Do planes produce more CO2 than cars?
I would presume so, Much higher fuel consumption so higher emissions.
Does geothermal energy help fix pollution?
Yes. Geothermal energy is clean and renewable, so it decreases the use of fossil fuels and reduces CO2 emissions.
Is the greatest source of air pollution volcanic eruptions or burning fossil fuels?
Definitely the burning of fossil fuels. Volcanoes emit around 100,000,000 tons of CO2 a year. Man-made emissions of CO2 comes to about 10,000,000,000 tons of CO2 per year. So volcanoes emit around 1/100th of CO2 that we do.
Why is it important that catalytic converters start working at as low a temperature as possible?
Catalytic converters are used to reduce emissions, however they only work at high temperatures, while they are warming up they do not reduce emissions, so the quicker they are functioning, the lower the emissions will be.
Why is the average daily temperature in Venus so high?
It has a very thick atmosphere of Methane and CO2.
What are the advantages of a nuclear power plant?
It doesn't produce emissions of CO2 or other greenhouse gases, and the fuel is available and not in short supply, so the price is more stable than for fossil fuels.
How does CCS reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that are released when coal is burned?
CCS or Carbon Capture and Storage reduces the greenhouse gas emissions that are released through the burning coal in three ways. The first is pre-combustion capture where the fuel is converted into a mix of CO2 and hydrogen gas so the hydrogen can be burnt off an the CO2 is then compressed ready for transport. The second is post combustion where a liquid solvent captures the CO2 that is separated in the process. The third is Oxyfuel combustion where oxygen is used for the fuel combustion making it easier separate a stream of CO2 in a high purity.
High CO2 Count in a blood test?
at a co2 of 100 or so the person will be confused and sleepy. The lungs taking in the oxygen are not exhaling forcefully enough to expel the co2. This is usually due to lung problems such as COPD
Why is it necessary to use sustainable energy options?
Because fossil fuels are not infinite, they will eventually be used up and we shall have to use alternatives. Also we want to reduce emissions of CO2, so it's best to try to use sustainable non CO2 emitting fuels to a greater extent.
What can you conclude about carbon dioxide emissions into today's atmosphere?
Co2 traps heat. therefore the more Co2 in the air the more heat we will collect and build up untill the tempiture gets so unstable that the atmosphere will tear compleatly appart and space will vacume out all gasses on the surface.
What are the fossil fuels that causes very little pollution?
Modern power plants do not produce any smog or harmful emissions other than Carbon Dioxide, and in vehicles the amount of harmful toxins has much more to do with the types of filters the exhaust system utilises than the type of fuel that is used. So I am assuming that by "pollution" you mean Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. The real answer to your question then is "none", as they all produce significant amounts of CO2 emissions. A possible exception is Hydrogen, as it produces no CO2 during combustion whatsoever. However, it is not commercially exploited as a fossil fuel due to the limited quantity in fossil deposits and its high volatility. The least amount of CO2 emission per unit of energy produced would be natural gas, followed by liquid hydrocarbons like petrol, diesel and kerosene. The most CO2 intensive fuel, and one of the most widely used, is brown coal. A relatively newly exploited fuel that also produces immense amounts of CO2 throughout its life cycle is Tar sands (bituminous sands).
How is co2 used in paintballing?
at Paintball arena in Fun Addaa, Pune you can play paintball using Co2 and compressed air as well, Co2 is used to give the paintballs extra pressure so that it can travell with a high velocity.
