This paper sets out the arguments for and against such approaches on the basis of equity and effectiveness, that is, will these approaches help achieve a fair and safe deal on climate change? A global deal on climate change is fair if, among other key indicators, it shares the burden …
The latest report on Concentrating Solar Thermal (CST) power, a renewable energy resource which has a significant potential for reducing carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants. Explores the scale, potential and barriers of implementing CST in US, India, China and Middle East & North Africa. This report examines Concentrating …
This report provides: an overview of possible options for differentiation in the CDM between different project types and between host countries; a qualitative assessment of the practical feasibility of a number of selected options, with a focus on possible criteria for differentiation and institutional and governance implications; and an assessment …
The purpose of this study is to contribute to the discussion regarding the integration of biodiversity conservation aspects into the cross-cutting issue of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD). At the forefront of discussions taking place at COP9 of the CBD, it became obvious that …
The carbon market doubled to $126bn, but the value of transactions financing project-based emission reductions fell 12% to $6.5bn in 2008. Difficulties in getting financing for projects during the financial crisis, regulatory delays and the market's uncertain future caused the drop. World Bank is working to deepen the reach of …
The global oceans community is very thankful to the Government of Indonesia for hosting the World Ocean Conference 2009 to put the limelight on the relationship between climate change and oceans, coasts, and small island developing States (SIDS). The political consensus that will be reached by governmental representatives in issuing …
It's simple to mop carbon dioxide out of the air, but it could cost a lot of money. In the second of three features on the carbon challenge, Nicola Jones talks with the scientists pursuing this strategy.
The Canadian government plans new regulations that will effectively phase out traditional coal-fired power stations, Environment Minister Jim Prentice said in an interview published on Wednesday. He told the Globe and Mail newspaper that new coal plants would have to include technology to capture greenhouse gas emissions and inject them …
China must swiftly decouple its rapid economic growth from rising carbon dioxide emissions for global greenhouse gas levels to stay manageable, the authors of a new study said, urging sweeping support to help that transition. The study from Britain's Tyndall Center for Climate Change Research by Tao Wang and Jim …
The United States gathered China, India and the world's other top greenhouse gas polluters in Washington on Monday to "make up for lost time" and lay the groundwork for a UN deal to fight climate change. The meeting, which US President Barack Obama called last month, groups countries that produce …
Britain announced on Thursday plans to force all new coal plants in the country to test a pioneering carbon-cutting technology, as it tries to sharpen efforts to meet steep climate change targets. The move would make Britain the first country to require coal plants to fit carbon capture and storage …
The United States and other rich nations must do more to help clinch a landmark deal on climate change this year, a top U.N. official said at a meeting of global environment ministers. The three-day meeting of the Group of Eight industrial countries and major developing economies, which opened in …
Britain unveiled 1.4 billion pounds ($2.04 billion) of initiatives to encourage investment in green energy on Wednesday and also gave tax breaks to help squeeze the remaining oil from the declining North Sea. Chancellor of the Exchequer (finance minister) Alistair Darling confirmed a 2020 target for Britain to curb greenhouse …
Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd launched a government-funded initiative to coordinate and accelerate carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects worldwide.
Use of algae and methanol for rapid carbon recycling is gaining popularity among power producers. As glaciers and rivers threaten to disappear, Indian coal-based power plants may have to look at algae and methanol for rapid carbon recycling. National Thermal Power Corporation, the largest coal-based power producer in the country, …
In an ambitious proposal to counter global warming, an upstart power developer wants to build a coal-fired electric plant on the outskirts of New York City that would capture its emissions of carbon dioxide and pump the pollutant 70 miles offshore. The gas would be injected into sandstone a mile …
Scientists in Singapore say they have found a way to turn planet-warming carbon dioxide into clean-burning methanol using a process that uses less energy than previous attempts. The scientists at the state-backed Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology said on Thursday they used non-toxic organocatalysts to make ethanol, a biofuel that …
This study sought to identify the initial impact that C&S; might have on the USA, based on a set of limiting assumptions. In particular, it attempts to quantify the immediate impact
Carbon dioxide captured from the chimneys of power stations could be safely buried underground for thousands of years without the risk of the greenhouse gas seeping into the atmosphere, a study has found. The findings will lend weight to the idea of carbon capture and sequestration (CSS)
German ministers have agreed on guidelines for the introduction of technology that prevents the release of carbon dioxide from power stations. The draft legislation sets out a regulatory and technical framework for trial carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, providing utilities with much-needed planning and investment guidelines, while setting environmental …
