Chemistry and Climate Change Flashcards
1
Q
radiative forcing
A
adsorption of IR radiation, depends on conc, wavelength it adsorbs at and strength of adsorption
2
Q
GWP
A
measure of how much energy emissions of set amount of gas adsorb over a given period of time wrt CO2
3
Q
sorbant
A
material used to adsorb gas
4
Q
why difficult to capture CO2 from air?
A
need to compress large amounts of air to pass it through a sorbant which is energy intensive
