Science Of Climate Change And How Combined Cycle Power Plants

Scientific Report The science of climate change and how combined cycle power plants will slow its impact Pascal Nguyen School of Applied Science, RMIT University, Melbourne, Victoria 3021, Australia Abstract The increase in the emission of greenhouse gases has led to the increase in climate change; the consequence of unchecked pollution, where carbon emissions caused by human activity enters the air and causes negative impacts on the environment. One of the many negative impacts could be the change in the current state of the ocean and the melting of the cryosphere. One of the ways to combat the increase in climate change may be the addition of the combined cycle power plants and how its efficient ways will lower greenhouse†¦show more content†¦All of these factors, ultimately, affect the distribution, abundance, breeding cycle and migration of marine plants and animals that millions of people rely on for food and income. †¢ Cryosphere The plant’s frozen areas are some of the most sensitive to climate change, as climate change starts to increase, the mass loss of ice in these areas starts to increase leading to major problems such as the major problem of water levels rising. One of the ways the world is trying to fight back the increase in the greenhouse gas emission (GHG) is through the use of combined cycle power plants used to created energy for the population. A gas turbine generator produces electricity and waste heat is used to make steam to generate additional electricity through a steam turbine. The gas turbine is one of the most efficient one of the conversion of gas fuels to mechanical power or electricity, Through the research of the science of climate change, it is important to look at this topic as early as possibly can as it is the key to being able to change and make notice the way human kind acts on climate change. 1.1 Natural gas combined-cycle power plants The process for converting the energy in a fuel
