In the absence of oxygen, micro-organisms feast on organic materials like manure or yard waste, excreting about 70 percent methane and 30 percent carbon dioxide, the components of biogas.
ALBANY: JUDGE UPHOLDS ACID RAIN STANDARDS A state judge yesterday upheld state air pollution regulations that seek to reduce power plant emissions of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide, main components of acid rain.
When landfill gas (LFG) is upgraded as an alternative natural gas or vehicle fuel, in addition to the separation of carbon dioxide, several components such as water vapor, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), oxygen (O2) and siloxanes are also need to be eliminated to meet the demands of the corresponding standards.
The rule, which takes effect in 2012, would cut emissions of sulfur dioxide, a component of acid rain, and nitrogen oxide, a component of smog, by more than half by 2014 compared with 2005 levels.
The same message applies to the other proposal on Mr. Leavitt's desk, a rule aimed at major reductions in sulfur dioxide, a component of acid rain, and nitrogen oxides, which contribute to both smog and acid rain.
