Humans undermine nature’s help in war on climate change, UN agency warns
Humankind is undermining a crucial natural ally in the battle against climate change through its activities in the world’s oceans and marine ecosystems, such as seagrasses, salt marshes and coastal wetlands, according to the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). These ecosystems absorb and remove large quantities of global warming carbon emissions from the atmosphere each day, yet “the ...

Concentrating emissions
Researchers at MIT have shown the benefits of a new approach toward eliminating carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions at coal-burning power plants. Their system, called pressurized oxy-fuel combustion, provides a way of separating all of the carbon-dioxide emissions produced by the burning of coal, in the form of a concentrated, pressurized liquid stream. This allows for carbon dioxide sequestration: ...

Carbon capture and storage - new research from UKERC shows tough road ahead to realise potential
Government plans to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to reduce carbon emissions received a cautious welcome today. A new report concluded that most of the uncertainties facing these technologies can - in principle - be resolved. Carbon capture and storage: realising the potential? is the culmination of a two-year project funded by the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The ...

New report shows slowdown in mangrove losses - providing a last best chance for global action to protect coastal forests
Today the Global Mangrove Alliance released their inaugural report, The State of the World’s Mangroves, a compilation of the most current information available on what we know about mangrove forests and what’s being done to reverse the downward trends impacting the forests and the local communities who depend on them. Due primarily to human-caused deforestation, some 4.3% of ...

New study finds major policy intervention required to boost carbon capture potential
A WRI analysis of the complex challenges that investors would face when deploying carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies shows that until government policies support large-scale demonstrations it is unlikely that CCS will be able to fulfill its potential in combating climate change. Carbon capture and storage, the process whereby carbon dioxide from a coal-fired power plant is injected ...
