The United States and China, the world's top emitters of greenhouse gases, agreed to five initiatives on Wednesday to cut carbon output from the largest sources, including heavy duty vehicles, manufacturing and coal-fired plants, the State Department said. The U.S.-China climate change working group, which officials from both countries formed …
In order to meet stringent temperature targets, active removal of CO2 from the atmosphere may be required in the long run. Such negative emissions can be materialized when well-performing bioenergy systems are combined with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). Here, we develop an integrated global energy system and climate model …
A report prepared by Climate Analytics for CAN Europe that provides an analysis of the adequacy and feasibility of the 1.5°C long-term global limit. Scientific assessments have shown that impacts are projected to worsen significantly above a global warming of 1.5, or 2°C from pre-industrial levels. Such assessments have contributed …
Committee for climate change tells government current emissions cuts are too small to meet longer-term targets The UK is on track to miss its carbon targets in the 2020s, the government's advisers on climate change warned on Wednesday. Efforts to cut emissions are not happening quickly enough, and a looming …
Report from UNEP-Frankfurt School examines in detail how investment flows into renewables are evolving around the world, and the reasons for those changes. Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment 2013 is the sixth edition of the UNEP report. Based on data from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, it has become the …
This new IEA report maps out the out the current status and expectations of global climate and energy policy - what is happening and what (more) is needed? The energy sector is the single largest source of climate-changing greenhouse-gas emissions and limiting these is an essential focus of action. The …
This roadmap provides a quantitative assessment of the main catalytic processes in the chemical sector and their impact on the top (i.e. largest volume) 18 chemical products. It also describes some impacts on other catalytic processes using rough estimates based on publicly available information. The impact of a small number …
This Roadmap is an update of the 2009 IEA CCS Technology Roadmap. The energy landscape has shifted between 2009 and 2013 and new insights into the challenges and needs of CCS have been learned. This CCS roadmap aims at assisting governments and industry in integrating CCS in their emissions reduction …
The World Bank has released a series of publications on the importance of tackling the growing interlinkages between energy and water, as part of an initiative titled "Thirsty Energy." The brief, working paper, and initiative summary suggest that the already critical dependence of energy and water is likely to become …
Energy wasting amongst Brit's remains high despite 80% saying they consider energy saving measures, according to the latest Government figures. Published today, the Department of Energy and Climate Change's (DECC) latest public attitudes tracker, which surveys more than 2,000 people, found that 67% of people admit to at least occasionally …
The new planning approach will see changes to wind farm developments A revamp of planning rules in Scotland could see wind farms being outlawed in the country's national parks and designated scenic areas. Planning Minister Derek Mackay is also proposing to locate turbines further away from cities, towns and villages. …
The rapid expansion of renewable technologies is one of the few bright spots in an otherwise bleak assessment of global progress towards low-carbon energy, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in an annual report to the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM). The report, "Tracking Clean Energy Progress", introduces the Energy Sector …
For nearly 20 years, any company interested in green energy has known exactly where the global epicentre of renewable power is located: Europe. This remained the case through much of the financial crisis, and even the first chapters of the eurozone disaster. But, as the third anniversary of the Greek …
Energy‐intensive industries account for a significant part of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Industrial sectors such as cement, iron and steel, chemicals and refining represent one‐fifth of total global CO2 emissions, and the amount of CO2 they produce is likely to grow over the coming decades. Carbon capture and storage …
This Communication summarizes the state of play of CCS development and identifies the barriers that have prevented the technology from progressing in Europe at the pace initially foreseen in 2007. The Communication then discusses some of the possible options to promote the timely demonstration and early deployment of CCS in …
Researchers say that the natural ability of sea urchins to absorb CO2 could be a model for an effective carbon capture and storage system. Newcastle University scientists discovered by chance that urchins use the metal nickel to turn carbon dioxide into shell. They say the technique can be harnessed to …
Carbon capture and storage is a climate mitigation technology designed to reduce emissions from fossil-fuel power plants and industrial sources. This Perspective argues that the very limited implementation of carbon capture and storage technology so far is largely the result of political, economic and social factors, rather than a technological …
This study examines the contribution of renewable energy towards meeting the country’s energy security while eliminating power shortages and meeting the economic growth aspirations over the next twenty years i.e. till 2031. This study specifically explores the possibility of adopting RE generation based on its economics vis-à-vis that of other …
This roadmap sets out one pathway by which the Indian cement industry can reach its targets to improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions by 2050, thereby laying the foundation for low-carbon growth in the years beyond. This roadmap sets out one pathway by which the Indian cement industry can …
MPs have attacked the coalition for setting aside just £200m for carbon capture and storage in the current parliament while claiming to have earmarked £1bn for the low-carbon technology. The figures are in a Cabinet Office document uncovered by Labour that explains the exact amount of funding available for a …
