Sulfur dioxide global warming

Power plant emissions result from the comhustion of fossil fuels such as coal, gas, and oil. These emissions include sulfur dioxide (SO,), nitrogen oxides (NO.,), particulate matter, and hazardous air pollutants, all of which are subject to environmental regulations. Another emission is carbon dioxide (CO,), suspected of being responsible for global warming. [Pg.443]

Natural gas will continue to be substituted for oil and coal as primary energy source in order to reduce emissions of noxious combustion products particulates (soot), unburned hydrocarbons, dioxins, sulfur and nitrogen oxides (sources of acid rain and snow), and toxic carbon monoxide, as well as carbon dioxide, which is believed to be the chief greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. Policy implemented to curtail carbon emissions based on the perceived threat could dramatically accelerate the switch to natural gas. [Pg.827]

Regarding the annual population growth, daily energy requirement, environment problems such as air pollution and global warming caused by fossil fuels (mainly due to emission of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide), high price of petroleum fuel, and reduction of the petroleum reservoir, experts are trying to find novel biofuel production methods to replace petro-diesel with biofuel. [Pg.289]
