Carbon is a very important element‚ in fact‚ life could not exist without it. Carbon (C on the periodic table) is a chemical element and is the sixth most abundant element in the world. Carbon is the 6th element on the periodic table in group 14‚ period 6‚ it has six protons‚ six electrons‚ and six neutrons‚ with an atomic mass of 12.01u. Carbon has a boiling point

The allotropes of carbon are diamond‚ graphite‚ fullerenes‚ carbon nanotubes‚ carbon nanobuds‚ amorphous carbon‚ glassy carbon‚ lonsdaleite‚ and carbon nanofoam. Diamond is the best know allotrope of carbon. It is the hardest known natural mineral which makes it very rough. In the structure of the diamond‚ each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms and

Gujrati Commerce Collage‚ Indore Abstract Carbon Trading are generated by enterprises in the developing world that shift to cleaner technologies and thereby consumption‚ consequently reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. For each tone of carbon dioxide (the major GHG) emission avoided‚ the entity can get a carbon emission certificate which they can sell either immediately or through a futures market

A carbon tax is a tax imposed on the carbon content of fuels. It is a form of carbon pricing. Carbon taxes are a possible cost-effective means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. From an economic outlook‚ carbon taxes are a type of Pigovian tax.They help to address the problem of emitters of greenhouse gases not face the full social costs of their actions. Carbon taxes can be a degenerating tax‚ in that it may directly or indirectly affect low-income groups disproportionately. The regressive impact

Carbon monoxide‚ or CO for short‚ is a flammable‚ colorless‚ odorless‚ tasteless gas that is produced during incomplete combustion of fuel and it’s ability to do harm resides within the lack of knowledge and understanding of this gas by society. To remain safe from carbon monoxide poisoning‚ one must comprehend

2013 Carbon Footprint Until very recently‚ most people had never heard of a “carbon footprint.” Now‚ all of a sudden‚ the phrase is hard to avoid. In an age of slick slogans‚ fast fashions and fickle fads it’s easy to assume that this is just another quirky passing gimmick. But it could well be the most important concept of our time. A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted as a direct or indirect result of an activity (Yarrow‚ Joanna. How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint:

Carbon tax is an environmental tax levied on the carbon content of fuels. It is a form of carbon pricing. Carbon is present in every hydrocarbon fuel ‚ such as coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas. It is then released as carbon dioxide (CO2) when they are burnt. In contrast‚ non-combustion energy sources—wind‚sunlight‚ hydropower‚ and nuclear—do not convert hydrocarbons to CO2. CO2 is a heat-trapping "greenhouse" gas. Scientists have debated and discussed the potential effects on the climate system of
