Green house emissions

One of the most crihcal performance characterishcs of the commercial boiler burner is a level of green house emissions such as nitric oxides and carbon monoxide. The combushon product is typically sampling from the exhaust porhon of the test setup (laboratory) or exhaust ductwork (field) and then is being prepared (cooled, dried, filtered) and forwarded to the appropriate gas analytical equipment. Figure 19.8 illustrates the set of the analyhcal equipment typically used for the burner testing at the GTI Applied Combushon Research Facility.

Many countries are enacting policy measures in support of biofuels and for green-house-gas emissions reduction in the transport sector. The most important policy measures at the time of writing for the EU and the USA are given below. For an overview of worldwide policy support measures for biofuels, see the EC (2006) the IEA (2006b) and Martinot el al. (2006). 

The primary issue then is to either use these resources or replace them so as to reduce the emission of green house gasses. The search for processes that reduce...

It should be remembered that despite their high GWPs, fluorinated gases make a relatively minor contribution (ca. 1%) to the total GWP of mankind s emissions (see in this series, the chapters of R. Tuckett and A. Sekiya et at. devoted to the green house effect of SF5CF3 and to CFCs and HCFCs substitutes, respectively). 

Psia, (b) co-current CO2 rinse at that pressure with recycle of effluent gas as feed, (c) counter-current evacuation to - 2.5 Psia with simultaneous steam pui e, and (d) counter-current pressurization with a part of CO2 depleted product gas from step (a). The effluent gas from step (c) is partly used as the purge gas in step (b) after recompression, and the balance is withdrawn as the recovered CO2 product gas. The inert gas and CO2 recoveries from the feed gas are, respectively, - 100 and 78% [21]. This application may be attractive for green house gas emission control (CO2 sequestration from a hot flue gas or CO2 removal from combustion gases for power generation).

The 25-year, effort to reduce the emissions from automobiles has greatly benefited the air quality over major cities. Even with this success, more needs to be done. None of the successful efforts has had a large impact on the emission of carbon dioxide. Many of the pollution control schemes used on automobiles actually slightly increase the emission of carbon dioxide. Burning natural gas verses coal reduces the sulfur emissions of power plants. It also slightly reduces the emission of carbon dioxide because natural gas has the least carbon and the most hydrogen of any of the fossil fuels. Unfortunately, increased use of natural gas will also increase the quantity that can escape into the atmosphere. Methane, the major component of natural gas is a potent green house gas.

The solar-thermal process is enviromnentally friendly. The most environmentally friendly option is when selling carbon black into the tire carbon black market as the energy and pollution associated with normal carbon black production are avoided. If carbon is fed to a carbon conversion fuel cell, the total green house gas emissions are still 60% of those of a steam reformer and the bulk of the released CO2 is in a pure form so it can be easily sequestered. 

Another interesting question that is raised regarding automotive catalytic converters is the formation of secondary emissions. In this study main emphasis was put on the nitrogen containing molecules NH3 and N2O, the latter of which becomes more and more important due to it s green house effect potential. First the NH3-formation is compared for the Pt/Rh- and the stabilized Pd-system, see Figure 5.

Impact of environmental risk Environmental risk related to distribution system components can both have a local impact, affecting the sites being close to the scene of the incident / accident, and a global impact, since some pollutants have a global impact e.g. emissions the green house gas SFe used in various types of switchgear.
