Abstract

For most people “climate change” is synonymous with the “greenhouse effect.” A critical factor in climate change is emissions of carbon dioxide, CO2. In this chapter we restrict our discussion primarily to the question of the volume of reserves of fossil fuels that can generate future CO2 emissions.

Zurück zum Zitat Numerous conversion factors are in use for comparing the energy content of dry natural gas and oil. When examining world production, HIS (http://www.ihs.com) uses 1 boe  =  6 kcf. However, the energy content per unit volume of natural gas can differ depending on the source of the natural gas. If we use the heat content values for volumes of oil and natural gas given by the American Physical Society (http://www.aps.org/policy/reports/popa-reports/energy/units.cfm) then we calculate a conversion factor 1 boe  =  5.64 kcf. In our discussions in this chapter we have used this number since it is related to the energy content and CO2 emission potential of these fossil fuels Numerous conversion factors are in use for comparing the energy content of dry natural gas and oil.
