This report presents the Committee’s advice on the fifth carbon budget, covering the period 2028-32, as required under Section 34 of the Climate Change Act 2008. The Committee recommends that the fifth carbon budget is set at 1,765 MtCO2e, including emissions from international shipping, over the period 2028-2032. That would …
Britain aims to close its coal-fired power plants by 2025 under plans announced on Wednesday, becoming the first major economy to put a date on shutting coal plants to curb carbon emissions. Instead, the country will look to nuclear and natural gas-fired power plants to complement intermittent renewable energy, Secretary …
The Summary for Policymakers (SPM) identifies good practice policies, initiatives and actions that could be scaled up and replicated by Parties to realize significant mitigation potential in the pre-2020 period. The SPM focuses on the thematic areas and reflects the outcomes of the associated technical expert meetings that occur under …
Global demand for coal is still rising: EU member states have been reluctant to take action against coal projects and continue to subsidize coal related business with almost 10 billion euros per year. King Coal also generates 43 percent of Germany’s total energy. Coal Atlas contains the latest facts and …
A new report has concluded that members of the G20 are providing $452 billion per year on fossil fuel production subsidies. Despite numerous pledges to minimize or cut fossil fuel subsidies entirely, and amid tremendous international and public pressure, member nations of the G20 major economies are doing all they …
The collective action plans of more than 140 major businesses could deliver two thirds of the carbon reductions need to limit global warming to two degrees, according to new analysis from PWC. The consultancy firm has released its assessment of nine action plans that have been created for nine different …
The Global Status of CCS: 2015 Summary Report provides an overview of the key findings contained in the package of Volumes and Reports that comprises The Global Status of CCS: 2015 release, as well as a set of actions that can accelerate the deployment of CCS globally.
This is the year when the fight against climate change could take a dramatic turn. The conference in Paris in December presents political and business leaders with the opportunity to take the critical decisions needed if we are to keep average temperature rises to no more than 1.5 or 2 …
Green groups criticise ‘ludicrous’ Minerals Council of Australia ad which claims coal creates ‘light and jobs’ and ‘can now reduce its emissions by up to 40%’ The campaign, called Little Black Rock, has been launched by the Minerals Council of Australia. An eye-catching TV ad shows an extreme closeup of …
Used coffee beans could be a simple and cheap alternative for methane storage, new scientific research has found. Scientists from the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea found that heating coffee beans to 700-900°C could produce stable levels of carbon capture, capable of absorbing 7% of …
Industry unlikely to pick up without advances in carbon capture technology as governments seek to drive down emissions, banking giant warns. RTCC reports US banking giant Citigroup says the global coal industry is set for further pain, predicting an acceleration of mine closures, liquidations and bankruptcies. The value of listed …
Up to $44 trillion could be going up in smoke if the world does not act on climate change, according to the latest piece of research from U.S. banking giant Citigroup. The report – Energy Darwinism II: Why a Low Carbon Future Doesn't Have to Cost the Earth -- has …
EU bosses are pushing to resolve a clash between industry and environmental policy with a new strategy to phase out funding to export coal technology to developing nations, ahead of a meeting of leading economic powers on the issue. The European Commission, the EU executive, urges tougher rules on when …
This paper examines costs of major low and zero emissions technologies currently available in power generation and compares them in terms of emissions reduction potential and costs. The analysis uses cost and performance data from several recent studies in the United States, and applies a common methodology and economic parameters …
Relief of iron (Fe) limitation in the Southern Ocean during ice ages, with potentially increased carbon storage in the ocean, has been invoked as one driver of glacial–interglacial atmospheric CO2 cycles. Ice and marine sediment records demonstrate that atmospheric dust supply to the oceans increased by up to an order …
Natural CO2 releases from shallow marine hydrothermal vents are assumed to mix into the water column, and not accumulate into stratified seafloor pools. We present newly discovered shallow subsea pools located within the Santorini volcanic caldera of the Southern Aegean Sea, Greece, that accumulate CO2 emissions from geologic reservoirs. This …
Fossil fuel companies should be made to invest as much in carbon storage as they do in exploring for new coal, oil and gas reserves, according to academics from Oxford University. Governments also need to massively tilt the balance to ensure the development of renewable and other “clean” energy technologies …
The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) released a report demonstrating that increases in clean energy investments create more job opportunities. The paper, presented at the Vienna Energy Forum 2015, states that of the world’s 45,000 million metric tons of greenhouse gases (GHG) …
The UK and other EU countries should extend green subsidies, such as the Contracts for Difference scheme, to carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, an influential think-tank has claimed. The Grantham Institute today (16 June) released a policy brief on CCS, which it claims is vital in limiting global warming …
European Union countries need to significantly increase investments in carbon capture and storage and show much greater urgency and determination to develop and deploy the technology, according to a new report by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at London School of Economics and Political Science …
