Climate change in Washington related emissions are the dominant source of GHG emissions and have increased from 61.2 MMT CO-equivalent (CO-e) in 1990 (excluding residual fuel for transportation) to 74.6 MMT CO-e in 2004, while their share has increased from 79% of total emissions to 85% over the past fourteen years. Carbon dioxide is the dominant GHG followed by methane, nitrous oxide, perfluorocarbon and sulfur hexafluoride. Non-energy industrial global greenhouse gas emissions have lowered from 14% to 9%, mainly due to reduced emissions from aluminum production. This has been the result of two key elements: process changes that reduced CO and PFC emissions per
Nitrous oxide engine War II usage of nitrous oxide injector systems were modifications of Merlin engines carried out by the Heston Aircraft Company for use in certain night fighter variants of the de Havilland Mosquito and PR versions of the Supermarine Spitfire. Nitrous oxide engine A nitrous oxide engine is an engine which requires oxygen for burning the fuel in order to create power (mainly stems from the decomposition of nitrous oxide (NO) rather than air). The system increases the internal combustion engine's power output by allowing fuel to be burned at a higher-than-normal rate, because of the higher partial pressure of oxygen
