Cooling ice rinks. For the first time at any Olympics, China is using CO2, collected from industrial waste gases, to cool ice rinks in its four ice sports venues. This is replacing the traditional hydrofluorocarbons which have been found to damage the ozone layer.

Organic waste sent to landfills emits CH4. Homes and commercial buildings use large amounts of energy for heating, cooling, lighting, and otherwise. Waste management. When solid waste decomposes in landfills, it creates landfill gas, which is primarily comprised of CO2 and CH4. Air conditioning and refrigeration.

There is no time to waste on false climate solutions like Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)—a fossil fuel with serious global warming and public health implications. To produce LNG, natural gas, more than 80% of which comes from hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) in the United States, is liquified by cooling it to -162 o Celsius (-260 o Farenheit).

volume mixing ratio), together with a number of trace gases, such as argon (0.93% volume mixing ratio), helium, radiatively active greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (0.035% volume mixing ratio), and ozone. Fluorinated gases are sometimes used as substitutes for stratospheric ozone-depleting substances (e.g., Greenhouse Gas (GHG).

Even if there is water available, heat waves can cause the water sources to be too hot, which can reduce the plant’s efficiency or even cause unsafe operating conditions because the plant can’t be adequately cooled. EPA has already finalized a rule that aims to address interstate ozone pollution , dubbed the Good Neighbor Plan.
