Agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide make up 6% of the United States' greenhouse gas emissions; they have increased in concentration by 30% since 1980. [76] While 6% may appear to be a small contribution, nitrous oxide is 300 times more effective at trapping heat per pound than carbon dioxide and has a residence time of around 120 years. [76]
Energy & Fuels is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Chemical Society. It was established in 1987. It was established in 1987. Its publication frequency switched from bimonthly to monthly in 2009.
Brazilian cerrado Amazon rainforest. The indirect land use change impacts of biofuels, also known as ILUC or iLUC (pronounced as i-luck), relates to the unintended consequence of releasing more carbon emissions due to land-use changes around the world induced by the expansion of croplands for ethanol or biodiesel production in response to the increased global demand for biofuels.
21st Century Energy Independence Act of 2011 [permanent dead link ] – Instructs the Secretary of Energy (DOE) to seek to ensure: (1) the availability of 200% of the volume of renewable fuels required to be available in the United States by 2013 under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109–58 (text)); and (2) the reduction of carbon ...
The project will expand the United States’ southern regional agricultural sector by utilizing sweet sorghum and energy cane to produce butanol, gasoline, isoprene and byproduct chemicals. Developers believe the project eventually will contribute significantly to improving rural prosperity and job creation in the southern region of the United ...
The purpose of the statute is to reduce the dependence of the United States on imported petroleum and natural gas. It is law that had been enacted by the U.S. Congress for the production and use of biomass energy. It also provided for the use of municipal waste biomass energy and rural, agricultural, and forestry biomass energy. [3]
According to the work done in AGREE, suggestions were given on the definition of energy efficiency in agriculture Energy efficiency is the goal of efforts to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services. The general term "energy efficiency in agriculture" reflects changes in technology, government policies, weather ...
The negative impact of agriculture is an old issue that remains a concern even as experts design innovative means to reduce destruction and enhance eco-efficiency. [2] Animal agriculture practices tend to be more environmentally destructive than agricultural practices focused on fruits, vegetables and other biomass. The emissions of ammonia ...
