This new publication presents the low carbon development path for Asia and the Pacific. It shows that this region must overcome several challenges to secure the growing energy requirements needed to maintain strong development trend while at the same time pursue a low carbon development path. This publication presents the …
This is a review paper intended to provide an overview of debates relating to BECCS or bio-CCS, which are alternative terms for the coupling of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (CCS). The principal rationale for BECCS is that whereas the current atmospheric concentration of CO2 is more than 380ppmv …
This report aims to provide a technological, economic and policy underpinning for the development of a global technology roadmap for CCS in industry. The roadmap will build on the IEA roadmap on CCS that has already outlined a set of actions and milestones for CCS in the power sector and …
This publication, the IEA Carbon Capture and Storage Model Regulatory Framework (Model Framework), seeks to deal with the reality that such rapid expansion and scale-up of CCS technology raises a number of regulatory issues that need to be addressed in parallel with ongoing efforts to demonstrate the technical, safety and …
Many countries are facing serious challenges as a result of the lingering global economic crisis. At the same time, all nations share a responsibility to ensure their energy sectors become more sustainable and more secure to manage the risks and impacts of climate change. Over the coming decades, energy efficiency, …
The International Energy Agency (IEA) considers carbon capture and storage (CCS) a crucial part of worldwide efforts to limit global warming by reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. The IEA has estimated that the broad deployment of low-carbon energy technologies could reduce projected 2050 emissions to half 2005 levels
Coal is the biggest single source of energy for electricity production and its share is growing. The efficiency of converting coal into electricity matters: more efficient power plants use less fuel and emit less climate-damaging carbon dioxide. This report explores how efficiency is measured and reported at coal-fired power plants. …
This paper presents methodologies for using social cost of carbon estimates to address the value of temporarily stored carbon and the implications of that value in the context of biological offsets and life-cycle analyses of the GHG content of biofuels. The paper is designed to advance the dialogue in these …
Innovative carbon-trapping technology might barely get past the testing phase in Europe after the economic crisis and a shift to green power destroys incentives, a new study warns. Massive European investment in renewable energy will reduce demand for carbon emissions permits in 2020, dragging down their price and undermining investment …
Jyoti Mukul & Sudheer Pal Singh / September 06, 2010, 0:16 IST Nobuo TanakaPromoting energy-efficient technologies to reach the Blue Map scenario of 50 per cent reduction from 2005 energy-related emission levels by 2050 is the aim of the Paris-based International Energy Agency, a non-government organisation advising 28 member-countries. Its …
This new publication examines complex connections between the global forest products industry and the global carbon cycle, with the objective of characterizing the carbon footprint of the sector. The analysis finds that the industry’s main sources of emissions are manufacturing and disposal of used products in landfills. See Also Report: …
This study aims to contribute to a better understanding of the critical linkages between water and energy and the impact on both of climate change. It identifies areas of opportunity where investment and new regulations are needed, to ensure sustainable global development. Human civilization has always rested on access to …
Geoengineering has been proposed as a feasible way of mitigating anthropogenic climate change, especially increasing global temperatures in the 21st century. The two main geoengineering options are limiting incoming solar radiation, or modifying the carbon cycle. Here we examine the impact of five geoengineering approaches on sea level; SO2 aerosol …
This brief frames how CCS might be regulated within the Chinese environmental policy context, with an emphasis on ensuring protection of people and the environment. After summarizing China
IMAP, Inc., an exclusive global merger and acquisition (M&A;) organization, is pleased to announce the availability of its 2010 Alternative Energy Global Report. The report details M&A; activity in the alternative energy industry by country and region for the last 12 months, growth projections for the remainder of 2010 and …
On February 3, 2010, President Obama sent a memorandum to the heads of fourteen Executive Departments and Federal Agencies establishing an Interagency Task Force on Carbon Capture and Storage. The goal was to develop a comprehensive and coordinated Federal strategy to speed the commercial development and deployment of clean coal …
Using satellite data, scientists have produced a first-of-its kind map that details the height of the world's forests. Although there are other local- and regional-scale forest canopy maps, the new map is the first that spans the entire globe based on one uniform method. The map, based on data collected …
