As humans progressively use more and more oil‚ our supply of oil goes down. The depletion of oil has become a problem that people are addressing constantly. Many alternative forms of energy have been developed but no method has proved totally efficient and economic. However‚ Methanol could prove to be the solution the human race is looking for. Methanol could be used to replace gasoline in our cars for future years to come. Methanol is easy to make because it originates from our trash and biomass

Review paper. Catalysts analysis for MSW pyrolysis and gasification Tursunov Obida‚ Khairuddin Md Isaa‚ Dr. Ong Soon Ana aSchool of Environmental Engineering‚ University Malaysia Perlis UniMAP‚ Arau 02600‚ Perlis‚ Malaysia Abstract MSW pyrolysis and gasification are the possible alternative to the direct use of fossil fuel energy. MSW‚ a CO2 neutral source of renewable fuel‚ can contribute to the demand for heat‚ electricity and synthesis gas (syngas). Nevertheless‚ there are inefficiencies in

Agriculture‚ "One acre of forest absorbs six tons of carbon dioxide and puts out four tons of oxygen. This is enough to meet the annual needs of 18 people." Trees‚ shrubs and turf also filter air by removing dust and absorbing other pollutants like carbon monoxide‚ sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. After trees intercept unhealthy particles‚ rain washes them to the ground. Trees control climate by moderating the effects of the sun‚ rain and wind. Leaves absorb and filter the sun’s radiant energy‚ keeping

The lime industry is a significant carbon dioxide emitter. The manufacture of one tonne of calcium oxide involves decomposing calcium carbonate‚ with the formation of 785 kg of CO2 in some applications‚ such as when used as mortar; this CO2 is later re-adsorbed as the mortar goes off. Additionally‚ if the heat supplied to form the lime (3.75 MJ/kg in an efficient kiln) is obtained by burning fossil fuel it will release CO2: in the case of coal fuel 295 kg/t; in the case of natural gas fuel 206 kg/t

Comes from motors such as generators and air compressors. CPR to save victim. * Electrical shock – Use a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)[a very sensitive circuit breaker] * Ladders- use fiberglass ladders

Thermochemical Biomass Gasification – A Review of Technologies Abstract Gasification (in the context of this paper) is an energy process that produces a gas which can be used to substitute fossil fuels. It is a process which enhances biomass’ usefulness as a renewable resource as the product gas (syngas) can easily be transported along existing gas pipelines‚ and can either be mixed with‚ or used as a replacement for natural gas combustion in gas turbines for power and heat generation. Syngas

Cobalt(II) Oxygen adduct complex Inorganic 461 lab 2-29-2012 Abstract This experiment uses Co(salen) as a model compound illustrating the uptake of oxygen in hemoglobin. SalenH2 was prepared as the intermediate‚ and reacted with hydrated cobalt to prepare Co(salen). Using Co(salen) the oxygen up-take was tested. The synthesis of SalenH2 produced 0.65 g. The percent yield of salenH2 was 116% on the filter paper and 105% after transferring salenH2 to a vial. The melting point of salenH2‚ was
