Particulate and Trace Gas Emissions from Open Burning of

Aug 03, 2007Field measurements were conducted to determine particulate emissions and trace gas emissions, including CO2, CO, CH4, NMHCs, NOx, NH3, N2O, and SO2, from open burning of wheat straw and maize stover, two major agricultural residues in China. The headfire ignition technique was adopted, and sampling was performed downwind from the agricultural fire. Get price

Carbon

Note: Many ingredients used for composting do not have the ideal ratio of 25-30:1. As a result, most must be mixed to create "the perfect compost recipe."High C:N ratios may be lowered by adding grass clippings or manures. Low C:N ratios may be raised by adding paper, dry leaves or wood chips. Get price

Sustainable materials for low carbon buildings

Ideal building materials from the consideration of low carbon emissions, least carbon footprint and potential for recycling and reuse are the natural materials like soil, stones and timber/biomass. Unprocessed or least processed natural materials have limitations particularly with reference to strength and durability aspects. Get price

Greenhouse Emissions and Carbon Taxes

In sustainability reporting and in the calculation of the greenhouse gases generated from an entity (commonly referred to as the carbon footprint), the common measure used is carbon dioxide equivalent or CO 2 e, which accounts for the emission of carbon dioxide and methane. The amount of these gases generated is typically normalized as kilograms of CO 2 e per (hour, mile, kilowatt or Get price
