opposing perspectives on climate change. Greenhouse Effect Because of the transparency of the atmospheric gasses to visible light‚ sunlight is able to largely penetrate the earth’s atmosphere and reach the ground‚ where it is absorbed heated up‚ and then re-emitted in the arrangement of infrared radiation. In this

WHAT IS COAL SEAM GAS (CSG)? CSG is a naturally occurring methane gas which is known as Coal Bed Methane (CBM). It is a-by product of ancient plant matter that has formed over millions of years by the same natural processes which produce coal. Not long ago this gas was identified as a major problem in the underground coal mining industry due to it’s high flammability despite this‚ it is now recognised as a very profitable resource. The coal seams are generally filled with water and it is the

Case studies in the Oil and Gas industry Piper Alpha Piper Alpha was a North Sea oil production platform operated by Occidental Petroleum (Caledonia) Ltd. The platform began production in 1976‚ first as an oil platform and then later converted to gas production. An explosion and resulting fire destroyed it on July 6‚ 1988‚ killing 167 men‚ with only 59 survivors. The death toll includes 2 crewmen of a rescue vessel. Total insured loss was about £1.7 billion (US$ 3.4 billion). At the time of

Quiz 6 Key 1. Neither N2 nor O2 are greenhouse gases because A. N2 and O2 react with one another‚ producing N2O2 when exposed to infrared radiation. B. their overall electric charge distribution does not change when they vibrate. C. infrared radiation causes their bonds to break. D. their atmospheric concentrations are not changed by human activity. Remember that greenhouse gases have a change in bond structure when interacting with infrared radiation. 2. Find the molar mass of ethanol

| Distillation is defined as: `Distillation is based on the fact that the vapor of a boiling mixture will be richer in the components that have lower boiling points.Therefore‚ when this vapor is cooled and condensed‚ the condensate will contain more volatile components. At the same time‚ the original mixture will contain more of the less volatile material. Distillation columns are designed to achieve this separation efficiently.Although many people have a fair idea what “distillation” means‚ the

Zero EmissionsSolar energy generated via solar panels (also known as Photovoltaic Solar or PV solar) is one of the most sustainable ways we have of generating energy and electricity today. First and foremost solar panels produce electricity without emissions of any kind. The majority of electricity we use in the United States today is generated from burning coal. Recently there has been a lot excitement around the idea of clean coal‚ but it is important to remember that this technology only exists as
