Assuming that "coal“ is needed, became 140 results found.
As the operator Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) announced, the nuclear power plant with a gross output of 1.720 MW unexpectedly went offline on Sunday, November 19.11.2023th, 19 at 10:XNUMX p.m. Coal and gas power plants had to step in and start up as backup power plants to secure Finland's electricity supply. According to the investigations so far, the cause is a "faulty...
Heat, rain and melting ice, warns the World Weather Organization (WMO). The concentration of climate-damaging greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is rising from record to record. The most important of these, carbon dioxide (CO2), reached a striking mark last year: the concentration was 50 percent above pre-industrial levels, reported the World Weather Organization (WMO). This year...

Davis (USA). According to data from the American Meteorological Society (AMS), the Earth's atmosphere currently has the highest CO₂ concentration in a million years. Rock weathering, where carbon dioxide from the air reacts with volcanic rock, can reduce concentrations. Because this natural process takes millions of years, it can cause climate change and global warming...

Warming of the oceans, as the researchers report. They now make these trends clear in interactive strip graphics. The physical basis for this has long been known: When the carbon dioxide content of the air increases, more CO2 dissolves in the water of the oceans. As a result, carbonic acid is formed and makes the seawater more acidic. At the same time, some of the CO2 reacts with the...
especially the old and sick, nature and many farmers suffer from the heat and drought. The effects of the climate crisis are clearly visible to everyone. At the same time, movements are protesting in the coal mines in the Rhineland and Lusatia. In view of the crisis, they are calling for a quick exit from the use of coal and a switch to wind and solar. The police use force against the...

from 2015. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a large part of the existing fossil energy reserves may no longer be mined and burned if the goal is to be achieved - specifically: 80 percent for coal and natural gas, 30 percent for crude oil. A lot more of it would have to stay in the ground if 1,5 degrees is the goal. The new IPCC boss Jim Skea recently pointed this out. The energy companies...
and promote its sustainability. But burning gas to generate energy and heat is very damaging to the climate, and in many cases even produces more greenhouse gases than coal or petroleum. This has to do with methane emissions during extraction and transport, the so-called indirect emissions. The gas lobby, brought together in the “Future Gas” association, presents...

Bitumen as a binding agent has not yet been asphalted for a meter of road. However, the tough material also contributes to the creation of massive amounts of CO2 emissions: around 350 kilograms of carbon dioxide per ton of bitumen. [...] Now the Cologne-based Strabag and its Viennese parent company surprise with news that solves the two bitumen problems - environmental impact and supply uncertainty - in one fell swoop...
stop global warming! Yes, yes, definitely! Solar power used to be expensive, but that was a long time ago. Solar power is now cheaper almost everywhere in the world than power from new nuclear and coal-fired power plants. Even oil-producing countries are now turning to photovoltaics. [...] Let's assume conservatively that the market will only grow by 25 percent in the next eight years. Even then...
