Causes of Green House

Effect
The principal cause of Green-House
effect is the increase in the quantity
of green house gases like CO in the
2

atmosphere. The naturally

occurring "Green House gases",
including carbon dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide and water vapor, keep
ground temperature at a global
average of 15 Celsius. without this
0

natural blanked earth's surface

would be about 30 Celsius colder
0

than it is today, making the planet a

freezing barren, lifeless place
similar to Mars. The green house
gases keep the surface warm
because as incoming solar radiation
strikes earths, the surface gives
off infrared radiation or heat, that
the gases temporarily trap and
keep near ground level.
Problem from Green
House Effect
The problem is that human activity
may be making the green house gas
blanket "thicker" For example,
burning tonsil fuel throws huge
amounts of CO into the air, the
2

destruction of forests allows

carbon stored in the trees to escape
into the atmosphere and other
activities such as raising cattle and
planting rice emit methane, nitrous
oxide, and other green house gases.
Until man kind began burning fossil
fuels, green house gases that occur
naturally remained in relative
balance. But the beginning of the
Industrial Revolution in Britain
ushered in rapid industrialization
that greatly increased man's
assault on the ecology.
Importance of Carbon
Dioxide- The Green House
Effect
Carbon dioxide present in small
proportion (0.03%) is nonetheless a
very important member of the
atmosphere. The proportion of (O ) is
2

maintained by a host of difference

processes. The major consumers of
CO from the atmosphere are the
2

green plants use the CO to prepare

2

their tool and the oceans dissolve

the CO in the form of carbonates.
2
The major suppliers of CO to the 2

atmosphere are the volcanic earth

processes and living organisms. The
atmosphere gains CO from the 2

volcanoes which release this gas

from the interior of the earth and
from organisms in the process of
their respiration and decay. In this
manner both the atmosphere and the
oceans continuously exchange
CO with the rocks, plants and higher
2

organisms.

VII. REDUCTION AND CONTROL MEASURES

OF GREENHOUSE GASES

Reduction of GHGs is central to all nations

because the brunt of the problem is global
and no one country or group of countries can
provide its own remedy. for power
generation and carbon dioxide
sequestration to promote the concept of
sustainable development. Beside the GHG
mitigating potential of renewable energy
resources, energy security guarantee is
swiftly becoming a reality with the
exploitation of different renewable energy
resource.

1.Clean development mechanism

Clean development mechanism is a

fundamental idea of Kyoto Protocol under
the canopy of the United Nations
Framework on Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC). Developing countries are
more actively involved in the development
of renewable power generation in line with
the proposed CDM. In 2009, developing
countries hosted 53% of global RE power
generation.

B. Green energy portfolio standard

B. Green energy portfolio standard Green

energy is a type of energy produce
conventionally with a reduced amount of
negative environmental impact. Green
energy is sometimes called renewable
energy. Renewable energy application has
become an essential ingredient with
significant role in the expedition for GHG
reduction and increasing the chance for
sustainable development.
C. Financing low carbon energy

CO2 emission resulting from the

combustion of petroleum products
contributes substantial quantity of
greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. As a
critical factor towards development, a
secure access to modern energy is essential
for development. With the current global
acknowledgement on the need to reduce
emissions from energy, financing low carbon
energy can be used as a strategy to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.
