What Exactly Are Greenhouse Gases, and How Does Biofriendly Help?

Article Abstract by: arpitamishra

Per the U.S. Energy Information Administration web site, there are a
number of chemical compounds found in the Earth''s
atmosphere that act
as greenhouse gases. When sunlight strikes the Earth''s surface, some of
it is reflected back towards space as infrared radiation, or heat. Over
time, the amount of energy sent from the sun to the Earth''s surface
should be about the same as the amount of energy radiated back into
space, leaving the temperature of the Earth''s surface roughly constant,
but greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap it in the
atmosphere, causing conditions such as climactic change. Biofriendly
Corporation''s Green Plus liquid fuel catalyst greatly assists in easing
greenhouse gas emissions, and assists in restoring the proper balance.
"Carbon dioxide emissions, resulting from the use of petroleum,
represent 42 percent of total U.S. human-made greenhouse gas
emissions," says Robert W. Carroll, Chairman and CEO of Biofriendly
Corporation. "We are very pleased to offer a product which reduces such
emissions and contributes to restoring our atmosphere to a more natural
state."
According to the U.S.I.A. web site, concentrations of carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere are naturally regulated by numerous processes
collectively known as the "carbon cycle." While these natural processes
can absorb some of the net 6.1 billion metric tons of man-made carbon
dioxide emissions produced each year, an estimated 3.2 billion metric
tons is added to the atmosphere annually. The Earth''s positive
imbalance between emissions and absorption results in the continuing
growth in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
A large percentage of carbon dioxide emissions come from automobiles,
trucks and ships. The reason these vehicles create such a large amount
of carbon dioxide emissions is that they only convert 30-40% of the
fuel burned into energy, some of the wasted energy is converted into
exhaust emissions such as carbon dioxide. Green Plus converts more fuel
into energy with a "positive domino effect" - that is, a more complete
burn, a more linear burn and a cooler burn. This in turn delivers more
power, more torque, better fuel economy and fewer harmful emissions.
The best way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is to burn less fuel
and Green Plus can help to do this
