Carbon dioxide level has gone up and up and up.

But carbon dioxide is carbon dioxide.

Ireland apos s own CO2 abatement strategy aims at limiting the growth in CO2 emissions to 20 per cent over 1990 levels by the year 2000.

1 GT (or gigatonne) CO2 equivalent means 1,000 million of tonnes of CO2.

MT (or mega tonne) of CO2 equivalent means 1,000,000 tonnes of CO2.

Gases Carbon dioxide (CO2)

In terms of trends regarding key gases, data from several sources had suggested that CFC levels were stable or decreasing and currently amounted to 1.5 1.9 GT of carbon dioxide equivalents, HCFC levels were increasing by 1 3 per cent per year and currently amounted to 0.53 0.56 GT of CO2 equivalents, and HFC levels were increasing by 13 17 per cent per year and currently amounted to 0.36 GT of CO2 equivalents.

FCCC KP CMP 2005 3 Add.4

The fastest growing source of CO2 emissions for the majority of Parties was transport, where emissions were increasing even for some of those Parties which in 1995 registered lower levels of total CO2 emissions than in 1990.

The team saw several scenarios showing possible development paths that could lead to achievement of the Toronto target of a reduction in CO2 emissions of 20 per cent in 2005 from the 1988 level, as well as a stabilization of CO2 emissions at 1990 level.

Trees give off oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide.

Cars and trucks add up to about 25 percent of the world's CO2 emissions.

We can't see CO2 we depend on scientific measurements for it and we see the beginning results of having too much of it but we can see pre CO2 now floating on the waters and contaminating the beaches in the Gulf.

Now, as we breathe, we produce carbon dioxide, and that carbon dioxide needs to be scrubbed out of the system.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) Fuel combustion

Instead of cement usually emits a ton of CO2 for every ton of cement.

Projected CO2 emissions in this sector in 2000 are 5 per cent higher than 1990 levels, and 11 per cent higher in 2005.

CO2 as a building block.

C. Measures targeting carbon dioxide

The original target of the United Kingdom s GHG programme set in 1994 was to return CO2emissions in 2000 to their 1990 level by achieving a reduction of around 37,000 Gg CO2 or 10 million tonnes (Mt) of carbon (C).

This is mainly caused by a steep decrease in the emissions of CFCs, primarily from refrigeration plants (from 1.6 Gt CO2 eq to 0.3 Gt CO2 eq), responding to the requirements of the Montreal Protocol.

For 13 Parties, CO2 emissions from fuel combustion represented more than 90 per cent of the total CO2 emissions.

For Sri Lanka, the greater concern is on account of the entry into the lungs of human beings of toxic gases and particulate matter, including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrous oxide, sulphur dioxide and airborne carbon and lead.

(b) To reduce its anthropogenic emissions of CO2 over the period from 2000 x to 2000 x 5 at an average yearly level of not less than q per cent below the level of the year 1990.

Total CO2 emissions amounted to 2,387,000 Gg in 1990, which represented 11 per cent of the global CO2 emissions, making the Russian Federation the world apos s second highest emitter of energy related CO2.

Omissions identified by the review team include CO2 emissions from land use change, CO2 from incineration of carbon in waste, N2O from the manufacture of inorganic chemicals and N2O from animal wastes.

3 The anthropogenically produced greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4) nitrous oxide (N2O) hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).

At a minimum, information should be provided on the following greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).

The long term projections of CO2 emissions up to 2020 presented by ten Parties indicated that almost all of them expect a further growth of their CO2 emissions above the 2000 level.

Although CO2 mitigation is not the primary policy objective, these regulations affect the amount and share of fossil fuel consumption in primary energy transformation, which influences CO2 levels.

For the five Parties with decreasing CO2 emissions the range of reduction was from 2 to 22 per cent compared to the 1990 level.

(a) To maintain its anthropogenic emissions of CO2 over the period from 2000 x to 2000 x 5 at an average yearly level not more than p tonnes of carbon per capita or

emissions to air TRI toxics, sulphur dioxides, nitrogen oxides, CO2 etc.

They indicate that CO2 emissions are projected to decrease by 33 per cent, CO by 40 per cent, NOx by 8 per cent and NMVOC by 27 per cent.

The use of wood products in place of materials that are associated with the release of large volumes of carbon dioxide could lead to significant net reductions in carbon dioxide emissions.

The largest share of total GHG emissions expressed in CO2 equivalent was that of carbon dioxide, accounting for 83 per cent.

One car emits four tons.

Maybe they could extract carbon dioxide.

The Government of Luxembourg, while supporting the EC wide objective of stabilizing CO2 emissions by the end of the present decade at the 1990 level, has set a more stringent national target of reducing CO2 emissions by at least 20 per cent by 2005 compared to the 1990 level.
