INTRODUCTION

Mongolia is located to the north of China and is said to host 10% of the world’s known coal reserves which is estimated to be equivalent to 162 billion tons. Coal export accounts for the largest chunk of total Mongolian gross domestic product (GDP) at roughly 22%. This is equal to approximately 80% of the county’s exports (Voroshilov 34). In the country, production and exportation of coal, specifically coking coal, is primarily undertaken by the Mongolian Mining Company (MMC). Coking coal refers to a type of coal that is absolutely essential to the process of steel production. ...

Introduction

An estimate of 861 billion tons of coal deposits exist worldwide. According to the present rate of production, this amount can last for 112 yrs contrary to the oil and gas reserves that will last for fewer years approximately 45 to 54. Several countries in the world have coal reserves found in the biggest ones are China, Russia, USA and India. To prove recoverable reserves, engineers drill on the ground hence technically and economically extractable.
In contemporary times, reaching peak coal is questionable due to fall in the ratio of reserves to production. The point when there is ...

Introduction

Industries in West Virginia have violated the state-issued permit of pollution by releasing toxic substances such as coal ash and selenium into the local water supply. In addition to the threat toxic substances like coal ash and selenium pose to the health of the community, toxic water destroys the environment and destabilizes the local ecosystem of the areas impacted by such pollution. West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) was formed as a guidance tool to aid persons to know when it is environmentally secure to withdraw water from the stream. This judgment is built on percentages of yearly ...

Externality is a situation in which the activity of one entity affects the welfare of another entity in a way that is outside the existing market (Rosen, 2005, p. 47). Simply put, externalities are the costs or benefits that arise from market transactions which are not reflected in prices. And when we speak of negative externalities, obviously, these are costs to third parties (other than the producer and consumer). Why is there negative externality? I learnt from Economics that under a competitive system, the market price of a good takes into account both the negative and positive effects of using the good. However, ...

Introduction

Air pollution in Britain can be dated as far back as the 12 century. According to history, the root of air pollution in this era was the continuous use of coal as a means of fire for cooking or heating by the early people. Because of the over use of domestic fire, smoke mixed with other pollutants caused major pollution on a local level which then after a period became more than a local problem but instead a national problem. As Great Britain grew, and urban setting started cropping up so did air pollution. Most urban settings at the time still used firewood as ...

How Fossil Fuels Shaped America and Its Environment

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution in the United States in mid 18th century, large amounts of fossil fuels were used to provide energy to the industries in the economy and ultimately influenced the wealth of numerous individuals in America. During the American industrial revolutions, fossil fuels were the ideal source of energy that drove the rapid growth of industries in America. Steam locomotives, that were the archetypal machine invention of the industrial revolution, utilized coal energy for the lack of sustainability while using charcoal and firewood energy. Since the beginnings of the industrialization in 19th century, petroleum ...

Introduction

These days, after the rise of industrial revolution, almost every economy is dependent on industrial activities which businesses pursue to not only make profits but create value for the society at large. While pursuing such an activity, the manufacturing concerns are also required to take care of the environment as well. This is because the production activities not only involve the release of dangerous wastes but also involve the emission of carbon dioxide gas which is harmful for society, environment and marine life as a whole resulting in a rise of global warming.
Carbon dioxide (having a chemical formula of CO2) ...

Energy has played an important role in building the world economy today. From enabling man to perform daily activities to enhancing the functioning of many industries, it is sensible to state that energy is of great importance to the world. Due to its importance, fossil fuels such as coal have thus been burnt down to create energy. However, different negative effects are associated with burning such fuels to the environment. For instance, global warming gasses are emitted thus, causing global warming as a result of carbon monoxide, which is emitted while burning coal. Despite their disparities, both developed and ...

Abstract

The concentration of carbon dioxide has been abnormally increasing over the years. In the year 2016, its concentration exceeded the limitations, and has been considered as a dangerous situation. As a response to the increasing carbon dioxide content in the Earth’s atmosphere, different processes are being suggested in order to lower the concentration. Carbon Capture and Storage, or CCS, is one of these processes. Generally, there are three different phases of this process: the pre-combustion, the oxyfuel, and the post-combustion. These three phases have different processes in which the carbon dioxide content is being separated from the other ...

It is a process of constantly renewing the structure, direction, and capabilities of organization with the purpose of serving the ever-changing needs of internal ...

Sulphur Dioxide and Our Planet

Sulphur Dioxide is a colourless pungent gas which is highly soluble in water. Fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gases contain sulphur. When burnt in motor vehicles, power stations and in other industrial applications, sulphur reacts with oxygen and its compounds in the combustion process to form Sulphur Dioxide. These are the artificial sources of Sulphur Dioxide. Apart from these, Sulphur Dioxide is produced naturally in huge quantities during volcanic eruptions and forest fires. It is the most chemically active compound produced by volcanoes. Apart from natural sources, Sulphur Dioxide is also produced in anthropological activities like ...

In the United States, power is generated from various sources. In 2014 alone, 4,093 billion KWh units were produced. The majority of these came from fossil fuels while renewable energy sources accounted for around 17%. The high percentage of fossil fuels used for electric power generation as compared to renewable energy sources leads to a more a pronounced environmental impact. The table below shows the percentage of the total power produced by the four major energy sources in 2014.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and two methods of reducing these emissions

Greenhouse gas emissions are a rising concern facing the entire world today. Greenhouse gasses are essentially those chemical compounds found on earth which allow the passage of sunlight into the earth’s atmosphere. When the sun shines down upon the earth it emits light that penetrates into the Earth’s surface, however some of this light is reflected back into the space in the form of heat or infrared radiation. It is this radiation that is absorbed by the green house gasses and retained within the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are necessary to maintain the atmospheric temperature on earth. According to ...

The Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 18th century, spreading all across Europe before it finally reached North America and Canada at a later date. The late arrival of the revolution to the colonies was, at least in part, due to the distance between them and the countries of Europe. We can, however, also demonstrably say that the slowness of the revolution in Canada at least was due to the sheer distances involved in the colonies themselves. This paper will examine the industrial revolution in Canada, moving from general terms to specific ones, in order to show ...

Among the various issues faced by societies globally is the danger associated with the so-called global warming or climate change. Although often used interchangeably, global warming and climate change are two different scenarios that have synergistic relationship. Defined as the overall increase in the global temperature due to excessive accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, global warming differs from climate change which is defined as the abnormally drastic change in climate patterns which have started since the beginning of the 20th century. Despite their differences, global warming and climate change are often seen as two inseparable phenomena. The ...

Today, one of the global issues people face to is different types of pollution. With human development, pollution is becoming worse, and as a result, other issues appear. Among them are global warming, new diseases, deforestation and many others. But, it was not like this all the time, as at the beginning the level of pollution was not so high. Otherwise, it would have been an apocalypse already. That was the industry development that caused global pollution.

Despite the call for increased environmental awareness, most people remain unaffected by environmental concerns. Although it is an accepted fact that the environment is everyone’s concern, most individuals and organizations take their social responsibility to nature for granted. Most environmental programs are not taken seriously. For instance, most people knew that throwing litter could adversely affect the environment yet evidence show that this awareness is of no effect or is taken for granted. Cigarette butts, for example, still constitute the largest percentage of street litter, which according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is ...
