A peak in global energy-related emissions could be achieved as early as 2020 and at no net economic cost says International Energy Agency in this new report . The world is moving towards a crucial climate change meeting in Paris in December 2015 (COP21). The negotiations there will be based …
Despite a few recent success stories, clean-energy progress is falling well short of the levels needed to limit the global increase in temperatures to no more than 2 degrees Celsius, according to an International Energy Agency (IEA) tracking report presented at the Clean Energy Ministerial meeting in Mexico. The report, …
This study conducted a comparative assessment of 48 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction scenarios for 2030 reported in seven studies published since 2011 based on bottom-up energy system analyses. This study conducted two sets of analyses. First, the scenarios were categorized into four mitigation effort levels and assessed the value …
Brevik, a small coastal town two hours west of Oslo, has found itself on the front line of a global battle over a technology that is hailed in some quarters as the solution to climate change, but denigrated in others as a reckless and potentially fatal gamble. Environmentalists are mobilising …
The UK Government has developed in-depth 'low-carbon roadmaps' for eight of the most polluting industries in the UK. The reports, devised by the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), point out the sector-specific measures that can reduce emissions and energy-use …
In Norway capturing and burying carbon emissions has brought down one prime minister, been likened to a national ‘moon landing’ by another and left the country’s highest-emitting gas plant as a monument At least 10 European power plants were supposed to begin piping their carbon emissions into underground tombs this …
A new study which claims the biomass industry is avoiding up to €1bn in carbon taxes due a "loophole" in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) has been branded "intentionally misleading" by the renewable energy sector. The study, released today (17 March) by Transport and Environment (T&E;), argues that burning …
In its final report of this Parliament, the Energy and Climate Change Committee (ECCC) says the next Government must turn its focus to nuclear power and carbon capture and storage (CCS) and provide better support for the research and development of low-carbon technologies. The interactive report, titled 'Fueling the debate', …
China’s power sector is its largest source of greenhouse gas emissions and also its biggest industrial water user. This issue brief includes a Water–Climate Impacts Bubble Chart to help decision-makers better understand the trade-offs between water use, climate impacts, and capital investment in the power sector.
Sustainable biomass can play a transformative role in the transition to a decarbonized economy, with potential applications in electricity, heat, chemicals and transportation fuels. Deploying bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) results in a net reduction in atmospheric carbon. BECCS may be one of the few cost-effective carbon-negative opportunities …
This paper outlines a draft recommended methodology for quantifying and reporting the potential emissions from the fossil fuel reserves held by coal, oil and gas companies. It concentrates only on the carbon stored in reserves and attempts to account for the primary routes in which this carbon is released into …
The Minister for Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Mr. Prakash Javadekar said that Government’s initiatives, efforts, and action plans to pursue the clean and renewable energy path had put India in a leadership position in dealing with climate change issues. India’s Solar Energy programme which aims to generate 1 lakh …
Basic chemistry is generating questions about the effectiveness of storing carbon dioxide underground. The practice involves pumping the greenhouse gas into underground salt caverns, where it’s supposed to solidify. According to researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, much of the carbon dioxide will remain in its gaseous state, and …
The Environmental Protection Agency said it will delay carbon rules for power plants, missing a deadline set by President Barack Obama in one of the centerpieces of his climate-change agenda. Janet McCabe, the EPA’s top official for air pollution, said the agency will miss this week’s legal deadline to issue …
Could asphalt actually provide a new technique for "green" carbon capture? Scientists have found that the best material to keep carbon dioxide from natural gas wells from fouling the atmosphere may be a derivative of asphalt. Like Us on Facebook The basic compound known as asphalt-porous carbon (A-PC) captures carbon …
A fossil fuel-free Scotland is not only technically achievable but could prove a cheaper and safer option than pursuing fossil fuel-based development, according to a new WWF-backed report. The study by consultancy giant DNV-GL tested the viability of the Scottish government’s current policy goal of decarbonising the country’s electricity generation …
Scotland’s electricity system could be powered almost entirely by renewables by 2030 and without the need for any gas, coal or nuclear power stations in Scotland, according to a new report published by WWF Scotland. Based on independent technical analysis by leading engineering and energy consultancy DNV GL, ‘Pathways to …
Energy is among the top strategic issues shaping the global agenda in 2015. The uncertainty and impact of energy and commodity price volatility has now established itself as the number-one issue for energy leaders worldwide. Emerging risks and the resulting need to redefine energy infrastructure resilience, changing market designs, evolving …
(Reuters) - Fiscal incentives for carbon capture should be part of the global climate change agreement that replaces the Kyoto Protocol, 56 countries belonging to the U.N. Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) said in a statement on Tuesday. The recommendation by the UNECE member states puts the issue formally on …
IEA analyses have consistently highlighted that low-carbon energy technologies have a crucial role to play in addressing current global challenges on energy security, sustainability and access. Recent years have seen a considerable increase in the number and range of multilateral initiatives seeking to foster the deployment of low-carbon energy technologies, …
