nitrous oxide

“When you're combusting hydrogen, however, you get water vapor, but you also get nitrous oxides, the NOx emissions from the combustion process itself. So there is so it isn't necessarily zero emission.”

“Ammonia production alone is close to two percent of global emissions, and then its application creates actually an even larger amount of emissions in the form of nitrous oxide, which I keep teasing as a future topic, but is important.”

“Not only that, but emissions have been rising. They're up close to 30% over the last four decades.”

“N two O, which is also known as laughing gas, Is the third largest greenhouse gas in terms of impact on radiative forcing behind CO two and methane. It is a global worrying potential of 273 times that of CO two on a hundred year basis.”

“We have huge hog operations in North Carolina that's a long ways away from where we grow the corn and soybeans in Iowa and in Illinois. So we don't do a really good job of recycling the manure, so that's another place where more nitrous oxide is produced.”

“You have to be really careful that you're not going to tip the system to increase, for example, nitrous oxide production.”

“And then I think the next domino to fall is going to be nitrous oxide because that's the next most important greenhouse gas.”

“Nitrous oxide emissions, which is a powerful greenhouse gas, third, third largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the world behind the CO two and methane.”
