However, industry has yet to provide the kind of comprehensive data needed to estimate how far any possible climate benefits from switching to blue hydrogen produced by the planned projects may offset the residual CO2 emissions and methane leaks associated with making it. Credit: Sabrina Bedford.

Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas and one of the main stratospheric ozone depleting substances on the planet. Widely known as “laughing gas”, used for its anesthetic effects, nitrous oxide (N2O) is also regarded as the third most important long-lived greenhouse gas, after carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane.

The progress update builds on previous data compiled by the Lancet commission, which showed that pollution was responsible for 9 million deaths in 2015. Notably, both methane and many major forms of PM 2.5 Now, the researchers say that number has remained virtually unchanged.

Currently, more than 99 percent of hydrogen used in the EU is “grey hydrogen” made from natural gas in a process known as “steam methane reformation” that has high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. It could also contribute to increases in ground-level ozone pollution — which is harmful to human health.

The Paris Climate Agreement : COP21 took place in Paris 2015, and marked a new momentum for climate action. With these targets in mind, 2015 marks a significant point in our history. The protocol sets binding and measurable objectives for combating climate change for the first time, stipulating global ceilings for GHGs.

While CO 2 may be the greatest contributor to climate change, other gases such as methane and nitrous oxide are also responsible for creating the greenhouse effect, therefore, solutions must also focus on the reduction of these gases. The severity of those impacts is tied directly to the amount of carbon dioxide we release.”
