Assuming that "greenhouse gas“ is needed, became 78 results found.
It's been a good ten years. At that time, protests in northern Germany led to a virtual ban by the black-yellow federal government on CCS technology - the large-scale technology in which the greenhouse gas CO2 is pressed into deep layers of the earth in order to banish it from the atmosphere. Opponents of the CCS projects, especially in Schleswig-Holstein, feared leaks, artificial earthquakes and risks for...

Reconstruction aid comes from the state or insurance companies - the flood victims have to cover the rest themselves. But what about large industrial companies that are among the largest emitters of climate-damaging greenhouse gases? [...] A lawsuit is currently being heard at the Higher Regional Court in Hamm: against the energy company RWE. It's not about the flood in the Ahr Valley, but about the...
| Cement | 3D printing Geopolymer instead of cement: New recipe for CO₂-free mortar for 3D printing A new mortar for 3D printing of buildings causes almost no greenhouse gases during production. It should also be more robust and cheaper. The production of concrete causes around eight percent of global CO2 emissions. 3D printing of buildings promises – at least in theory – a...
to put it in a favorable light and propagate 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, united in...

Sources in the glacier foreground emit 2.300 tons of methane per year. Fatal feedback: the shrinking glaciers in the Arctic could become a previously underestimated source of the potent greenhouse gas methane. The retreat of the glaciers exposes groundwater sources from which methane dissolved in water bubbles up to the surface - with a concentration up to 600.000 times higher than in...

According to a study, the remaining budget for the 1,5 degree limit is smaller than previously thought. The lead author speaks of a “wake-up call” and calls for harder efforts to avoid greenhouse gases. The news of the climate crisis this spring is dramatic. New temperature records were already set in April in Bangladesh, India, Laos and Thailand, with up to 45 degrees Celsius...
in which countries the electricity transition is successful. It is the beginning of the end of the fossil age, write the analysts. In 2023 the world will be at a historic turning point. The amount of greenhouse gases produced for the production of electricity could fall permanently from this year. We are at the top, now things are probably going downhill. This assessment comes from the Global Electricity...

But it is still not completely clear where the highly effective greenhouse gas actually escapes and how it influences global warming. After all, over a period of 20 years, it contributes 84 times more to global warming than CO2. The methane concentration in the...

another driver for the decline weakens. Li and England point out that their model calculations end in 2050. The climate will then continue to warm if greenhouse gas emissions do not decrease significantly, combined with further melting of the ice sheets and thus a continued slowing of the conveyor belt. Normally it is its function...
However, it is easier and more energy-efficient to transport than hydrogen. The steel industry is one of the largest CO2 emitters in the world - it is responsible for around seven percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to the high energy consumption, the main reason for this is the reducing agents used in blast furnaces: fossil fuels such as coke, coal or methane...
The statement of the sixth evaluative report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is: Compliance with the Paris Agreement of 2015 can no longer only be achieved through drastic and rapid reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases, but also only through the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
