The California Global Warming Soluti ons Act of 2006 that prescribed a portfolio of actions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020.
Emissions that trap heat in the atmosphere, causing global warming. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases (synthetic greenhouse gases emitted from industrial processes, including hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and surfur hexafluoride).[1] The Climate Registry draft update to…
The estimated carbon content of combusted fossil fuels representing the maximum potential emissions to the atmosphere if all carbon in the fuel were to be oxidized during combustion.
