce emissions and many other forms of green actions.
These are the emissions:
passing laws requiring reduction in emissions
it's talking about the emissions system. it is probably just a loose gas cap
Evaporative emissions large leak, check for loose gas cap or a broken vaccum line from the tank to the engine.Evaporative emissions large leak, check for loose gas cap or a broken vaccum line from the tank to the engine.
usually this means the gas cap is not on tight or is leaking
Most likely, this is taken out of context. You may mean Evaporative Emissions Control Vent which refers to the function of equalizing the pressure within the fuel tank and atmospheric air. ; it is normally caused by a loose gas cap
make sure gas cap is on all the way or missing cap ,this car must have a gas cap or computer will read [large] emissions leak or emission gas cap, hope this works!
Large evaporative emissions leak. Check the gas cap and all the lines going from the engine to the fuel tank.
To control emissions a cupola may be fitted with a cap that is designed to pull the gases into a device to cool the gases and remove particulate matter
P0440 OBDII code is for evaporative emissions control system failure.. check your gas cap though, many times a loose gas cap is the culprit with this code, hope this helps some1 out.
This happened to me too. The emissions test broke the diaphragm in the gas cap. Bought a new gas cap and it fixed everything.
what does emissions garage mean on a vw touran
It is the Check Engine light. It comes on when the ECU detects a problem with the emissions system. Can be as simple as a loose gas cap or can be serious. Have the ECU scanned.
EVAP (Evaporative Emissions) system failure could be caused by a loose gas cap. Inspect gas cap to make sure it is fastened properly. Go here for more info: http://www.2carpros.com/kpages/reading_diagnostic_codes.htm
