  • DaAi Headlines 20100820 Environmentally friendly air conditioners China is one of main carbon production countries in the world, with its northeast regions producing the most greenhouse gases. That is because the region's winter lasts six months long. To survive, people rely on boilers heated by coal. Scholars and researchers have long since looked for an eco-friendly alternative to coal, and now we introduce you to a system that relies on underground sewage to help regulate temperatures. ( NE winter more than 6 months long ) Summer in China's northeastern city of Harbin -- the Provincial Capital of Heilongjiang Province -- is enjoyable, but short. Winter begins in October, covering the region in thick layers of snow that last until the next March. HIT Civil & Envtl. Eng. School, Prof. Sun Dexing: " Most heating in Harbin is provided by boilers, which provide heating for a whole district. For every square meter of area being heated in winter, 40 kilos of coal is consumed over the course of the winter. As the coal burns, the carbon dioxide produced is multiplied by three, which means 120 kilos are discharged for every square meter. There is no way to reduce carbon emissions with these methods." ( Heating causes emissions ) For every kilo of coal burned, three kilos of carbon dioxide is released into the air. With limited supplies of natural energy source in the world, how will northeast China endure its frigid winter, while still remaining environmentally friendly? HIT Civil & Envtl. Eng.

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. Digitization Date: 1996; Digitizing Organization: Carnegie Mellon University Informedia Project. Natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel consisting primarily of methane but including significant quantities of ethane, propane, butane, and pentane—heavier hydrocarbons removed prior to use as a consumer fuel —as well as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium and hydrogen sulfide. It is found in oil fields (associated) either dissolved or isolated in natural gas fields (non associated), and in coal beds (as coalbed methane). When methane-rich gases are produced by the anaerobic decay of non-fossil organic material, these are referred to as biogas. Sources of biogas include swamps, marshes, and landfills, as well as sewage sludge and manure by way of anaerobic digesters, in addition to enteric fermentation particularly in cattle. Approximately 22 percent of the energy consumption of the US comes from natural gas. More than 62.5 percent of the homes in the US use natural gas as their main heating fuel. Natural gas is also an essential raw material for many common products, such as: paints , fertilizer, plastics, antifreeze, dyes, photographic film, medicines, and explosives.

  • Navy Secretary Ray Mabus - Interview Navy Secretary Ray Mabus believes that the US military can jump-start the clean energy revolution. "If we can begin to get this energy from different places and from different sources, then I think you can flip the line from 'Field of Dreams': If the Navy comes, they will build it. If we provide the market, then I think you'll begin to see the infrastructure being built, the price per kilowatt-hour come down." The Navy's carbon footprint is vast -- it operates 290 ships, owns 75200 buildings on 3.3 million acres of land -- but, against this profligacy, the Navy announced an ambitious plan last fall to slash fuel use and carbon emissions. "Within 10 years, the United States Navy will get one-half of all its energy needs, both afloat and ashore, from non-fossil fuel sources," Mabus says. Mabus also serves as President Obama's point person for recovery in the Gulf. Work is needed, he says, to modernize the technology by which oil companies respond to spills, and to update the legal structure under which they operate. "Obviously, the cap that was placed on oil companies, which was $70 million, did not anticipate anything remotely like this incident. The legal structure ... needs to be updated to take into account realities as they exist today," Mabus says. Asked by Climate One's Greg Dalton what an appropriate dollar figure for the liability cap might be, Mabus replied: "I'm not sure there needs to be a cap."

  • Electric fuel sources for the future: Increasing natural gas and wind; decades later, nuclear 1/1/2011 - (Excerpts)"Coal is a dead man walkin'," says Kevin Parker, global head of asset management and a member of the executive committee at Deutsche Bank. "Banks won't finance them. Insurance companies won't insure them. The EPA is coming after them. . . . And the economics to make it clean don't work." From 2000 to 2008, construction started on 20 units in 19 plants, according to Edison Electric Institute. Last year, utilities and power-generating companies dropped plans to build 38 coal plants while announcing that they would retire 48 aging, inefficient ones, according to the environmental group Sierra Club. In 2002, there were plans to install 36000 megawatts of new coal-fired power by 2007. Only one-eighth of that was completed. Deutsche Bank predicts coal's share of electric power generation will tumble further, from 47 percent in 2009 to 34 percent in 2020 and 22 percent in 2030. [The report, 11/2010 136 pages: According to the Energy Information Administration - www.eia.doe.gov the US coal mining industry was operating at an anemic 75% of its production capacity in 2009, down from 85% in 2008 - That low capacity utilization is the result of a huge drop in demand for coal as well as competition from a burgeoning supply of natural gas.

  • This isn't here pt1 TIPPING POINT by Perry Arnett pjarnett9939@ Integrate these concepts: 1) Cheap, readily available, high content Energy, with 2) population explosion, and 3) Carrying Capacity. The integration is, that with the advent of the cheap, readily available supplies of high content energy, world population was able to soar, and thus EXCEED ecological carrying capacity. While population is now at an extremely high level — compared to the non-fossil-fueled past — (and continuing to rise), and the carrying capacity is already overshot, now feed-in an irreversible DECLINE of the cheap readily available energy that got us where we are. Do this integration now, in real-time. Universal decline is the only possible future. The finding and exploitation of coal, oil and natural gas as it was done has created a box canyon for humankind that was not foreseen at the early times. In other words, we had a Grand Chance and blew it! We spent our capital (oil), rather than living off the interest (renewables). We procreated like bunnies thinking that extant energy sources were perpetual. Having spent that capital, it is now both too late to stop population increase (without a catastrophe like war or pandemic) OR develop renewables. So, in order to reach population numbers BELOW carrying capacity, there must be a Dieoff that forcibly lowers living standards and population numbers until some level of sustainability (carrying capacity) is achieved. That will cause living standards ...

  • Direct Carbon Fuel Cell Direct Carbon Fuel Cell Direct Carbon Fuel Cell (DCFC) is a fuel cell that uses carbon-rich material as a fuel. The element produces energy by combining carbon and oxygen, which causes carbon dioxide to release as a byproduct. The efficiency of this fuel cell is about 70% (twice as efficient as in conventional combustion reaction). In general, the reaction in the element is the following: C + O2 turn into CO2. The process in the element's halves is expressed as follows: Anode: C + 2 O2 turn into CO2 + 4 energies Cathode: O2 + 4 energies turn into 2O2 Despite the fact that carbon dioxide is emitted, direct carbon fuel cells are more ecological than traditional coal burning methods. Due to its higher efficiency, this technology requires less carbon to produce the same amount of energy. The carbon used may be coal, coke, or non-fossil sources of carbon. The carbon atoms are highly charged, so the current density at the anode has doubled in comparison with the molecules of hydrogen, adding some useful energy to the weight. There are four types of DCFC The first one is based on a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). The second one is the cell with a molten hydroxide made in accordance with the patent that William W. Jacques received in the US in 1896.The third is based on molten carbonates (MCFC). William W. Jacques received a Canadian patent for this type of fuel cells in 1897. The fourth uses an anode of molten tin in a solid oxide fuel cell design, which uses molten tin and tin ...

  • Green Biofuels Ireland Throughout Ireland both used vegetable oils and animal fats are collected, cleaned and delivered to Green Biofuels Ireland Ltd in tankers. The waste vegetable oils and fats are then pumped into one of GBIs storage tanks ready for processing which involves the chemical reaction of the fats with an alcohol (methanol) and a catalyst (KOH) to produce a renewable non fossil fuel that is known as biodiesel. The biodiesel then undergoes a series of washing steps before finally being distilled to produce clear biodiesel. This environmentally friendly fuel, which meets the rigorous European quality standards, is then collected from GBIL, blended with fossil fuel and distributed throughout forecourts nationally. There are no changes required either to vehicle engines or to the current fuel supply chain infrastructure and logistics. GBILs feedstocks do not compete with the food chain and the annual biodiesel output, not only reduces Ireland's dependence on imported fossil fuels but also results in carbon emissions reduction of almost 90000 tonnes every year
