متن کاملA large increase in U.S. methane emissions over the past decade inferred from satellite data and surface observations
The global burden of atmospheric methane has been increasing over the past decade, but the causes are not well understood. National inventory estimates from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency indicate no significant trend in U.S. anthropogenic methane emissions from 2002 to present. Here we use satellite retrievals and surface observations of atmospheric methane to suggest that U.S. metha...
متن کاملField to Flight: A techno-Economic analysis of the Corn Stover to Aviation Biofuels Supply Chain
The United States Environmental Protection Agency reports that the transportation sector is responsible for 32% of the total CO2 emissions from combustion of fossil fuels. In 2012, it contributed 27% of total US GHG emissions (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency).
