H2 for transportation is an insane argument that it’s better for the environment than BEVs. Many don’t know that leaked H2 during production, storage and transportation has detrimental effects, as it has high Global Warming Potential (GWP) by increasing the residence time for Methane (CH4) in the atmosphere. CH4 traps more heat in the atmosphere/molecule than carbon dioxide (CO2), making it x80 more harmful than CO2 for 20yr after its release. https://lnkd.in/gYjth4mU

Solar panels and planting trees both mitigate global warming, but they also darken the land, absorbing heat. In drylands, solar panels break even by mitigating more warming than they cause more than 50 times faster than afforestation. In PNAS Nexus: https://ow.ly/NNf750QbyJl

What are greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? 🌍 GHGs create what is now widely known as the greenhouse effect, a wall around the earth’s atmosphere (similar to a greenhouse). With the huge increase in the use of GHGs, the amount has now become excessive and is the cause of climate change and global warming. The main types of greenhouse gases are: 🌡️ Carbon dioxide (CO₂) 🌡️ Methane 🌡️ Nitrous oxide 🌡️ Water vapour Want to know more?

GHGs and their GWPs..... (Global Warming Potential (GWP) tells us how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere compared to carbon dioxide. GWP is basically shown as a multiple of CO2, helping us understand the relative effects of various gases over a specific time frame)

With the increasing amount of greenhouse gas material in the earth's atmosphere, which is equivalent to CO2 gas. What we know as global warming, it can be compared to the earth being in a giant oven. The importance of carbon trading through carbon capture and carbon storage. #climatechange

Surprising Sources of Methane : While 60% of global methane emissions comes from human activities, the remaining 40% comes from natural sources, including permafrost and wetlands, which are thawing rapidly and becoming increasingly waterlogged due to rising temperatures. Methane fuels 20-30% of the heating the planet has experienced to date. Although shorter-lived in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide (CO2), methane has a global warming impact more than 80 times higher than CO2 over a 20-year period #methane#globalwarming https://lnkd.in/dkhhtC-u

A good tool for linking local effects to global change.
