The fossil fuel industry has systematically contaminated our environment with a wide range of toxic chemicals for over a century. It is one of the so-called criteria air pollutants , along with NOx, SOx, carbon monoxide (CO), and lead 5. Bermix Studio/Unsplash PM2.5: A subset of these particles, called PM2.5,

It turns out that most of them are 50-60% reliant on fossil fuels, with a lot of the remainder coming from nuclear and hydro. However, there are important differences in the mix of gas and coal in generation, which matters a lot since coal-fired generators emit much more carbon per kilowatt. Fossil Fuel Use.

Eight percent of those deaths were attributed to carbon monoxide poisoning. Without electricity or heat, some people apparently turned to portable generators, which can fill a home with carbon monoxide exhaust. In 2021, Winter Storm Uri killed at least 246 Texans.

SMR requires steam, heat, and pressure to convert methane (in natural gas) to hydrogen and carbon monoxide. SMR is a high-carbon process that uses fossil fuels for process heat. They typically refer to fossil SMR hydrogen as “ grey ” hydrogen. We make hydrogen mainly using steam methane reforming (“SMR”).

We should do everything we can to reduce the effects of global warming and that means burning less fossil fuels, which includes burning less gas. Heat pumps run on electricity and do not emit any greenhouse gasses so using one will be part of your contribution to reducing the effects of climate change.
