Abstract

The ability of certain gases i.e., greenhouse gases (GHGs) to absorb energy (radiative efficiency), during their effective time in the atmosphere (lifetime) causing a warming effect known as Global Warming Potential (GWP) is described in this chapter. GHGs include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), water vapor (H2O), nitrogen oxides (NOx), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and ozone (O3) Among them, CO2 is the most abundant with its concentration growing at a rate of more than 2 ppm/y. Another concept considered regarding climate change is Radiative Forcing (RF), which was introduced to explain the net change in the energy balance of the Earth system due to some imposed perturbation, such as the increase of GHGs atmospheric concentration. The effort of countries represented in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), to achieve a temperature increase that does not exceed 1.5 °C by 2050 defined within an initiative known as the “Net-Zero” is introduced, as well as the rising of sea level and its possible effect on climate change. Emphasis is placed on the need for CO2 emission reductions. CO2 is a rather inert compound that can be either stored or utilized in the production of (longer lifecycle) products and/or in applications for its continuous recycle/reuse. This chapter includes the description of its properties, supporting uses or applications that will be discussed in Chap. 2.

Fußnoten
1
GMST is the estimated global average of near-surface air temperatures over land and sea ice, and sea surface temperatures over ice-free ocean regions, with changes normally expressed as departures from a value over a specified reference period. When estimating changes in GMST, near-surface air temperature over both land and oceans are also used.

The pre-industrial period of 1850–1900 was set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to approximate pre-industrial GMST that would have been observed during the multi-century period prior to the onset of large-scale industrial activity around 1750.
