What is a carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide, that are produced by an individual, organization, or event. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere and contribute to climate change. The carbon footprint is typically measured in units of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). CO2e takes into account the global warming […]
Gas nightmares and biogas opportunities
Natural gas although a cleaner alternative to other fossil fuels due to its cleaner combustion is still a fossil fuel. It is mainly made of methane (CH4) and usually has trace levels of CO2, nitrogen, and other elements. It is colorless and odorless, and odor is typically added for safety, and to detect leaks. Natural […]
