EPA finalizes rules to foster safe carbon storage technology actions part of efforts to reduce barriers to widespread deployment of carbon capture and sequestration, an important set of technologies to combat climate change
Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized two rules related to the capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies have the potential to enable large emitters of carbon dioxide, such as coal fired power plants, to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This technology allows carbon dioxide to be captured at stationary sources like power plants and large industrial operations and injected underground for long-term storage in a process called geologic sequestration. The new rules aim to protect drinking water and ... |

UK: Public sector can save £1 billion through energy efficiency
The Carbon Trust has identified immediate opportunities for the public sector to achieve net savings of £1 billion through energy efficiency projects, it was announced today. The projects proposed could reduce carbon emissions from public organisations by some 46 million tonnes over their lifetime: roughly equivalent to the carbon footprint of London in one year. The announcement was made today at a meeting in London of around 200 public sector organisations that have worked with the Carbon Trust to reduce their energy bills and carbon footprints.
