What is the difference between carbon credits and Certified emissions rate?
Certified emission rates are a limit on the amount of emissions a company can release into the atmosphere within a given time frame. It is a cap on the emissions itself.Carbon credits looks more at the net carbon emissions. There are companies that plant trees, which reduce the amount of carbon in the air. For their good deeds, they get carbon credits, which they sell to companies that emit carbon. The carbon credits work to offset the actual amount of emissions a company puts out.Note that carbon credits cancel out the emissions, but don't lower emissions at all, unlike a cap on emission rates.
Is geothermal energy carbon neutral?
Yes. There are no carbon dioxide emissions from a geothermal power plant. Only the heat from underground providing steam to generate electricity.
How does afforestation offset global warming?
Forests absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and store the carbon. A company or country emitting CO2 can plant trees to 'offset', or counterbalance their emissions. They may find it cheaper to do this rather than to reduce their emissions. Through afforestation they reduce their carbon footprint, and raise their standing among their peers.
Is a solar power plant pollution free?
Basically yes. Once it is running there are no carbon dioxide or other emissions. This is what makes it such an excellent generator of electricity.
Why is geothermal energy superior?
Once the plant is set upIt is freeIt is renewable energyIt doesn't add to global warming with harmful carbon dioxide emissions.
Why do countries use geothermal energy?
Once the plant is set upIt is freeIt is renewable energyIt doesn't add to global warming with harmful carbon dioxide emissions.
What are three advantages of using geothermal energy?
Once the plant is set upIt is freeIt is renewable energyIt doesn't add to global warming with harmful carbon dioxide emissions.
Develop your own policy to reduce UK carbon dioxide emissions by 80% by 2050?
Grow more green plant life. Reason; plants breath in carbon dioxide, and exhale oxygen.
Does a electrical hot water system emit carbon?
It all depends on where the electricity to power the water heater comes from. If it is from a coal or natural gas power plant, then it indirectly causes carbon emissions. If it comes from a wind, hydroelectric or atomic plant, then it does not cause carbon emissions. But, the wind plants kill birds, the hydroelectric plants totally wreck the environment where the dam is built and will silt up over time and then there is the problem of what to do with the spent fuel rods from the atomic power plant. So, my advice is to just use a solar water heater on the roof of your house and avoid all problems.
Give an example of a technology for cleaning up power plant emissions?
Technology will not help. Trees and plants are powerful and will take all the power plant emissions right out of the air.
What are two harmful effects on the atmosphere if you smoke?
Second-hand cigarette smoke which can contribute to lung cancer in non-smokers.Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning tobacco. Strictly this is part of the carbon cycle, as the carbon dioxide was recently removed from the atmosphere when the tobacco plant grew.
Why is alga considered to be a plant?
Algae are considered to be plantlike because they have all the functions of a plant but have no leaves, stems, or roots.
