Carbon dioxide problems. Countermeasures to the carbon dioxide problem in hydrocarbon-fired plants
Description
Among the environmental problems discussed in this paper, global warming and the restriction of CFC are primarily thermal engineering issues. In particular, global warming, likely to be caused by an increase in the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, is one of the most essential and urgent environmental problems. In recent international conferences, held for example by UNEP, a proposal was made that carbon dioxide concentration be controlled under its 1898 level. However, this proposal may not be so forceful, since it is not clear whether the control is to be imposed on each country separately or on the developed countries as a whole. The vague content of the proposal may be attributed to the existing international situation, whereby the energy resources available to each country differ substantially
