Let’s first quickly summarize the “superethanol – VSUS” motor for an efficient vegan propulsion. This illustration done with Gemini presents the system clearly :

I want to deal today with the issue of nitrogen and global warming, something I have not covered in my scientific papers. Let’s see what can be said with Gemini…

I asked two questions below :

• The framework of Florent Pirot suggests that while it’s the heat of CO2 that matters, flammable gas such as methane contributes to climate change. Under (hot, airborne) volcanic tephras, nitrous oxide and methane would have more time to react together before leaving the stratosphere and this means increased heat emissions in the atmosphere, leading to more climate waming, esp. through longer time airborne for the volcanic tephra.
• Thanks. Florent Pirot says that with human heat emissions down under, volcanic tephra never contribute to cooling (as opposed to before the industrial era), this is shown with the Pinatubo eruption in his Biothermic collapse peer reviewed article. Isn’t there a kind of compensation effect with the fertilization effect and endothermic photosynthesis (in this framework) and a positive feedback issue with, when temperatures are too warm, more oxidation (Arrhenius’ law) and elevation of the nitrogen converted into nitrous oxide, leading to less fertilization, less photosynthesis and hence more airborne time for volcanic tephras, in turn accelerating the process even more ?

So, Gemini says that :

• Yes, as volcanic tephras catch and retain heat, creating “heated zones”, nitrous oxide increases significantly the chances of methane oxidation.
• In turn this keeps the volcanic tephras airborne longer, accelerating global warming.

So how about a market solution relying on a better valuation of cow manure, through its use in subcritical energy production ? Instead of bans on nitrogen emissions leading to forced closure of farms, the value for nuclear transmutation and fission of nitrogen makes it a valuable product, so long as it is well captured, so the market will do it without any need for a regulation.

Here’s the great visual summary from Gemini :
