Introduction Climate Change

​

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time.

 

First things first, to climate change we need to understand the ecosystem and how it was constructed and how every thing works together. There is water, plants of all kinds, humans, animals and micro organisms and more living on this earth. On the earths crust there is soil that carries different composites of chemicals that are needed for our survival. There is also the atmosphere which carries gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, water vapour molecules and many more. there is the solar system of all planets. There is a balance for this to work out in the form of cycles, reversible and irreversible reactions. The mission is to combat carbon emissions such as carbon monoxide and to some extent carbon dioxide from over burning of fossil fuels and petrochemicals. Our Solution is to construct machinery that encourage complete combustion and with barriers to prevent the breathing in of the products of this combustion, as well as  produce carbon dioxide and water only. We need to encourage renewable energy machinery and plant new vegetation for the purpose of photosynthesis that occurs in vegetation.

 

What is Photosynthesis

 

​Photosynthesis is a process in plants (vegetation) that collects carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and uses the direct or indirect sunlight to make carbohydrates in the form of starches and with the combination of a process called osmosis whereby fluids from the soil content with mineral and NH+ compounds Ca+ compounds and more to make not only carbohydrates but also protein and other important nutrients that herbivores eat. Herbivores will be eaten by Omnivores and Carnivores. When these mammals die or excrete matter their bodies and their matter will decay and become fossil matter through evolution and time. The fossil matter produced can burn to produce carbon emissions once again and  again in a cycle through time. Photosynthesis also produces another gas  called Oxygen that we breath in  and we breath out carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and the process repeats again and again. 

​

Climate change has been driven largely by carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels and cutting down trees and other resourceful vegetation that allow the transition of Photosynthesis to take place. This means that there will be less production of oxygen as well as carbohydrates, protein and minerals for our consumption. The good news is there are equipment such as catalytic converters that encourage Renewable energy by providing a solution that clean the air produced by combustion to a sustainable, clean, and cost-effective solutions that break up the carbon monoxide molecule to  produce molecules that comprise of carbon dioxide, oxygen and metallic oxide precipitation.  Planting new trees and encouraging farming  is a good thing to do. Rather than using combustion as an energy source it is better to switch to renewable energy for example wind, solar, and hydropower, by doing so there will be a reduction of  emissions we get from combustion of fossil fuels for Electricity Power generation and supply, and by doing so, combat climate change, and create a healthier earth for future generations.

​

Did you know?

​

• In addition to this the world is planting trees to also combat the carbon dioxide emissions through a naturally occurring process called  photosynthesis.

• Renewable energy now accounts for about a fair amount of the World's electricity generation, with wind, solar, Hydropower,  geothermal and tidal wave. Methane gas combustion has been seen as also a good source of energy because of the less carbon atoms in the molecule so when it reacts with oxygen in  the combustion chamber it produces carbon dioxide and water.

• There is research on making hydrogen gas power and hydrogen gas heating and implementation. When hydrogen reacts with oxygen in the combustion chamber it produces water.

Types of Renewable Energy

​

Here’s a quick overview of the most common types of energy that does not have carbon emissions:

​

1. Wind Farms: Harnessing the power of wind to generate electricity. Offshore wind energy is becoming a necessity for power generation due to stronger winds that are seen in the oceans creating better power and the advantages of using power electronics the energy produced can be regulated to a standards required in the electricity supply. 

2. Solar Power: Using photovoltaic panels to convert sunlight into electricity.  Solar energy is versatile, scalable, and can be stored as potential energy in batteries and UPS systems perfect for both urban and rural areas.

3. Hydropower: Generating electricity from flowing water. While large-scale hydropower is well-established, small-scale systems are gaining popularity for local energy needs.

4. Geothermal Power: Tapping into the Earth’s internal heat to produce energy. Geothermal has huge potential for heating and cooling systems.

5. Solar Thermal Power: Using Solar thermal systems, for example, are an efficient way to heat water and homes.​

 

Below is an example of common types of energy that produce carbon emissions.​

 

Thermal Power:

​

• Coal fired,

• Propane or Methane Gas turbines:

 

They produce a lot of carbon emissions but with the help of catalytic converters the carbon emissions can be cleaned just to have carbon dioxide and water, the carbon dioxide can be extracted and compressed to liquid form stored into tanks for further industrial or domestic use.   (Authored by: N C Muzambi)
