give me at least one industrial chemical process relevant to a greenhouse effect
Ans. Thermal power plants burn coal at mass scale to produce electricity. Being greenhouse gas, the emitted CO2 from these thermal power plants directly contribute to the greenhouse effect.
Combustion of Coal : C + O2 ------------> CO2
Photosynthesis reaction: 6CO2 + 6 H2O -------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Note that both CO2 and H2O are greenhouse gases.
The agriculture industry, for example production of maize, wheat, rice and other scale, consumes CO2 during photosynthesis. So, this industry reduces the burden of greenhouse gases in atmosphere.
