It has eventually and sometimes reluctantly become understood that climate change is directly influenced by the anthropogenic release of what are known as “Green House Gases – GHGs”. Their release into the earth’s atmosphere has been correlated with an increase in global temperature, which in turn, has been linked to weather change with potentially catastrophic impacts (IPCC, 2001). With such significant global impacts expected, it is therefore no surprise that a great deal of interest is being shown by industry and the media alike on highlighting the issues and also proposing methods of reducing the generation of GHGs.
