Benefits and Harms of Hydrocarbons on the environment

on

Benefits:

  • Lower potential for global warming. HCs have a very minimal capacity to cause global warming, as the statistics given at the beginning of this essay demonstrate. Therefore, using hydrocarbons significantly reduces CO2 emissions.
  • Hydrocarbons provides energy quickly and is moderately reliable.
  • Oil and natural gas are hydrocarbons that have played a significant role in expanding economies and enhancing quality of living.
  • A rise in energy effectiveness. Our case studies demonstrate that switching from the HFC R404A to the natural refrigerant R290 can, on average, result in an increase in energy savings of up to 10%.


Harms:

  • Massive oil spills are a clear cause of harm to ecosystems and human health. Large quantities of oil exposure may impair both human and animal respiratory function. The oil can also poison animals that consume it.
  • Two hydrocarbons that have the potential to significantly affect the atmosphere are methane and chlorofluorocarbons. As methane oxidizes to carbon dioxide (CO2), more CO2 enters the atmosphere, enhancing the greenhouse effect and accelerating global warming.
  • Burning gases causes global warming and oil spills are harmful to the ocean and animals.
