Emissions trading market in pollution-licenses is more widely applicable than the market in emission-licenses. The international community began the long process towards building effective international and domestic measures to tackle GHG emissions (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydroflurocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride) in response to the increasing assertions that global warming is happening due to man-made emissions and the uncertainty over its likely consequences. That process began in Rio in 1992, when 160 countries agreed the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The UNFCCC is, as its title suggests, simply a framework; the necessary detail was left to be settled by the
Nitrous oxide fuel blend a "game changing" technology with the following characteristics: Recent work on the decomposition of nitrous oxide has raised concerns about the safety risks of mixing hydrocarbons with nitrous oxide. By adding hydrocarbons, the barrier to an explosive decomposition event is lowered significantly. Nitrous oxide fuel blend Nitrous Oxide Fuel Blend propellants are a class of liquid rocket propellants intended to replace hydrazine as the standard rocket fuel. The fuel and oxidizer are blended and stored; this is sometimes referred to as a "mixed monopropellant". Upon use, the propellant is heated or passed over a catalyst bed and the nitrous oxide
