At last some common sense on the fight against global warming
The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the second part of its latest report on climate change in April. In addition to actions such as a four-fold increase in solar, wind, nuclear and carbon-capture and storage, the IPCC state that replacing coal-fired stations with modern gas-fired generation would “significantly reduce” greenhouse gas ...

Questions and Answers on the proposal for a directive on the geological storage of carbon dioxide
1) What is carbon capture and storage? Carbon capture and storage is a suite of technological processes which involve capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the gases discarded by industry and transporting and injecting it into geological formations. The major application for carbon capture and storage (CCS) is to reduce CO2 emissions from power generation from fossil fuels, principally coal and ...

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 ...

EU remains off track to meet Kyoto targets
Greenhouse gas emissions from the oldest European Union member states have declined slightly, according to the latest EU data. However, the decline occurred to such a small degree, according to data released on Wednesday (18 June) from the European Environment Agency, that if they continue at this pace, they will overshoot reduction targets set under the Kyoto Protocol in 1997. The EEA figures ...

Growth of Atmospheric Methane Stablizes, May Slow Global Warming
IRVINE, California, November 21, 2006 (ENS) - Levels of atmospheric methane, a potent greenhouse gas, have stayed nearly flat for the past seven years after rising for more than two decades, according to new research led by a Novel Prize winning scientist at the University of California-Irvine. This finding indicates that methane may no longer be as large a global warming threat as ...

Effects of electric vehicles on the climate
A new study suggests that a 50 per cent reduction in road transport emissions as a result of using more electric vehicles will result in a cooling effect on the climate. The researchers compared the overall impact on climate and air quality of sourcing electric power for vehicles from zero carbon sources, such as wind and solar power, and sourcing it from standard power plants. Road transport ...

It is time UN acted on climate change
Carbon emission caused by human beings has become a major issue for our environment and future economy due to changing climate. But there are still few countries who are sceptical about the science of climate change and reluctant to act and refuse to be a part of United Nation’s action on climate change. These countries are either fossil fuel producers such as coal, oil and gas or large ...
