Despite the economic downturn and rising prices, global energy demand continues to rise; so do carbon emissions. In 2008 the world will use 50 per cent more oil, gas and coal than in 1980. Emissions from fossil fuels will be 30 per cent higher than in 1990
Paris: Climate change could release unexpectedly huge stores of carbon dioxide from Arctic soils, which would in turn fuel a vicious circle of global warming, a new study warned on Sunday. And according to one commentary, current models of climate change have not taken this extra source of greenhouse gas …
of greenhouse gases, is of major concern in terms of the global warming phenomenon. To mitigate the effect of atmospheric CO2, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been found to be an important tool. The present study aims at explaining the role of soils as one of the most important …
Special Correspondent NEW DELHI: Union Minister for Science and Technology Kapil Sibal has called upon the developed world to take urgent steps to reduce emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases so as to minimise the adverse impact on global climate. Responding to a suggestion from one of the …
This paper presents the background and policy issues surrounding development of a commercial market for captured carbon dioxide, and seeks to foster among policymakers a deeper understanding of : both the generation and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies involved, as well as their costs; the technical and regulatory barriers …
THE Federal Government's draft legislation for a world-first regulated carbon capture and storage (CCS) system has failed to pass muster with the very groups it is meant to help, including backers of the $5 billion Monash Energy coal-to-liquids project in the Latrobe Valley. Complaints with the draft legislation raise doubts …
Even in the most alternative-friendly future imaginable, coal is unlikely to go away. It is cheap, abundant and often local. So what can be done to make coal
Wallace S. Broecker One of the world's leading climate scientists challenges Greenpeace's opposition to storing CO2in the depth of the oceans. Most of us who are concerned about global warming agree that an important part of any strategy designed to stem the ongoing build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere …
The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the clean coal technologies (CCT) used in power generation worldwide and draw preliminary recommendations regarding the utilization of CCT options which are suitable for application in India. The term Clean Coal Technologies (CCT) is used to mean every option …
Finding ways of safely burying carbon dioxide could be the only way of keeping greenhouse gas emissions below dangerous levels, the International Energy Agency's chief economist said on Thursday. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is seen by industry and some lawmakers as a possible silver bullet in the fight against …
Leading Hong Kong clothing manufacturers are coming together to reduce the environmental impact of their factories in response to growing pressure from international retailers. The group, the Sustainable Fashion Business Consortium, is being launched today, World Earth Day. Many Chinese suppliers are being told to clean up operations from their …
THE idea that coal-fired electricity generation can continue to be the major contributor to global electricity generation and the world can still restrict carbon dioxide emissions to a level constant with holding climate warming below 2 degrees is a fairytale, according to letter in the premier science journal Nature (published …
NOW that the first Rudd-Swan budget is behind us, the real test of the new Labor Government's economic management credentials emerges - climate change. Budgets are annual set-piece events. In contrast, trying to layer an emissions trading scheme on an extraction economy like Australia's, as Woodside's chief executive Don Voelte …
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emanates from the smokestacks of coal-fired power plants and other generators and is a greenhouse gas. Existing CO2 capture techniques involve the use of solid materials that lack sufficient stability for repeated use
Unable to cut down on its coal usage, it seems that the West is looking to burry its co2 emissions underground. The British government, for example, has become zealous about the carbon capture and storage (ccs) technology. Its high commission in Delhi has already organized two workshops on the technology …
Carbon capture and storage, as is evident from its appellation, has three stages. At the first stage, CO2 is separated from other components of emissions like water vapour, nitrous oxide and sulphur oxide. The gas is then transported to the storage site either, via a pipeline, by ship and by …
Market-based incentives for additional greenhouse gas emission reductions for project activities offer new opportunities in developing countries. The revenue from Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects can ensure financial viability of energy conservation and cost reduction measures in many industries. Carbon credits generation activity is growing at 80% in India. Though …
The European Union is set to consider plans to make carbon capture and storage mandatory for new coal fired power stations in an effort to significantly reduce the emissions of the energy sector. With the stick is likely to come a carrot, however, with early adopters possibly picking up bonus …
