CARBON EMISSIONS OVER A YEAR AND PRATICAL REDUCTION METHODS Michael Pratt‚ Brandon Brown 1School of Electrical and Computer Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta‚ GA 30332 ABSTRACT The average American citizen consumes energy over the course of a year which contributes to mankind’s total carbon emissions. Given current studies on the effects of Global Warming and carbon emissions‚ it is beneficial to analyze ways to reduce energy usage‚ and thus carbon emissions. The

Carbon‚ Phosphorus and Nitrogen Cycles Humans have a great impact on each of the Carbon‚ Phosphorus‚ and Nitrogen cycles in the Ecosystem. The carbon cycle starts with the reservoir of the carbon dioxide in the air‚ the carbon atoms move from carbon dioxide through photosynthesis into atoms of organic molecules that form the plants body. These carbon atoms are then further metabolized and are eaten and turned into tissue that all organisms in the ecosystem use. Half of the atoms are respired

Black carbon is one of the top ten contributory to global and regional warming. Due to the lack of major companies failing to adhere to strict state and local guidelines. These studies have shown the mixing of aerosols and black carbon traveling many miles from 3 to 5 kilometers‚ causing the carbon dioxide emissions to exceed normal regional and local state levels. Many people are medically affected from upper respiratory illnesses/ allergy issues. This effect causes people to lose time from work

many ways. The carbon cycle humans have impact the most. By burning fossil fuels we have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by at least 35%. (Boorse‚ 2011). The impact that humans have had on this cycle has change many different elements of the natural environment. An example is the ozone layer is slowly being thinned out‚ which in turn is heating up the atmosphere of the earth. The thinning of the ozone layer is leading to changes with water level. The natural changes to the carbon cycle have been

5.3.7 Effect of carbon supplements Supplementation of sugars‚ which may act either as carbon sources or inducers‚greatly affect the growth of microorganism. In case of CMCase‚out of the supplemented sugars‚glucose‚sucrose‚maltose‚lactose‚wheatbran and CMC‚ wheat bran show maximum increase in enzyme production. On addition of glucose‚ maltose‚ lactose‚wheat bran and xylan‚ the maltose resulted in an increment in xylanase production (24.96 IU/ml) by SmF. An induction in the enzyme production/activity

CARBON CREDITS The concept of carbon credits came into existence as a result of increasing awareness of the need for controlling emissions. The mechanism was formalized in the Kyoto Protocol‚ an international agreement between more than 170 countries. The Protocol agreed has fixed quotas on the maximum amount of Greenhouse gases which can be emitted by the developed and developing countries. In turn these countries set quotas on the emissions of installations run by local business and other organizations

Experiment 2: Aerobic Respiration in Beans We will evaluate respiration in beans by comparing carbon dioxide production between germinated and nongerminated beans. As shown in the balanced equation for cellular respiration‚ one of the byproducts is CO2 (carbon dioxide): C6H12O6 + 6 H2O + 6 O2 → energy + 6 CO2 + 12 H2O We will use a carbon dioxide indicator ( bromothymol blue) to show oxygen is being consumed and carbon dioxide is being released by the beans. Bromothymol blue is an indicator that turns yellow
