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 reductase competent unit. The Cu center can undergo a one-electron redox change and hence has a function similar to that in the well-known aa-type cytochrome "c" oxidases () where it serves to receive an electron from soluble cytochromes "c". Acetylene is the most specific inhibitor of nitrous-oxide reductase. Other inhibitors include azide anion, thiocyanate, carbon monoxide, iodide, and cyanide. Nitrous-oxide reductase In enzymology, a nitrous oxide reductase also known as nitrogen:acceptor oxidoreductase (NO-forming) is an enzyme that catalyzes the final step in bacterial denitrification, the reduction of nitrous oxide to dinitrogen. It plays a critical role in preventing release of a
