CO2 monitors facilitate rollout of environmentally friendly refrigeration in Australian supermarkets

Envirotec Magazine

Supermarkets all over Australia and New Zealand are benefiting from advanced carbon dioxide monitors, says measurement expert Vaisala, as new natural refrigeration systems are installed to assist in the fight against climate change. However, HCFCs are very powerful greenhouse gases so Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) became more popular.

The quest for cleaner air

Envirotec Magazine

Diverse compounds are emitted by everything from motor vehicles to power plants, and include both greenhouse gases and short-lived climate pollutants – which are known to fuel global warming – as well as a host of volatile organic compounds that can lead to short- and long-term health problems in humans.

UK substantially underestimates its methane emissions from oil and gas production – and many other countries probably do too

Envirotec Magazine

C present-day global warming relative to pre-industrial times. Due to its climate and indirect health impacts (methane is a precursor for ozone which is an air pollutant that damages human health and crops), methane mitigation has recently become a global policy priority.

We are betting the bank on hydrogen. But are we ready for it?

Envirotec Magazine

Green hydrogen holds many promises: it can serve as a ‘battery’ for energy storage, it can be used in the chemical industry, and its only emission will be water vapour. To make this happen, you need to add some energy. When the hydrogen molecule is allowed to bond again, this energy will be released, though with some energy loss.

Prevention: A profitable mindset when it comes to gas leaks

Envirotec Magazine

CFCs have a high chlorine content and have been linked strongly to ozone depletion and global warming. HCFCs were considered an improvement when they were first introduced, as they have lower chlorine and make a lesser contribution to ozone depletion and global warming. a refrigerant).

Each of these gases remains in the atmosphere for different lengths of time, contributes differently to the greenhouse effect, and has a different global warming potential (GWP). The three main sources of human-induced CO2 emissions are transportation, electricity, and industry. Major Greenhouse Gases. Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

MIT Study Shines a Light on Hydrogen and Natural Gas in the Leak Debate

Hydrogen Fuel News

Comparing Hydrogen and Methane Leaks The MIT study underscores a key aspect of the energy transition understanding the implications of fuel leaks on global warming. While this is promising, the study cautions that hydrogen leaks are not inconsequential and must be minimized to maximize the climate benefits of hydrogen energy.
