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

Carbon is one of the most essential elements in life. Carbon makes up the building block of all living things including proteins‚ lipids‚ nucleic acid and carbohydrates. Carbon also can be found abundantly distributed in a nonliving environment‚ in the atmosphere as Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ natural gas‚ dead organic matter and coal in the ground. Carbon is cycled and maintained a stable concentration in the through the earth’s lithosphere‚ atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ antrosphere and biosphere undergoing

The Carbon CycleCarbon is the basis for all life on earth. This essay will explain the role of carbon dioxide in various parts of the carbon cycle. This essay will examine two main‚ and important parts of the carbon cycle‚ starting by explaining the role of the ocean in absorbing carbon. Next this essay will examine the human influences on the carbon cycle and human production of carbon dioxide. Thirdly this essay will explain what controls thecarbon dioxide concentration. The ocean holds a vast

Carbon Emission and it’s Issues Recently‚ the amount of carbon emissions reached 40 billion tons. This is a record high‚ and is very damaging for Earth and humans alike. Carbon emission is a serious issue that can affect all of us in the near future. It is very harmful to the environment‚ but can also be delayed. Carbon emission is the total amount of carbon dioxide that are released in the air. There are natural and unnatural reasons for this. Nature‚ releases carbon dioxide‚ one of the most common

Why life chose Carbon? It is the second most abundant element in the human body-18% of the wet weight. Molecules based on carbon-known as organic molecules because of their occurrence in living matter-constitute the majority of molecules found in living organisms from plants to people. 1 of the 4 special features of carbon is that carbon atoms are able to bond with each other to form extended chains-sharing pairs of electrons with neighbouring carbon atoms which allow the formation of stable covalent

allotropic forms of Carbon (Diamond and Graphite) Graphite and Diamond both are formed from carbon (two allotropic forms of carbon). Though they have similar constituent element‚ they differ a lot in their properties. Diamond is a good thermal conductor but a bad electrical conductor‚ while graphite is a bad thermal conductor but a good electrical conductor. This is one example of their property difference. The difference in their properties arises because of different arrangement of carbon atoms present

Market Failure and Carbon Prices Climate change has become an issue of global discussion and it is the result of market failure. The effects of the increasing volume of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases on the global temperature have become a major environmental issue throughout the world. Carbon emissions worldwide need to be reduced in order to avoid serious climate change. To encourage companies to invest in cleaner technology and reduce carbon emissions‚ the government has to attach a cost

Abstract: The chemical and physical conditions used in the preparation of activated carbon‚ an adsorbent used in water filtration influence the specific surface area and the porosity. In this study‚ coconut shell was used as the raw material and activation reagents such as Hydrochloric acid‚ Zinc Chloride and Phosphoric Acid were used. A single burn and double burn process was carried out for each method. The activated carbon obtained was compared in terms of absorption capacity‚ bulk density‚ BET specific
