Peatlands juggle with carbon dioxide and methane, global warming wins. The contribution of peatlands to fluctuation in atmospheric content of carbon and methane has long been a matter of debate. How seriously should they be taken in the context of global warming? Several studies dug into the history of peatland …
CCS is often viewed to be a bridging technology into a future in which renewable energy sources prevail and energy is used as efficiently as possible. Before this future can be reached, emissions from coal-fired power plants and other fossil fuel sources have to be reduced to the greatest extent …
This pubication says that market drivers for climate change investments remain robust driven by mandates and innovation policy. The 2010 Outlook is bullish for public markets, private equity / venture capital and infrastructure investments. At a macro level, climate change investment involves a unique blend of technology innovation, environmental protection, …
WITH India committing to reduce its carbon emissions by 20-25% by 2020, the government is considering participating in a carbon capture and storage initiative in Australia. A Cabinet note to this effect, initiated by the power ministry, is being circulated among relevant ministries. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a …
Henry Fountain To sequester carbon dioxide as part of any climate-change mitigation strategy, the gas first has to be captured from the flue at a power plant or other source. The next step is just as important: the CO has to be released from
No area of business will be affected more quickly or more significantly by the United Nations climate negotiations in Copenhagen than the energy industry. The world needs to be on a path to
The Copenhagen summit on climate change is going to fall short. Does this matter? Yes and no: yes, because the case for action is so strong; no, because the likely agreement would be inadequate. Tackling climate change will be hard. It is crucial that we achieve the goal effectively and …
CO2 emissions from cement production currently represent about 5% of anthropogenic global CO2 emissions. Since 2002, CSI member companies have collectively made significant progress on measuring, reporting and mitigating their CO2 emissions, and sharing their progress with the rest of the cement industry. This technological roadmap is a logical and …
A speedy transition to low or zero carbon energy systems is necessary to reach the ambitious goals for reducing carbon emissions set for 2050. Governing such a transition without recession or upheaval presents a challenge to society which is unprecedented. This report is about governing transitions toward a low-carbon society. …
