PART II: PURPOSE: In recent years there has been growing concern that the increasing accumulation of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere will lead to undesirable changes in global climate. This concern has resulted in a number of proposals, both in the U.S. and internationally, to set physical targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This Lab report would help us gather information to determine the causes the damages done equally.
INTRODUCTION: We know that quantification of fossil fuel CO2 emissions at fine space and time resolution is emerging as a critical need in carbon cycle and climate change research. As atmospheric CO2 measurements expand with the advent of a dedicated remote sensing platform and denser in situ measurements, the ability to close the carbon budget at spatial scales of 100 km2 and daily time scales requires fossil fuel CO2 inventories at commensurate resolution. Additionally, the growing interest in U.S. climate change policy measures are best served by emissions that are tied to the driving processes in space and time.
METHODS: There are several methods for accounting for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The territorial perspective considers emissions that are released to the atmosphere within a country’s borders and jurisdiction. This considers emissions associated with goods and services, attributing them to the country where they are consumed, regardless of where production of these goods and services result in emissions. To make my observations correct, the information has been gathered from 5 different locations which includes Summit, Greenland; Barrow, Alaska; Mauna Loa, Hawaii; American Samoa; and South Pole, Antarctica. The CO2 emissions from these regions were closely monitored from the year 1990 and 2005. The same has been recorded and presented as graph.
RESULTS / OUTCOME: To determine annual greenhouse gas emissions per mile, the following methodology was used: carbon dioxide emissions per gallon of gasoline were divided by the average fuel economy of vehicles to determine carbon dioxide emitted per mile traveled by a typical passenger vehicle. Carbon dioxide emissions were then divided by the ratio of carbon dioxide emissions to total vehicle greenhouse gas emissions to account for vehicle methane and nitrous oxide emissions. This results in observing that from 1990 to 2005 in Alaska the CO2 Emissions increased by 24%, in Greenland the CO2 Emissions increased by 15%, in Hawaii the CO2 Emissions increased by 29%, in Samoa the CO2 Emissions increased by 30% and in Antarctica the CO2 Emissions increased by 30% as well.
DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS: Carbon dioxide emissions per therm are determined by multiplying heat content times the carbon coefficient times the fraction oxidized times the ratio of the molecular weight ratio of carbon dioxide to carbon. The average heat content of natural gas is 0.1 mmbtu per therm. The average carbon coefficient of natural gas is 14.46 kg carbon per mmbtu. The fraction oxidized to CO2 is 100 percent. Direct methane emissions released to the atmosphere (without burning) are about 25 times more powerful than CO2 in terms of their warming effect on the atmosphere. These equations make my prediction and analysis correct. The amount of CO2 pollution in the air has quickly amplified in recent areas. With the numbers being on the rise as observed, the quantity of oxygen needed to continue on this planet will soon become scarce and non-existent.
