Energy security, economic development and global warming: addressing short and long term challenges
Energy security, economic development and averting global warming are conflicting objectives in a fossil fuel economy. In the long run, sustainable development requires a shift to renewable energy sources. In the short run it requires swift action (IPCC) and different strategies. The article analyses a negative carbon process to co-produce electricity while reducing carbon concentration in the ...

Hydraulic Fracturing and the Environment Whitepaper - Analytical and Measuring Instruments
The recovery of natural gas and oil from untraditional wells is necessary for the economic stability of the United States. Shale gas deposits are deep below the earth’s surface and recovery of gas is expensive and requires millions of gallons of water mixed with chemicals, known as "fracking solution". Most fracking solution stays underground or returns to the surface mixed with formation ...

Shifting the burden – Should developing nations bear the load for emissions reduction?
Pledges by the three titans of greenhouse gas emission – Europe, the US and China, which are the three biggest fossil fuel consumers – fall “far short of fair” and may not be nearly enough to contain global warming, according to new research. In the complex game of power politics, development economics, environmental campaigning, climate science and greenhouse gas ...

Joey Bergstein: Vermont is ready for a clean, equitable transportation system
Seventh Generation is a company that, from the beginning, has had the future in its view. With every decision we make, we consider the impact on this and future generations — and no issue will have a greater impact on our collective future than the climate crisis. Seventh Generation has been working to accelerate a just transition to a clean energy economy — but we can’t do it ...

Is there a cointegrating relationship between Australia's fossil-fuel based carbon dioxide emissions per capita and her GDP per capita?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission per capita of Australia, a high-income economy with a fossil fuel-rich fuel-mix, is proven to have a strong cointegrating relationship with her gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. A conditional equilibrium correction model (ECM) has been developed to quantify the relationship between the two variables by employing the autoregressive distributed lag bound-testing ...

Alternative Fuel Preparation Technology Used in Cement Industry
Under the environment of global carbon emission reduction, cement production with low carbon emission is an important direction of cement industry development. How to maximize the value of solid waste is the difficulty of effective utilization of solid waste resources, and it is also a crucial process to replace fossil fuels in cement kilns. The alternative fuel preparation system provided by ...

Environmental ingenuity: These creative business ideas aim to be both sustainable and successful
Picture this: Out in the open ocean, rows of farmed kelp spanning an area about the size of Mexico. Once harvested and processed, this rapid-growing seaweed would be turned into a fuel that you could pump into your car. No more relying on fossil fuels that take millions of years to form—and whose emissions into the atmosphere are the biggest contributor to the Earth's rising temperatures. ...

If carbon pricing is so great, why isn’t it working?
Political hurdles and low prices have made carbon pricing a low-impact affair. But there’s still hope it can help limit climate change. Earth’s atmosphere has long served as a free dump for carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases generated by humans. That is changing as policy-makers embrace economists’ advice that the best way to cut greenhouse gas emissions is to charge an ...
