The paper deals with one of the most significant natural sources of CO2. The massive forest fires in Siberia, Australia, California and other parts of continents release huge amounts of Carbon dioxide, the most interesting greenhouse gas. The Pyrocumulonimbus cloud development during the bushfire is described as well as its potential to ignite number of new fires as well as four dangerous phenomena causing the fatalities of the fire fighters. Not every national government reacts the same way on the massive natural...

Renewable resources? share in meeting the power balance in Romania grew constantly during the past decade. Therefore, the contribution of polluting energy sources (such as coal or oil) has progressively reduced. Moreover, to enable environmental impact mitigation for the still operating classical plants, proper desulphurization equipment were installed. It is remarked that the shares corresponding to hydro-energy and nuclear energy show an almost constant trend. Sensible investments were made in the energy sector,...

In more than ten years of research in the field of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Romania, several regions have been highlighted for their potential to contribute to the implementation of the technology in the country. Their delimitation has been made around large industrial stationary sources where promising storage and utilization options were available, considering favorable transport routes and small transport distances. The most promising and most studied regions for Romania are Oltenia and Galati. Olten...
