The shift from fossil fuels in the 100-percent RES scenario reduces the amount of toxic power plant air pollution much more than what we called a “no-new-policy,” or business-as-usual, scenario. Emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from power plants in alliance states drop 88 percent and 77 percent respectively by 2040.

Burning coal in these two regions account for a little under two gigatonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year, with 1.29 Yet, coal account for two-thirds of the carbon emissions of electricity generation in both regions. It is worth remember that overall, air pollution accounts for 7 million deaths per year (WHO).

The DEP Energy Programs Office began developing state climate action plans about 10 years ago, as required by the Pennsylvania Climate Change Act of 2008. As a large state and an energy giant, Pennsylvania is one of the biggest generators of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. We've funded over 1,000 chargers?installed

Anaerobic digestion is a biological process happening naturally that breaks down organic matter in an airless environment, resulting in the generation of methane and carbon dioxide (among other things, see below). This truly natural gas can be burnt as is to cook food, generate electricity and heat buildings.

Local air pollution (and global climate change) ; 4. At a time where scientists are trying to figure out how to suck the excess carbon out of our atmosphere, Mother Nature has known how to do it for millions of years. Trees are very efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide. per watt in 2008 to $3.36/watt
