PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNG
by Eugene Richards (Editor)
Carbon dioxide undergoes exchange between the earth, biosphere, air and water. The processes of exchange between these reservoirs are mediated through the processes of transpiration, combustion, respiration and decomposition. The balance achieved between these is called the carbon balance. The widespread use of fossil fuels has led to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulting in adverse consequences, such as global warming. These effects can be managed by adhering to carbon cycle rebalancing strategies, which involve carbon capture and storage, promotion of carbon-offset mechanisms, adoption of sustainable energy, design and transport, etc. An example of a sustainable environmental practice is the burning of domestic waste to generate power. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of carbon balance management. Also included in this book is a detailed explanation of the strategies for sustainable environment. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
