British Petroleum (BP) is a global energy company that provides transport fuel, lubricants, petrochemicals and energy for heat and lighting and a pioneer in renewable energy among peers in oil and gas (BP 2017b). Sustainability initiatives may be traced back to 1997 as shown in figure 1 while reporting can be traced back to 1998 for which exists the earliest accessible report on BP’s website. International guidelines from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4’s core option, the United…

Different technologies are available for the treatment of gaseous streams containing VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), namely catalytic or homogeneous combustion, absorption, adsorption, etc. The goal is either to recover the VOCs, or to destroy them, thus avoiding, in both cases, their emission into the atmosphere. The treatment of “lean” streams, where the concentration of the VOCs is particularly low (e.g. lower than 1% v/v), is a particularly challenging case study as the low concentration…

Energy is one of the most important material sources for modern human survival. If there is no energy, our world will be drown in the endless darkness; if there is no energy, human beings cannot get over the cold winter, as well as hot summer; if there is no energy, all the modern vehicles will lose the source of power, human beings cannot move fast between different districts around the world. Therefore, the development and utilization of energy is under consideration by every country around…

Abstract As vehicular pollution is increasing in the environment because of the hazardous CO2 and other carbon compound emissions and other harmful pollutants that are emitted by the vehicles puts a negative impact on the atmosphere. Society has been making a large effort to make everything green and cleaner in today’s world, including transportation. Buying a car is big investment and requires the consideration of many different variables. With the growing interest in saving our planet, many…

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 burning of fossils fuels. The Chevron Richmond refinery is known to burn fossil fuels to generate energy throughout Richmond, Ca. Since the Chevron Richmond refinery burns a lot of fossil fuels, it releases a lot of carbon dioxide.…

The effect of caffeine on the heart rate of Daphnia pulex Introduction In this experiment the effect of caffeine on the heart rate of Daphnia will be tested by use of a microscope and caffeine solution. Daphnia pulex is a crustaceous animal found in the ocean. There internal organs can be visible to observe because their body is translucent. This would be interesting because we could see how the effect of caffeine effects the heart rate of humans as well. Carrie miller from university of…

Have you considered changing your diet? It’s easier said than done- an average college student may have difficulties think about it, taking on a new diet isn’t simple. Although commitment may seem like a hassle, it comes with benefits as well. Not only does a person become healthier but it changes their lifestyle completely. A person’s mood changes on a daily basis, and so does their energy level, which affects how they feel about themselves. The locavore diet is a completely new distinguished…

Automotive companies should make more fuel efficient engines. If they do then people with them will save. With a fuel efficient engine people will spend less money on gas. People will be able to travel further. When traveling with a fuel efficient engine you will be able to travelling further. The vehicle will run smoother on roads. When driving on a road there will be less gas flowing to the engine which means you won't feel it. Driving with a fuel efficient engine will make it smoother on…

dinosaurs were cold blooded they would not have been able to survive the horrible winters. Unlike mammals today, dinosaurs were not able to hibernate because they were unable to keep their body temperature level and they were too big. Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could make the climate too hot. It could affect the sex of the eggs because it is determined by incubation temperature. The population would have been altered if the hot weather slowed down the male sperm, causing no…

There are many different types of driving throughout the given year. The times of the year though where driving is most different is during winter and summer. They are many different things you must do and obstacles you must go through during these two seasons of the year. In the summer you have a couple different things that you must deal with.
