Gas chromatography

has generated gradual but hopefully exponential progress in the desirable direction. There is currently 54 coal to gas projects in the works that would provide cleaner burning natural gas for the northwestern region of China, and eliminate some of the heavy pollutants found from burning coal. Unfortunately as we have learned the process of collecting and refining this natural form of gas can be just as atrocious as the negative effects of coal. Secondly believe it or not China has actually…

The innocence of a child is something nothing can compare to, we would never think to harm them or put them in danger. They are fragile, they have no defense other than a parents protection and love. But what if the resources they needed to survive slowly started disappearing and thing things that brought us joy were taken away from them because of the people that said they would never hurt them. Can we apologize in advance for something we turned away from because we felt it wasn 't our problem…

fracturing, is a process used to obtain natural gas from shale rock formations. This type of drilling is used with another type called “horizontal drilling” (The Pennsylvania Guide to Hydraulic Fracturing, or "Fracking). A common question that arises is “Why is fracking being done?” The answer is simple and a quote by Jeremy Grantham perfectly explains this question. The quote is “The world is using up its natural resources at an alarming rate…” Natural gas is a nonrenewable resource so the…

world. However, hydraulic fracturing for natural gas poses the greatest current threat because its potential for environmental and human damage is vast and its management is fairly unregulated. Although hydraulic fracturing, often shortened to fracking, has been around since its first…

Free Trade is a Free Pass to Oppose Climate Control Naomi Klein’s This Changes Everything Capitalism vs The Climate argues that in order to begin to solve the issue of climate change we must abandon the free market system American democracy is based upon. Klein states, “We have not done the things that are necessary to lower emissions because those things fundamentally conflict with deregulated capitalism” (Klein 18). Here, I will be focusing on the claim made by Naomi Klein that free market…

Today humans gather most of their energy from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels impact our environment. These impacts include global warming as mentioned above, air quality deterioration, oil spills, and acid rain. As a result of the excessive use of these resources, it 's predicted that they will be depleted within…

hydrogen fuel, transportation of hydrogen to the refueling stations is a major challenge, but with the recent comprehensive research by NREI, transporting energy to the stations is made possible by the mixture of both hydrogen and natural gas in the natural gas pipelines, and this comes with a low mixing rates of 3% to 5%. And due to this mixture, the emission of CO2 is drastically reduced. Furthermore, a case study regarding the transition to 100% renewable energy using hydrogen is considered.…

a process in which metal pipes are drilled miles deep into the ground. This method requires millions of gallons of water and chemicals which are injected into down the pipe thus causing rock layers called shale to break eventually releasing natural gas. Are…

energy that is currently being used is nonrenewable, which means that it will not replenish as quickly as it is being consumed. An example of a nonrenewable resource currently being used is coal and natural gas. Therefore, solar energy is a more efficient form of energy, than coal and natural gas since, solar energy is cheaper, potential issues that may arise will have easier solutions, and it will limit the amount of coal and…

The impact of human activity, which involves, but not limited to the burning of fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere, the overuse of natural resources in its present time, and the destruction of the ecological earth balance. We keep modifying the earth in different ways; consciously or subconsciously destroying our environment. Environmentalists are constantly warning us of the danger some of our activities have on our environment. The Inter-Government Panel for…
