Atmospheric Level

The need to cut CO 2 emission into the atmosphere is pushing scientists and technologists to discover and implement new strategies that may be effective for controlling the CO 2 atmospheric level (and its possible effects on climate change). One option is the capture of CO 2 from power plant flue gases or other industrial processes to avoid it entering the atmosphere. The captured CO 2 can be either disposed in natural fields (geological cavities, spent gas or oil wells, coal beads, aquifers; even oceans have been proposed) or used as a source of carbon in synthetic processes. In this paper, we present the options for CO 2 utilization and make an analysis of possible solutions for the conversion of large volumes of CO 2 by either combining it with H 2 , that must be generated from water, or by directly converting it into fuels by electrolysis in water using solar energy. A CO 2 –H 2 -based economy may address the issue of reducing the environmental burden of energy production, also saving fossil carbon for future generations. The integration of CO 2 capture and utilization with CO 2 capture and storage would result in a more economically and energetically viable practice of CO 2 capture.

Pollution and climate change due to the use of fossil fuel can no longer be denied, and this coupled with a waning supply of oil leads one to inevitably conclude that a clean, sustainable energy source is needed. That source is solar energy, the cleanest, safest, and most environmentally friendly energy source we have. In this paper, a photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system is used to generate electricity that will recharge a battery (DC 12V). The portable recharged battery will serve as the energy source for an electric vehicle. Moreover, in order to reduce manpower, a PC-based remote electrical monitoring technique used in the battery’s recharged system will be established via a TCP/IP network. Consequently, a PV solar panel with a 30 Watt capacity used to generate electricity using a PC-based monitoring system is exemplified.

As cidades brasileiras apresentam um grande potencial para o uso da energia solar fotovoltaica. O uso dessa tecnologia pode ser uma estratégia para mitigar os efeitos das mudanças climáticas regionais. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo determinar a estimativa da produção de energia solar fotovoltaica para residências unifamiliares brasileiras em cenários de possíveis mudanças climáticas projetadas até o final do século XXI. Para a simulação dos cenários climáticos foi utilizado o software PGECLIMA_R. Para estimar a energia elétrica produzida pelo sistema, foram utilizados dados diários de radiação solar global. Para avaliação dos dados, foi utilizada a Análise de Variância (ANOVA), com comparação de médias (teste de Tukey). Os dados simulados de radiação solar global apresentaram tendência decrescente em relação aos dados históricos. Todas as localidades indicaram taxas anuais de 98% de serviço do sistema, o que comprova que o Estado do Paraná-Brasil possui condições climáticas favoráveis para a instalação desses sistemas.
