CO2
The primary human source of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is from the burning of fossil fuels for energy production and transport. In order to stop global warming, dramatic cuts in all CO2 emissions must be achieved: at least 25 to 40% below 1990 levels by 2020, and at least 80 to 95% below 1990 levels by 2050.
What are fossil fuels?
Oil, coal and natural gas are called fossil fuels because they are formed from the remains of plants and animals living millions of years ago. All fossil fuels are made up of hydrocarbons, and release carbon dioxide when burned.Currently, fossil fuels are the primary source for almost 80 percent of the industrial world’s energy.
MEXEL Industries’ product help reducing the CO2 emissions as follows:
MEXEL 432:
The efficiency increase of the unit treated with M432 can reach 1 to 3%, thanks to the much more effective heat transfer in the condenser and the improved condenser vacuum.
Typically, for a 1,500MW Power Station, the emissions reduction per year are:
• 100,000 to 300,000 Tons of CO2
• 50,000 to 150,000 Tons of SO2
• 10 to 30 Tons of NOx
This can be converted in CO2 credits.
MexFuel:
Similarily, MexFuel is reducing the deposit in the combustion chambers and hot gas path. This leads to an efficiency improvement of the combustion cycle which will decrease CO2 and CO emissions.
In collaboration with BeCitizen, http://www.becitizen.com Mexel provides its clients with the expertise to assess the carbon credits potential of its technology and can assist them to generate the carbon credits according to the Clean Development Mechanism procedures. Under certain conditions, carbon credits can be an additionnal source of revenues that can help financing the project.
