Contrasting lessons from Germany's 20-year pursuit of solar and wind power shows how other countries might create industrial champions to develop new energy technologies. A long-term, global energy recipe for climate change and security may be emerging, as countries plan broadly to shift to gas from coal, to electricity and …
This working paper discusses criteria relevant to differentiating between the technical, cost-effective and realistic potential for CCS retrofit. The paper then discusses today’s coal-fired power plant fleet from a statistical perspective, by looking at age, size and the expected performance of today’s plant across several countries. The working paper also …
This report provides a concise overview of the key goals and priorities of eighteen of the most promising and innovative large-scale post carbon economy transition plans and strategies, from both government and non-government sources. The report is the first stage in an ongoing Post Carbon Pathways project, which aims to …
The British government on Friday called for proposals to build at least one carbon-capture and storage (CCS) power plant in the European Union's official journal, one step short of launching its official tender which has been long anticipated. The notice document showed the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) …
The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Accounting Framework for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Projects—CCS Accounting Framework—provides methods to calculate emissions reductions associated with capturing, transporting, and safely and permanently storing carbon dioxide (CO2) in geologic formations. It also includes options for defining baselines, delineating project assessment boundaries, and monitoring project performance.
This project, which is the first of three within the partnership programme between the business leaders’ initiative 3C (Combat Climate Change) and the Stockholm Environment Institute, has researched the development and deployment of two technologies that could play key roles in supplying electricity for a low carbon society: solar photovoltaics …
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is vital to reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, potentially providing 20% of the needed reductions in global emissions. Research and demonstration projects are important to increase scientific understanding of CCS, and making processes and results widely available helps to reduce public concerns, which may …
The EU’s climate change goals are closely linked to plans for catalyzing economic growth through new, green initiatives. Investing in the green technologies that cut emissions will also create jobs and boost the economy. Renewable energy, energy efficiency including eco-efficient industries and products, water management, re-use of resources and recycling …
Successful deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) is critically dependent on comprehensive policy support. While policy plays an important role in the deployment of many low-carbon technologies, it is especially crucial for CCS. This is because, in contrast to renewable energy or applications of energy efficiency, CCS generates no …
European politicians are expected on Tuesday to vote through an amendment that could pave the way for direct intervention in the EU carbon market, which has sunk to record lows. Businesses and environmentalists have heaped pressure on the European Commission to bolster the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. It should be …
A shift to renewable energy would ultimately cost around the same as business as usual and the EU needs to make progress on setting a 2030 target for greener fuel soon, the bloc's energy commissioner said. Guenther Oettinger was laying out the European Union's latest road map for mostly eliminating …
Opportunities like innovation for reduction of T&D; losses, financial innovation and technologies for carbon capture are areas within the ambit of clean tech that entrepreneurs must focus on, clean tech experts said at the TiE Entrepreneurial Summit today. With a lot of players coming into other renewables such as solar …
Britain is on track to beat its 2020 emissions-cutting target and could see energy use per person halved by 2050 if it optimizes its energy mix and use of technology, according to a "Carbon Plan" which the government announced on Thursday. Chris Huhne, the UK's minister for energy and climate …
The European Commission has unveiled its Energy Roadmap 2050, which aims to cut emissions by over 80% by 2050 without disrupting energy supplies and competitiveness. Based on an analysis of scenarios created by combining the four main decarbonisation routes in different ways (energy efficiency, renewables, nuclear, and carbon capture and …
The top U.S. environmental regulator will propose early next year twice-delayed rules on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, she told the energyNOW television show. "I can't tell you what the regulations say right now, but what we are planning to do is release them early next calendar year," Lisa …

San Francisco: From the cotton field in rural India to the local rag bin, a typical pair of blue jeans consumes 919 gallons of water during its life cycle, Levi Strauss & Company says, or enough to fill about 15 spa-size bathtubs. That includes the water that goes into irrigating …
In this new report IEA provides an overview of clean energy and energy efficiency technology deployment and summarises support policies in place across G-20 countries. G-20 Clean Energy, and Energy Efficiency Deployment and Policy Progress, a report prepared by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in collaboration with the G-20 Clean …
Read this indepth review by Stockholm Environment Institute of new developments in climate economics and science since the Stern Review (2006) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fourth Assessment Report (2007). Economic analysis has become increasingly central to the climate policy debate, but the models and assumptions of climate …
This roadmap attempts to lay out the future of the forest fibre industry and its potential to meet future consumer demands, stay competitive and deliver a CO2 emission reduction. This initiative addresses the European Commission roadmap, which modeled an overall industrial reduction of 80% in CO2 by 2050. The CEPI …
