All Flashcards
What is the effect of over-harvesting wood?
Deforestation and habitat loss.
What is the effect of burning biomass?
Releases CO2, carbon monoxide, and other pollutants.
What is the effect of using ethanol as fuel?
Reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
What is the effect of deforestation?
Habitat destruction and reduced carbon sequestration.
What is the effect of using landfill gas?
Reduces methane emissions from landfills.
What is the effect of unsustainable biomass practices?
Habitat destruction and reduced biodiversity.
What is the effect of using wood chips as fuel?
Reduces landfill waste.
What is the effect of using biomass?
Job creation in harvesting, transportation, and plant operation.
What is the effect of high initial investment costs for the power plant?
Economic losses if deforestation leads to soil erosion and reduced agricultural productivity.
What is the effect of fluctuating fuel costs depending on wood availability?
High initial investment costs for the power plant.
What are the effects of over-harvesting biomass?
Deforestation, habitat loss, soil erosion, reduced biodiversity.
What are the effects of burning biomass?
Releases CO2, CO, NOx, particulates, and VOCs into the atmosphere.
What are the effects of using ethanol instead of gasoline?
Reduced reliance on fossil fuels, lower carbon emissions (potentially).
How can sustainable harvesting protect environment?
Maintains forest cover and biodiversity.
How can using waste biomass help protect environment?
Reduces landfill waste and methane emissions.
How can improving EROI of ethanol help protect environment?
Makes it a more sustainable fuel source.
How can reforestation help protect environment?
Restores habitats and sequesters carbon.
How can using biomass for local energy help protect environment?
Reduces reliance on external sources.
How can using biomass for local energy help protect environment?
Reduces reliance on external sources.
How can sustainable practices help protect environment?
Maintains habitat and biodiversity.
How can reducing reliance on fossil fuels help protect environment?
Reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
How can job creation in harvesting, transportation, and plant operation help protect environment?
Local energy source, reducing reliance on external sources.
How can job creation in harvesting, transportation, and plant operation help protect environment?
