Analyses of permeability and porosity of sedimentary rocks in terms of unconventional geothermal resource explorations in Poland

open access: yesGeologos, 2016
Petrophysical investigations are fundamental to natural resource exploration. In order to recognise the geothermal potential of sedimentary rocks in central Poland, 259 samples were collected from prospective deep-lying geothermal reservoirs.

The Role of Fossil Fuel Combustion Metals in PM2.5 Air Pollution Health Associations

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2021
In this review, we elucidate the central role played by fossil fuel combustion in the health-related effects that have been associated with inhalation of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5).

COP26 and the dynamics of anti‐fossil fuel norms

open access: yesWIREs Climate Change, 2022
Notwithstanding the clear contribution of fossil fuel production and consumption to global greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuels have remained largely outside the focus of the international regime established by the United Nations Framework Convention ...

The impact of fossil fuel combustion on children's health and the associated losses of human capital

open access: yesGlobal Transitions, 2023
To more fully assess the far-reaching effects of fossil fuel combustion on humanity, it is necessary to gain an in-depth understanding of the full impact of fossil fuels on human health and lifetime potential.

A time series analysis of fossil fuel consumption in Sub-Saharan Africa: evidence from Ghana, Kenya and South Africa

open access: yesInternational Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management, 2018
This study investigated the determinants of the rising fossil fuel consumption for three Sub-Saharan African countries - Ghana, Kenya and South Africa - to help manage the rising consumption fossil fuel consumption.

Development of an efficient 3AP-DMEA-butanol-water phase change absorbent for CO_2 capture

open access: yes能源环境保护
Controlling CO_2 emissions from low-concentration sources like coal-fired power plants and steel mills is crucial for achieving "carbon neutrality" . Amine-based CO_2 capture technology is a leading contender for industrial application.

Non-deforestation fire vs. fossil fuel combustion: the source of CO2 emissions affects the global carbon cycle and climate responses [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2016
Non-deforestation fire – i.e., fire that is typically followed by the recovery of natural vegetation – is arguably the most influential disturbance in terrestrial ecosystems, thereby playing a major role in carbon exchanges and affecting many

An Analysis of Fossil-Fuel Dependence in the United States with Implications for Community Social Work

open access: yesCritical Social Work, 2019
This article examines fossil-fuel dependence in the United States with emphasis on the areas of transportation and food. It is argued that fossil-fuel dependence will cause significant social and economic problems in the future and that ongoing usage is ...

The Oxymoron of Carbon Dioxide Removal: Escaping Carbon Lock-In and yet Perpetuating the Fossil Status Quo?

open access: yesFrontiers in Climate, 2021
There appears to be a paradox in the debate over carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. On the one hand, CDR is recognised as a crucial technical option to offset residual carbon emissions from fossil fuel use, so that it can help a transition to the

Biofuel burning and human respiration bias on satellite estimates of fossil fuel CO2 emissions

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
The satellites that have been designed to support the monitoring of fossil fuel CO _2 emissions aim to systematically measure atmospheric CO _2 plumes generated by intense emissions from large cities, power plants and industrial sites.
