What does a Seawater Greenhouse do? The Seawater Greenhouse was designed to address the problem of irrigating crops in arid coastal regions by evaporating seawater and condensing it into fresh water.
This helps to reverse the trend of desertification created by normal industrial greenhouses, which can use up to five times more water to irrigate crops than the respective regions average annual rainfall.
The system works by mimicking the natural hydrological cycle where seawater heated by the sun,
Like the Seawater Greenhouse, CSP works well in hot arid areas where the sun is at its most powerful.
These CSP/Seawater Greenhouse technologies will work together at a location some distance from the north coast of Africa, hopefully at a point below sea level
The scheme has been designed as a hedge of greenhouses providing a windbreak and shelter for the outdoor planting.
CSP arrays will be placed at intervals along the greenhouse hedge. The greenhouses produce five time more fresh water than needed for the plants inside.
This surplus will be used to irrigate the planted orchards and the Jatrophra crop, which can be turned into biofuel for transportation and other needs.
and for the generation of steam to drive the turbines which the greenhouses can provide. 2. The Greenhouse evaporators make very efficient dust traps (as do plants that are growing outside)
and Seawater Greenhouses the design team has scaled vastly up the positive outputs of renewable energy, food production and fresh water supply.

According to our analysis at Energy Innovation the methane missing from the EPA's inventory in terms of the contribution to global warming over a 20-year time period would be equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions of 252 coal power plants.
At the same time that the scientific community is finding evidence that methane is being undercounted the newly released draft version of the U s. EPA's national greenhouse-gas emission inventory presents data showing that methane emissions from natural gas

In addition alternative fuels to petroleum must be readily available cost-effective and produced with low emissions of greenhouse gases.
and reductions in petroleum use and greenhouse gas emissions exceed the additional costs of the transition over and above
The report identified several scenarios that could meet the more demanding 2050 greenhouse gas goal.

Vehicles powered by electricity will not emit any greenhouse gases but the production of electricity and the additional load on the electric power grid are factors that must be considered.
However varying amounts of greenhouse gases are emitted during hydrogen production and the low-greenhouse gas methods of making hydrogen are more expensive
