<h1>What Exactly Are Greenhouse Gases, and How Does Biofriendly Help?</h1> <p align=right>by Bruce Boyers</p> <div align=justify>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 <a href="http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/1605/ggccebro/chapter1.html ">greenhouse gases</a>. 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. <a href="http://www.biofriendly.com/ ">Biofriendly Corporation's</a> 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. <a href="http://www.biofriendly.com/about_green_plus.htm ">Green Plus</a> 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.</div> <p align=center>Article source: <a href="http://www.ArticlePros.com/Science-Technology/Biotechnology/article-81840.html">ArticlePros.com</a></p> <table align=center width=550 cellspacing=1 bgcolor=silver cellpadding=5> <tr bgcolor=antiquewhite> <td> <p align=center><b>About the author</b></p> <p align=justify>Author, Bruce Boyers contributes articles on environmental issues for Biofriendly Corporation.
