For every 1 kg of jet fuel burnt in the operational phase of the flight, approximately 3.15 kg of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. The total volume of fuel consumed on a flight depends on factors such as the distance trav...
Problem to be solved: to provide a solar power plant where all energy necessary on the earth is safe, long term inexpensive, no pollution, and can be able to cover carbon dioxide emission by 0. Construction of a solar power plant in desert zoneIn sand collected from the surface of solar...
Dear Members and Friends ofSwissCham,We would love to invite you to this webinar on"How to calculate and understand emissions"on Thursday, January 19 at 4pm. This webinar is part 3 of theGreener Together: China-Nordic Di...
gases trap heat in the atmosphere, causing the planet’s temperature to rise. Carbon dioxide, which accounts for around 85% of the UK’s emissions, enters the atmosphere when fossil fuels and solid waste are burnt. Emissions are generally broken down into three categories:Scope 1, 2 and 3....
Brian is the Head of Sustainability at a manufacturing facility. Right now, he’s explaining how to calculate electricity emissions to the larger finance team who will be helping his team calculate the company’s greenhouse gas emissions. This team plays a crucial role in this process because th...
Transport is responsible for 27% of total UK greenhouse gas emissions, but what can you do to reduce your car emissions? Read what you can do here.
the outside air then cools the wheel and the air that is drawn back into the facility. It uses between 75% to 92% less power to run than other CRAH systems, reduces carbon dioxide emissions and eliminates the need for water in the cooling system. The technology is used by United...
With e-commerce growing at a rapid rate, and consumers demanding ever-speedier deliveries, it’s unsurprising that the logistics and transport sector currently contributes to just over a third of global carbon dioxide emissions1. Amidst this, green shipping has become a hot topic, with...
If you’d like to calculate your own carbon footprint, try using a simple online tool that can estimate your carbon dioxide usage based on your income, family size and geographic location. For more in-depth analysis, the U.S. EPA offers another online carbon footprint analysis tool for ind...
combustion or from the atmosphere. This technology has been heavily promoted by the fossil fuel industry, although it has yet to deliver on those expectations.11The largest carbon capture facility can absorb 4,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year, a minuscule amount compared to annual emissions....
