organizations in the world are conducting research in the area of biogas‚ and it has been successful in many countries because the systems generate heat and electricity from a diverse assortment of waste‚ that eventually would decompose and release methane into the atmosphere‚ bringing benefits to the society and the environment. According to Rosenthal (2010)‚ renewable energy has become more popular throughout Europe. Kristianstad in Sweden has been particularly successful in using biogas because it

Everything you need to know about hydrocarbons INTRODUCTION: organic chemistry Organic chemistry is the chemistry of compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen. The element carbon has a special role in chemistry because it bonds with other carbon atoms to give a vast array of molecules. The varity of molecules is so great that we find organic compounds in many common products we use‚ such as gasoline‚ medicines‚ shampoos‚ plastic bottles‚ and perfumes. The food we eat is composed of different

World War III‚ Global Warming “People tend to focus on the here and now. The problem is that‚ once global warming is something that most people can feel in the course of their daily lives‚ it will be too late to prevent much larger‚ potentially catastrophic changes‚” Elizabeth Kolbert. For decades our world has been changing slowly‚ and we have felt the wrath of global warming. Recent hurricanes such as Ike‚ Wilma‚ Katrina‚ Rita‚ and now Sandy have caused many casualties‚ billions of dollars in

the Earth’s average lower atmosphere due to emissions and build up of greenhouse gases . Global warming is when the earth heats up and the temperature rises. It happens when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. Greenhouse gases are released mostly by the burning of fossil fuels for transportation‚ heating‚ electrical appliances and manufacturing‚ but they are also

ecological option. These polluting disposal facilities are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere which adds to global warming. Landfills and open dumps‚ according to studies‚ account for 34 percent of human-related methane emissions to the atmosphere‚ a global warming gas that has 23 times more heat-trapping power than carbon dioxide. These landfills and open dumps are illegal under RA 9003. Incinerators‚ on the other hand‚ have significantly higher levels

waste flour is used as feedstock‚ and can be zero if the plant uses only food wastes. This is much cheaper than LPG‚ which costs about INR 30 per day‚ even with the current subsidy of 50%. Biogas can easily replace 50% of the LPG used by a family. Methane burns with a blue flame‚ without producing any smoke or soot. It is therefore an environmentally friendly cooking system. Further reductions in pollution and energy use arise from not having to transport LPG cylinders to be re-filled. For a typical

to the use of fossil fuels and industrial processes that build up to the emission of greenhouse gasses‚ mostly carbon dioxide and methane (“Global Warming Threatens”). As energy from the sun strikes the surface of the earth‚ it turns into heat which‚ in turn‚ releases the heat as long-wave infrared radiation (Crowe). Gasses in the air‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ chlorofluorocarbons‚ and water vapor‚ trap some of this radiation as it tries to make its way back out to space (Olgesby)

Why should fracking be banned? Because liberals are an autoimmune disease that want this country to fail at any possible costs. It shouldn’t be‚ fracking doesn’t do anything with the water‚ studies have proven that‚ plus "Green cars" actually leave a bigger biological footprint. It shouldn’t. Low information people are scared because they are being lied to. Because coal miners don’t like it. Power plant companies are making a transition from coal to natural gas due to fracking‚ and we’re putting

reaction‚ alkane can release a very large amount of heat and the product yield from this reaction is H2O (water)‚ and CO2 (carbon dioxide) or CO (carbon monoxide)‚ in which depends on whether the reaction is complete or incomplete. The first 4 alkanes‚ Methane‚ ethane‚ propane‚ and butane‚ are gases and can be used directly as fuel. Alkanes from pentane up to about decane can form gasoline in a specific proportion of mixture. Alkanes that have higher values of n can be found in diesel fuel‚ petroleum jelly
