Burning ethanol also releases large quantities of nitrogen oxide (smog) that causes respiratory disease.
Carbon monoxide emissions would go down by 9%, nitrogen oxide emissions by 7%.
Ertel was soon a big producer at Natsource, trading sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, carbon and even weather derivatives.
While nitrogen oxide emissions have dropped from more than 6 million tons per year to less than 2 million.
The Indiana-based utility is investing in the required equipment to reduce its sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and mercury pollution.
It also releases double the other pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act that include sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.
The process that smokestack "scrubbers" use to reduce nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions creates high-quality synthetic gypsum, said Robert E.
According to EPA, the levels of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide would have been cut in half under the cross-state rule.
FORBES: Winning the Presidency: Banking Clean Air or Bucking EPA?
In the meantime, however, China is struggling to meet its set environmental targets, including reducing sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.
The Paradise plant in Kentucky is the dirtiest for nitrogen oxide pollution.
CNN: Nature - America's most wanted: Power plants urged to clean up their act
The largest problem is the dangerous amount of nitrogen oxide (which mixes with vehicle-exhaust gas to create ozone, and then smog) coughed out by the state's industrial plants.
Originally scheduled to go into effect on January 1st, the rule would have required 27 upwind states to dramatically reduce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions by 2014.
FORBES: Court Curbs On EPA Offer A Breath Of Fresh Air For Recovery
The problem remains, though, that while the technology is able to cut carbon dioxide emissions, it may still increase another one: nitrogen oxide, tied to smog and acid rain.
He was made aware of the concerns by a Cotswold councillor asking what could be done about high levels of nitrogen oxide (NO2) in the area off the A417.
The engine would use at least 25% less fuel and, he claims, its emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide would be cut by three-quarters because of its unique ignition properties.
The two judges said that EPA has been overstepping its authority by requiring power companies to reduce their sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide levels at greater rates than what the law had intended.
FORBES: Winning the Presidency: Banking Clean Air or Bucking EPA?
For important pollutants monitored by the EPA, natural gas power cuts carbon monoxide emissions by 81%, nitrogen oxide emissions by 80%, sulfur dioxide emissions by 99%, mercury emissions by 100%, and particulates by 99%.
FORBES: The Sierra Club Fails An Environmental Consistency Test
The national temperament is changing with the U.S. Congress enacting tougher rules on sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and mercury while the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is beginning to clamp down on greenhouse gases.
FORBES: A Wounded Coal Industry Seeks To Unseat A Rockefeller Who Turned On Them
The report analyzed data for 2010 and found in that year that emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide were 68% lower than in 1990 and had fallen 32% and 31% respectively just since 2008.
FORBES: Coal-Fired Carbon Emissions Fall As Transition To Cleaner Energy Accelerates
The latter include health-damaging and smog-forming airborne pollutants like hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde, as well as greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and other compounds.
The new rule required about half the states to reduce their emissions of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and other emissions based on projections of how many pollutants were crossing state lines, and told them how to do it.
Power plants that burn coal produce more than 90 times as much sulfur dioxide, five times as much nitrogen oxide and twice as much carbon dioxide as those that run on natural gas, according to the Government Accountability Office, the regulatory arm of Congress.
CNN: Nature - America's most wanted: Power plants urged to clean up their act
Rather than eliminate nitrogen oxide via a bulky chemical treatment system that even the EPA questioned initially, EGR would make the motor do all the work by piping exhaust gas back into the cylinders and burning it again a cleaner, cheaper, lower-maintenance solution, which would set Navistar ahead of the pack.
FORBES: Death By Hubris? The Catastrophic Decision That Could Bankrupt A Great American Manufacturer
What ails Modesto is what ails Bakersfield (No. 1), Hanford (No. 3), Fresno (No. 4) and other small Central Valley cities (the Valley accounts for all the California cites on the list aside from Los Angeles): heavy doses of nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbons stemming from gasoline, chemical processing, paints and other industrial byproducts that harm the ozone and release particle pollution into the air.
The result, when it is burned, is the near-complete abolition of soot, and a reduction of up to 80% in nitrogen-oxide emissions.
He's known for performing "cryosurgery"--a form of surgery that uses liquid nitrogen or nitrous oxide to freeze off cancerous tumors rather than cutting them out or amputating the host limb.
Fuel cells offer several advantages: they do not have moving parts and there is no burning involved, so there are negligible emissions of environmentally harmful gases like nitrogen, sulfur oxide and carbon monoxide.
