NASA CO2 MAP SHOWS BIOMASS BURNING IN SOUTH AMERICA AND AFRICA RELEASES MORE CO2 THAN US AND EU INDUSTRIES!
From the Astute Blogger:
Nasa's Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2) has returned its first global maps of the greenhouse gas CO2.
The satellite was sent up in July to help pinpoint the key locations on the Earth's surface where carbon dioxide is being emitted and absorbed.
This should help scientists better understand how human activities are influencing the climate.
The new maps contain only a few weeks of data in October and November, but demonstrate the promise of the mission.
Clearly evident within the charts is the banding effect that describes how emitted gases are mixed by winds along latitudes rather than across them.
Also apparent are the higher concentrations over South America and southern Africa.
These are likely the result of biomass burning in these regions.
THE REGIONS THAT ARE RED HAVE MUCH MORE CO2 THAN THE OTHER REGIONS.
THE RED REGIONS ARE HIGH CO2 PRODUCING REGIONS BECAUSE THEY HAVE FOREST FIRES,
AND BECAUSE THEY BURN A LOT OF WOOD AND DRIED MANURE AS FUEL.
GO READ THE WHOLE THING.

Landfill Gas Power Plants And Biomass
Landfill gas power basically refers to the two greenhouse gases of carbon dioxide and methane. It is therefore a form of biomass used in the generation of energy whereby biomass refers to the microorganisms found in organic materials from animals and...

Biofuels
What are Biofuels? Biofuels are fuel having energy from geologically recent carbon fixation which are produced from living organisms. Carbon fixation exists in plants and micro algae. These fuels are produced from a biomass conversion. There are...

Types Of Biomass
Scientists recognize four types of biomass:Wood and agricultural products: This consists of so-called ‘home-grown' products such as wood logs and chips etc. It is important to note that almost any biological matter can produce biomass energy. Agricultural...
