Description

Alberta has a comprehensive air quality management system that is used to address air quality issues and concerns. Air quality can be affected by both natural and human sources. When substances from natural and anthropogenic, or human, sources accumulate in the atmosphere, air quality can degrade and affect human and ecosystem health.

Biogas : cleaning and uses

Description

Biogas consists of methane (CH4) and carbon-dioxide (CO2) along with some trace gases such as water vapour, hydrogen sulphide (H2S), nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbon dioxide and trace gases... More ≫

Description

Biogas consists of methane (CH4) and carbon-dioxide (CO2) along with some trace gases such as water vapour, hydrogen sulphide (H2S), nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbon dioxide and trace gases such as water vapour and H2S must be removed before the biogas can be used because: the hydrogen sulphide gas is corrosive; water vapour may cause corrosion when combined with H2S on metal surfaces and reduce the heating value

Description

Dissolved gases in well water are a common occurrence in Alberta. The major gases found in wells are methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and hydrogen sulfide. Information on hydrogen sulfide, a gas with a rotten egg odour, is discussed in Agrifacts 716 (D14) Removing Hydrogen Sulphide from Water, so hydrogen sulfide will not be discussed in this publication. Common problems with methane and carbon dioxide are “spurting” taps and priming problems (gas locking) in pumps. The gas problem varies in severity – from occasional “spurting” from the hot water taps to a constant flow of gas from the well casing.

Description

Alberta's response to climate change – Albertans & Climate Change: Taking Action – is designed to encourage Albertans to take steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensity and energy consumption, and begin to adapt to potential changes in climate. Taking Action is an integrated and innovative plan in which the capture and storage of carbon dioxide underground plays a key role.
