This atlas demonstrates the potential for spatial analyses to identify areas that are high in both carbon and biodiversity. Such areas will be of interest to countries that wish to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from land use change and simultaneously conserve biodiversity.
This report proposes solutions for the cement industry which is responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions. It describes a scenario in which the industry sector grows to more than twice its size in volume by 2050 while it reduces its absolute CO2 emissions by approximately three quarters compared to …
This report gives a clear picture of the key role that the ICT industry plays in addressing climate change globally and facilitating efficient and low carbon development. The role of ICT not only includes emission reduction and energy savings in the ICT sector itself, but also benefits from the adoption …
This paper is an attempt to summarize the key scientific literature on climate change and forests, in particular those aspects that appear to have the most relevance to management and policy related to national forests in the United States. Topics explored begin with those relating to forests as ecosystems
This report documents a scenario analysis exploring the role of advanced technology in stabilizing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The conceptual framework for the analysis is a set of technology futures implemented in the MiniCAM integrated assessment model. Each future describes a set of technological developments over the 21st century, with …
The British government will take hefty revenues from its first carbon emissions permit auction on Wednesday rather than earmark the money for consumers or the climate it aims to protect, analysts and lobby groups said. The UK's Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) will auction 4 million permits out …
A directive that is intended to encourage carbon capture and storage is making its way through the EU approval process. There are clear problems with this technology however.
The European Union is in danger of losing its self-assigned role as the champion of climate change mitigation with member states increasingly worried about the economic implications of taking on far-reaching commitments.
The Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage Guidelines effort was initiated to develop a set of preliminary guidelines and recommendations for the deployment of CCS technologies in the United States, to ensure that CCS projects are conducted safely and effectively. As such, the CCS Guidelines are written for those who may …
This brief describes the potential role of government in facilitating widespread and more rapid deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage through a number of means including: providing financial incentives for initial CCS projects through the use of bonus allowances under a cap-and-trade program, or a fund generated by charges on …
Strong economic and political motives, combined with a partly positive and partly silent NGO community have contributed greatly to the present strong commitment towards the use of CCS in Norway. Overall, the strength of this commitment has had a negative effect on efforts to reduce the GHG emissions in sectors …
nsg India gets into nuclear family On September 6, the 45-member nuclear suppliers group (nsg) lifted its 16-year-old embargo on nuclear commerce with India. The tough negotiations in Vienna went down to the wire after China, which had sounded positive in the run-up to the nsg meeting took a different …
Australia will set up a A$100 million (US$80 mln) carbon capture research institute aimed at fighting climate shift and with ambitions of becoming the world hub for the technology, the government said on Friday. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said he would seek international backing for the institute at an address …
Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said Friday that his province, which has been riding a commodity-driven boom, should not be saddled with new environmental taxes as prices for oil and grain fall from their highs of a few months ago. Wall warned against carbon taxes or cap-and-trade schemes -- now being …
McKinsey has worked with leading institutions over the last 3 years to develop an understanding of the costs and potential of the options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions at both a global and regional level. This report takes a deeper look at one of these options, CO2 capture and storage …
Paris: Plant and soil can take up to two years to recover from an exceptionally hot year, a finding that has implications for the combat against global warming, according to research published on Wednesday. The recovery lag could cause a rethink about the ability of grasslands and soil to act …
Brussels would look favourably at member states giving financial support for plants to test almost carbon-free power production, which could help fight climate change, a European Commission official said on Monday. German utilities are among those worldwide that are seeking to pilot carbon capture and storage (CCS), which supporters hope …
Burning coal is the dirtiest, most old-fashioned way to produce electricity in the energy industry today. However, in the coming years many governments and energy companies are hoping to reinvent coal as a cleaner, more modern form of energy in the coming years, as they try to reconcile energy security …
