Reduce Greenhouse
How much more would you be willing to pay for a gallon of gasoline to reduce greenhouse gases?
Question by Yak Rider: How much more would you be willing to pay for a gallon of gasoline to reduce greenhouse gases?
The EPA estimates that if all Americans really stopped using their automobiles it would reduce the annual output of greenhouse gases by about 1%.

Should people be able to choose whether or not they should reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

I want to know what you people reckon. Must countries be able to choose whether or not they reduce greenhouse gas emissions? Why or why not? Please provide factual evidence. no opinions please.

Well looking at other countries it seems that they are all partaking, even in tiny amounts to lower their carbon footprint. Some are more avid than others. If the leader of the country and a excellent protion of the citizens are all for it then why not? But some countries are satisfied with maintaing the unadorned things, recycling, riding your bike to work et cetera. Lowering the amount of pollution in the world hasn’t been a major problem with most governments lately but if the time arises for them to chose then I can’t find a reason why they shouldent be able to.
What do you reckon? Resolution not more than!

ENER-G launches Mexico’s first landfill gas capture project to power manufacture of Nissan cars
Manchester, UK (PRWEB UK) 25 April 2012
ENER-G Natural Power and its sister companionship Biogas Technology are generating clean electrical energy from biogas for use by Nissan at its manufacturing site in Aguascalientes. The power generated is being sold over a long term power buy agreement with the car maker.
ENER-G’s renewable energy project will help Mexico give up on its bold new Climate Change Act, which will commit Mexico to cutting its carbon dioxide emissions by 30 per cent by 2020, and by 50 per cent not more than current levels by 2050, and to generate 35 per cent of electricity from renewable sources by 2024.
Nissan is the first automotive plant in Mexico to use electricity from biogas, and it is the first project of its kind for any Nissan manufacturing plant in the world.
The Nissan production site, which makes March, Versa and Sentra cars, receives 2.475 megawatts (MW) of clean energy – sufficient to produce 37,000 vehicles per year.
The ?4.4 million investment by ENER-G will reduce carbon dioxide emissions at the landfill site by approximately 90,000 tons per year. This is equivalent to the environmental benefit of 7,045 hectares (17,409 acres) of pine forest.
The 42 hectare (104 acre) landfill site, which is owned by the Municipality of Aquascalientes, receives household, commercial and industrial waste. A total of 3.9 million tons of waste is currently deposited at the site, which has been in operation for ten years.
The two- phase biogas generation project ongoing in 2006 when ENER-G group companionship Biogas Technology was appointed by the Municipality of Aquascalientes to collect and ruin the biogas emissions by flaring. These emissions comprise mainly methane gas, a harmful greenhouse gas, which is 21 times more damaging to the environment than carbon dioxide.
This was the first project in Mexico to be registered with the United Nations under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), part of the Kyoto Protocol. Under CDM, certified emission reduction credits are provided for each ton of carbon dioxide saved, which can then be traded internationally to offset emissions by large polluters in the developed world. So far, Biogas Technology has delivered 200,000 tons of carbon reduction benefits, equivalent to the environmental benefit of 15,656 hectares (38,686 acres) of pine forest. This has generated significant economic benefits for the Municipality of Aguascalientes..
The second phase of the project involved ENER-G Natural Power installing two 1.6 MW biogas generators as part of a six month erect programme. This has involved arranging the sale of electricity to Nissan Mexicana and arranging export to the site over a distance of approximately 20km. The clean electricity is transported via overhead lines through a supply contract with the Federal Commission of Electricity.
Due to the effect of ‘thin’ air at the high altitude of the San Nicholas site, ENER-G Natural Power was required to install an oversized 3.2 MW system to achieve the much loved de-rated capacity of 2.5 MW electrical capacity. The biogas supply is expected to last for at least 15 years.
Hugh Richmond, Managing Director of ENER-G Natural Power, said: “This ambitious project is converting damaging greenhouse gases into renewable power that is benefiting Mexico’s successful car industry, providing valuable income for the Municipality of Aquascalientes, and benefiting the environment.
“We are very proud to work with our sister companionship Biogas Technology to invest in Mexico’s next generation renewable technology and to help the government to give up on legally binding targets to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through its ambitious new Climate Change Act . We have ambitions to erect more of these plants in Mexico to match the strong desire and commitment by the Mexico Government for investment in renewables.”
Ian Gadsby, Managing Director of Biogas Technology, added: “Over the past six years, we have reduced carbon emissions from the San Nicholas site by more than 200,000 tons, helping to improve the city’s environmental performance and generate an income for the city through the CDM. Working with our sister companionship ENER-G Natural Power, we continue to control and reduce emissions, not only by destruction of the methane gas, but also in producing green electricity which displaces electricity produced by fossil fuelled power stations.”????????????
Carlos Lozano de la Torre, Governor of Aguascalientes, said: “With this facility that generates clean energy from methane gas produced by municipal solid waste, we are placing the city of Aguascalientes at the forefront of sustainable development.”
Lorena Martinez, Mayor of Aguascalientes, added: “The city of Aguascalientes is proud to lead the way in renewable energy generation and to partner with ENER-G to open the first clean electricity production installation. This renewable electricity will be used to support local industries, such as Nissan.”
Armando Avila, Vice President of Manufacturing of Nissan Mexicana, said: “At Nissan we are proud to work with the city of Aguascalientes and ENER-G Natural Power to improve the environment. This project allows us four years to advance the environmental challenges of our program Nissan Green Program 2016 to reduce CO2 emissions.”
The biogas generation facility was officially opened by Carlos Lozano de la Torre, Governor of Aguascalientes; Lorena Martinez, Mayor of Aguascalientes, as well as federal, state and municipal accompanied by senior executives of ENER-G Natural Power, Biogas Technology and Nissan Mexicana.
