Environmental experts believe Shell …

UK carbon capture plants must get go-ahead within year, say MPs

The UK's first carbon capture and storage (CCS) plants must be fast-tracked and get the go-ahead within a year, according to a report from MPs. It describes the technology, which traps the carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning and buries it, as “vital to limit climate change”. The MPs on …

Coal Pushback: Carbon Limits for New Power Plants Must Be ‘Grounded in Reality'

The Environmental Protection Agency's proposed carbon dioxide emissions limits for new fossil fuel-fired power plants should be reworked to be “grounded in reality,” an industry group said May 12. The proposed rule, formally issued in January, set separatestandards for coal-fired and natural gas-fired generating units. The proposed performance standard for …

Power Decarbonization Cost Rises 22% to $44 Trillion, IEA Says

The cost of cutting carbon emissions from power generation enough to restrict global warming to safe levels is rising because growing coal use outweighs the progress in renewables, the International Energy Agency said. Investments of $44 trillion through 2050 are needed to decarbonize the energy sector, the Paris-based agency said …

Emissions reduction through upgrade of coal-fired power plants: learning from Chinese experience

Coal is the principal fuel for the global generation of electrical power. It is the leading source of power generation in OECD countries and the dominant fuel source behind economic growth in non-OECD countries. However, while coal provides over 40% of the world’s electricity, it is responsible for more than …

Step up action to curb global warming, or risks rise - UN

A United Nations report said on Sunday that governments must act faster to keep global warming in check and delays until 2030 could force them to use little-tested technologies to extract greenhouse gases from the air. The study, drawing on work by more than 1,000 experts, said a radical shift …

Act fast to curb global warming, or extract CO2 from air -UN

Faster action is needed to keep global warming to agreed limits and delays until 2030 could force reliance on technologies to extract greenhouse gases from the air, a U.N. report said on Sunday. The study, drawing on the work of more than 1,000 experts, said a shift from fossil fuels …

Leaked IPCC climate plan to worsen global warming - ecologists

Critics say bioenergy, carbon capture, among draft report's 'false solutions' to sustain business as usual economics A British environmental organisation that has reviewed the draft of a forthcoming UN IPCC report on mitigating climate change has questioned many of the document's recommendations as deeply flawed. Dr Rachel Smolker, co-director of …

Time running out to meet global warming target: U.N. report

Government officials and top climate scientists will meet in Berlin from April 7-12 to review the 29-page draft that also estimates the needed shift to low-carbon energies would cost between two and six percent of world output by 2050. It says nations will have to impose drastic curbs on their …

IPCC report proposes sucking carbon out of the air as climate fix
