概括
通过燃料切换和排放控制,可以减少氧化 (NOx) 和挥发性有机化合物 (VOC). 单独的脱碳化策略可以实现一些目标,但对于其他目标,除了加利福尼亚州的NOx目标外,需要采用常规控制.
科学领域:
- 环境科学 环境科学
- 大气化学 大气化学
- 能源政策 能源政策
背景情况:
- 碳减排策略往往减少氧化 (NOx) 和挥发性有机化合物 (VOC),但不是反之.
- 美国空气质量改善的历史记录显示,二氧化碳 (CO2) 的减少也很小.
- 美国环境保护局 (EPA) 设定了NOx和VOC的假设目标,以修订国家环境空气质量标准 (NAAQS) 的臭氧.
研究的目的:
- 为了比较能源和排放路径,以实现EPA计算的NOx和VOC目标.
- 通过使用MECAQC工具,在15年的时间范围内模拟特定部门的减排.
- 评估传统排放控制和能源系统变化 (燃料切换) 的有效性.
主要方法:
- 使用多重污染物排放计算器对空气质量和气候 (MECAQC) 进行建模.
- 模拟了考虑到传统控制和能源系统变化的具体部门减排.
- 评估了各种行业的最大脱碳场景,包括汽车,建筑和发电.
主要成果:
- 仅最大化去碳化就实现了中西部的NOx和VOC目标和东北部的VOC目标,减少了NOx的44%,VOC的16%,CO2的56%.
- 将碳减排策略与传统排放控制相结合,实现了大多数目标,减少了33%的NOx,17%的VOC和35%的CO2.
- 传统的控制单独满足了所有区域目标,除了加利福尼亚州的NOx目标,任何评估方法都没有达到这一目标.
结论:
- 燃料切换和脱碳是实现NOx和VOC目标的关键,显著减少二氧化碳排放.

There are two ways to determine the amount of heat involved in a chemical change: measure it experimentally, or calculate it from other experimentally determined enthalpy changes. Some reactions are difficult, if not impossible, to investigate and make accurate measurements for experimentally. And even when a reaction is not hard to perform or measure, it is convenient to be able to determine the heat involved in a reaction without having to perform an experiment.

02:13Energy Diagrams, Transition States, and Intermediates
19.8K
Free-energy diagrams, or reaction coordinate diagrams, are graphs showing the energy changes that occur during a chemical reaction. The reaction coordinate represented on the horizontal axis shows how far the reaction has progressed structurally. Positions along the x-axis close to the reactants have structures resembling the reactants, while positions close to the products resemble the products. Peaks on the energy diagram represent stable structures with measurable lifetimes, while...

01:50Global Climate Change
28.6K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

The free energy change for a process taking place with reactants and products present under nonstandard conditions (pressures other than 1 bar; concentrations other than 1 M) is related to the standard free energy change according to this equation:

12.7K
In ozonolysis, ozone is used to cleave a carbon–carbon double bond to form aldehydes and ketones, or carboxylic acids, depending on the work-up.
Ozone is a symmetrical bent molecule stabilized by a resonance structure.

01:17Radiation: Applications
1.7K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
