How can greenhouse gas emissions be reduced in China

2009-03-05View Original

Thread Content

:Time: In recent years, the issue of rising global temperatures has attracted increasing attention (this is how elementary school students usually start their essays), and the main cause of this rise in temperatures is the emission of greenhouse gases. To control greenhouse gas emissions, countries around the world have taken various measures and are actively cooperating with one another. Common action plans have been established, such as the Kyoto Protocol; as a developing country, China does not yet have any obligations to reduce emissions. But as the world’s second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, it is also a responsible nation. It is also necessary for us to take proactive measures to control greenhouse gas emissions. What do everyone think about this issue? What are some good suggestions? Please feel free to share your thoughts!

To address the issue, it is necessary to know what greenhouse gases are, so that appropriate measures can be taken. First, the original poster, what are greenhouse gases? CO2/CH4/fluorocarbons. . . . . . It is very difficult to control greenhouse gases; moreover, the country cannot even properly control even the most basic conventional pollutants, let alone greenhouse gases!

Strengthen regulatory measures and pay special “attention” to entities that emit large amounts. Another thing is to plant more trees

Let’s mainly discuss carbon dioxide then! 、

I think we should vigorously develop nuclear power and hydropower, while minimizing the use of thermal power.

Environmental protection-related laws should be improved~~ I think that’s the most important thing! Strengthen supervision and promote the development of new energy sources

Greenhouse gases are gas components in the atmosphere that are natural or man-made; they are capable of absorbing and emitting radiation of specific wavelengths within the thermal infrared spectrum emitted by the Earth’s surface, the atmosphere, and clouds. This property leads to the greenhouse effect. Water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and ozone (O3) are the main greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. In addition, there are many greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that are entirely of human origin, such as the halocarbons and other chlorine- and bromine-containing substances covered by the Montreal Protocol. In addition to CO2, N2O, and CH4, the Kyoto Protocol designates sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and perfluorocarbons (PFCs) as greenhouse gases.

Excess carbon dioxide levels cause the Earth to be like something trapped in a pot, with temperatures rising gradually, thereby creating the \"greenhouse effect\". Of the gases that cause the greenhouse effect, carbon dioxide accounts for about 75%; therefore, **strongly supporting tree planting, afforestation, and converting farmland back to forest is one of the strategies.

In thermal power plants, desulfurization is carried out first, followed by denitrification; once denitrification is complete, carbon removal begins.

Agree with the second floor – we should start by addressing pollution. We are a developing country, and it is up to the developed countries in Europe and America to make contributions to tackling the issue of greenhouse gases.

I’m not sure if everyone has heard of CDM. Below is what I copied from Baidu: The Clean Development Mechanism, abbreviated as CDM, is one of the three flexible compliance mechanisms introduced in the Kyoto Protocol. In accordance with the principle of \"common but differentiated responsibilities,\" developed countries that have already gone through the industrial revolution bear greater historical responsibility for global warming. Therefore, the Kyoto Protocol set emission reduction targets only for industrialized countries, without imposing such requirements on developing countries. On February 16, 2005, the Kyoto Protocol entered into force. According to the provisions, developed **contracting parties must reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 5.2% compared to 1990 levels between 2005 and 2012 in order to fulfill their obligations regarding emission reductions; the cost of reducing greenhouse gases for developed **countries is several times, or even dozens of times, higher than that for developing **countries. Developed countries fulfill part of their obligations under the Kyoto Protocol by implementing projects in developing countries that result in reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, using those reductions as a means to meet those obligations. On the one hand, for developed **countries, providing them with some flexibility in fulfilling their obligations allows them to do so at lower costs ; On the other hand, for developing countries, it is possible to obtain funds and technology from developed countries by taking advantage of their lower costs associated with emission reductions, thereby promoting their sustainable development ; For the world, it enables the global community to reduce overall emission reduction costs while achieving common emission reduction goals. Therefore, CDM is a Win-Win option.   I. Greenhouse gases for which emission reductions are required under CDM The greenhouse gases covered by CDM rules include: CO2 (carbon dioxide), CH4 (methane), N2O (nitrous oxide), HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons), PFCs (perfluorocarbons), and SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride). Emitting one ton of CH4 is equivalent to emitting 21 tons of CO2, while emitting one ton of N2O is equivalent to emitting 310 tons of CO2. Emitting one ton of HFCs is equivalent to emitting 140–11,700 tons of CO2.   II. Industries and sectors where CDM is applied 1. Energy industry (renewable/non-renewable energy) 2. Energy distribution 3. Energy demand 4. Manufacturing industry 5. Chemical industry 6. Construction industry 7. Transportation sector 8. Mineral products 9. Metal production 10. Emissions from fuels (solid fuels, oil, and gas) 11. Emissions resulting from the production and consumption of chlorofluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride 12. Use of solvents 13. Waste disposal 14. Afforestation and reforestation 15. Agriculture III. CDM project technologies In a broad sense, any technology that contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions or to the recovery or absorption of such gases can be used as a technology for CDM projects. For example: technologies to improve energy efficiency, including those that enhance the efficiency of energy supply and those that improve the efficiency of energy use ; New energy and renewable energy technologies ; Greenhouse gas recovery and utilization technologies such as coal mine methane and landfill methane recovery technologies ; Waste energy recovery technologies, and so on.   IV. Types of Small CDM Projects (1) Renewable energy projects: The maximum installed capacity is specified to be within 15,000 kilowatts. Including wind energy, solar energy, hydroenergy, biomass energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, etc ; It can be in the form of supplying electricity through power generation, or it can provide power and mechanical energy.   (2) Projects to improve energy efficiency: Their maximum annual energy savings should be within 15 million kWh. There are many examples in this regard.   (3) Projects in other categories: They should involve direct emissions of greenhouse gases, with an annual greenhouse gas emission volume of less than 15,000 tons of CO2. For example, fuel substitution projects, methane recovery from landfills, and methane recovery projects from coal mines.

Which is more important: survival or environmental protection? At present, I think we should reduce local pollution and focus our research on these aspects. As for global issues, research should take precedence over action.

The key is to improve technology and reduce energy consumption per unit of production.
Reply #142009-03-09
I think the key is to develop and discover new sources of energy, such as solar energy, hydrogen energy, and wind energy, which can partially replace fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and oil; this way, carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced. Other methods include increasing the forest coverage rate. Another option is to invent a new technology that can absorb carbon dioxide at its source; this is the most practical solution

I feel everyone still needs to be frugal. Save energy and resources
