million in Alternative Fuel Incentive Grants (AFIGs) to 18 cleaner fuel transportation projects statewide that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants. Transportation generates 47 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions in Pennsylvania, contributing to the formation of ground-level ozone.

600 per cent more by 2040 – which is going to add a lot more climate pollution to the atmosphere! After greenhouse gas emissions from electricity dropped to a low of 4 Megatonnes, Ontario’s increasing use of fossil gas will lead emissions to rise to 18 Megatonnes. How much more? Yes, Ontario is moving backwards.

Background Information: Though hydrogen itself isn’t technically a greenhouse gas, scientists have found that hydrogen actually does contribute to temperature rise through some complex chemical reactions—and is actually 33 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.

11) Global warming, in part, is a result of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases—such as carbon dioxide and methane—have a heat-trapping impact on climate. (12) 14) Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to global warming. (15)

SW: Fertilizer companies encourage the industrial agriculture sector to overapply its product, and when all of that synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer is sprayed on soil, nitrous oxide is emitted into the atmosphere. But nitrous oxide is even more insidiously efficient at disrupting the climate.

noted ” Diesel generators produce carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and particulate matter. These generators release this into the atmosphere and substantially reduce air quality in the nearby regions. This is very expensive. Additionally, as EnergyEducation.ca Every litre of fuel has 0.73 kg of pure carbon, 2.6

Agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the raising of livestock and growth of crops for human consumption represent 14% of global GHG emissions. Methane emissions reductions up to 68% have been recorded as a result of anaerobic digestion, although increases in nitrous oxide emissions of up to 49% are possible.
