Climate change in Washington The main Global greenhouse Gas released in Washington include carbon dioxide (CO), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and other gases that contribute to global warming. The different emission types are placed into three categories: energy, industrial processes and agriculture. Different greenhouse gases range in their individual impact on global warming. For instance, one pound of nitrous oxide is 296 times more potent than a pound of carbon dioxide in contributing to global warming. This means even small quantities of gases emitted into the environment, like nitrous oxide, can have significant impacts on global warming. For Washington state in particular, energy
Industrial gas ambient temperature is low enough; this includes ethylene (R1150), carbon dioxide (R744), ethane (R170), nitrous oxide (R744A), and sulfur hexafluoride; however, these can only be liquefied under pressure if kept below their critical temperatures which are 9 °C for CH ; 31 °C for CO ; 32 °C for CH ; 36 °C for NO ; 45 °C for SF. All of these substances are also provided as a "Gas" (not a vapor) at the 200 bar pressure in a gas cylinder because that pressure is above their critical pressure. Other gases can only be supplied as liquid if also
