Methane

Certain breeds of cattle emit less methane; for instance, western cattle produces 120kg of methane a year, whereas non-western cattle produces only 60kg of methane a year, as showed in Figure 5. The table in Figure 6 indicates that farmers can also directly reduce the amount of methane produced up to 10% in short term by different dairy feed sources. In terms of adaptation, selective breeding can also be used…

gases are also a proponent of climate change, such as methane, nitrous oxide, and hydro fluorocarbons. Most methane emissions come from gas systems, cattle and landfills, and nitrous oxide comes from agriculture. This broadens the field of what should be taxed by lawmakers and which resources are best suited to be included in the tax. “Policymakers must address the fact that greenhouse gases differ in their chemical and atmospheric properties. Methane, for example, traps more heat,…

As Coal seam gas also named as coal-bed methane (CBM) (Hamawand & Yusaf & Hamawand, 2012), methane will leakage into the atmosphere during the extracting process. Methane is also a greenhouse gas, CSG not that serious as the traditional energy resources, but still not the cleanest energy resource. According to Carey (2012), this type of gas will also lead to air pollution. Places where freaking CSG usually measured higher levels of methane and carbon dioxide. Also, during the extraction…

start to melt the sea levels rise, which means that the world 's ice-free land space will decrease. It is greenhouse gases [carbon dioxide, methane] which cause an increase in global temperatures. A staggering 51% or more of our world’s greenhouse gas emission are caused directly by animal culture. Methane one of the leading contributors to climate change. Methane is 25-100 times more destructive than carbon dioxide during a 20 year time frame. It is scary to think that everyday cattle are…

rainforest which normally would be a positive. Instead they flooded the rainforest to “create requisite water mass and vertical drop to drop drive the generator” (McDonough & Braungart, 2013). The wood and vegetation created methane as they were soaking in the water. the methane emissions caused more greenhouse gases then were offset. Even though this was a bad design they haven’t failed they simply found a way that didn’t work, why give up…

Using Landfills vs. Recycling: Which Is More of a Waste? The method of using landfills to dispose of waste has been used for many centuries. The trend of recycling has been a growing alternative process in the past few decades. With the average person generating more than 4.3 pounds of waste each day, it is important for people to understand which method will serve as a viable procedure for a more sustainable world (Center for Sustainability & Commerce ). Yet, these two methods are known to…

Task 8 Animal Agriculture Did you know that animal agriculture is responsible for more than 18% of greenhouse gas emissions? That's more than the combined exhaust from all transportation! Transportation exhaust is responsible for 13% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Livestock is responsible for 65% of all human-related emissions of nitrous oxide (a greenhouse gas with 296 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide, which stays in the atmosphere for 150 years. That is a lot going on and…

temperature is rising which as a result causes us to experience a lot of abnormal climate changes worldwide. The cause of this increase of temperature is the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is constructed by water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone.The greenhouse effect is when the gasses trap the sunlight, not making them bounce back to space, which creates the atmosphere to warm, thus making Earth hotter. What’s responsible for realising a large amount of carbon dioxide is the…

chemically treated water and sand at extremely high pressure to fracture the rock and extract natural gas, a non-renewable fossil fuel used as a source of energy for heating, cooking, electricity generation, and as fuel for vehicles. Natural gas, mainly methane (CH4), is thought to be a relatively clean burning…

CHEMISTRY STAGE 1: ISSUE INVESTIGATION In this issue investigation, the essay will be focussed on and discussing the beneficial and non-beneficial of fuel cells and associating it with fossil fuels. But first, you might query what fuel cells and fossil is? Well fuel cell is an electrochemical energy stratagem that converts hydrogen fuel as well as oxygen to produce electricity, heat and water. While on the other hand fossil fuel are the products fossils that are really old. For instance the…
