Electricity GenerationLearn More about Biomass
Had you ever heard of biomass techonology before you took this challenge? What did you learn that surprised you? Share this with your friends!
I agree, Yousif. Have you changed any of your habits about using electricity since you started this challenge. What did you learn about the biomass technoloy?
Globally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. How can you better support communities by supporting women? Can you share any past experiences that may help others take action?
i didnt know that Scientists estimate the Kigali accord will reduce global warming by nearly one degree Fahrenheit. Still, the bank of HFCs will grow substantially before all countries halt their use. Because 90 percent of refrigerant emissions happen at end of life, effective disposal of those currently in circulation is essential. After being carefully removed and stored, refrigerants can be purified for reuse or transformed into other chemicals that do not cause warming.
Great information. Thanks for sharing. This made me want to learn more. I read the article linked below. They have an interesting solution people can do:
"Maximize the efficiency of the fridge or freezer you have by keeping the coils clean and filling empty space in the freezer with jugs of water."
I didn't know that The power sector currently accounts for around 40 percent of annual greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, making it the highest-emitting sector, followed by industry and transportation.
I didn't know that In recent decades, tropical forests have suffered extensive clearing, fragmentation, degradation, and depletion of biodiversity. that was really interesting
I didn't know that he Pantheon was a Roman temple commissioned during the consulship of Marcus Agrippa 2,000 years ago and completed by the emperor Hadrian about 128 AD.
I didn't know that Wave- and tidal-energy systems harness natural oceanic flows—among the most powerful and constant dynamics on earth—to generate electricity.
