Sentence examples for unit of carbon from inspiring English sources

Yes, diesel engines are more efficient and achieve more miles per unit of carbon emitted, but that's not a good reason for taxing those emissions any less.

(If anything, it's a reason for taxing them higher, because for each unit of carbon emitted, a diesel car will create more local air pollution and road use).

The enormous costs for nuclear power per unit of carbon emissions avoided, compared with sun and wind, would worsen climate change by buying less solution per dollar.

Oil - which dominated next - has yet more hydrogen per unit of carbon; natural gas has even more, and its burning is the cleanest and most efficient of them all.

The unit of time is nanoseconds, and the unit of carbon isotopes is atomic mass.

A carbon tax would set a specific cost per unit of carbon dioxide, thus establishing a clear cost for carbon.

We multiplied our biomass estimates by 0.5 to convert above-ground dry biomass into units of carbon (C) [18].

We propagated these estimated mapping errors using field plot-to-LiDAR calibration errors that we established during validation (10% at 1 ha resolution; Figure 2b), using the square root of the sum of squared errors in units of carbon per hectare.

Since the current pool sizes of total CWD from remote sensing would be just slightly lower than the pre-1988 standing biomass amounts (due to combustion losses; [17]), and CASA annual NPP in units of carbon flux is roughly proportional (50% fraction; [30]) to the amount added to aboveground stem wood pools each year, a comparison of the two images generates a detailed forest regrowth product.

As Cancún ends with environmental issues and policy still on the table that will affect not only how future generations live, but how the planet copes with the enormous carbon foot print (greenhouse gases produced by humans measured in units of carbon dioxide, CO2 equivalent or CO2-eq), the voice of Sub-Saharan Africa needs to be front and center in the global debate.

Measures of NPP represent the amount of solar energy converted to plant organic matter through photosynthesis quantified as elemental units of carbon per unit time and area, whereas vegetation to burn is ostensibly the standing stock of biomass represented as units of carbon per area.
