Now that the Paris Agreement — a United Nations-backed accord aimed at reducing greenhouse gases … Continue reading China’s green-trading rise puts world on notice
Experts Examine Geothermal Energy as Potential Means to Carbon Neutrality With many considering geothermal energy as Cornell seeks to reach its ambitious goal of carbon neutrality by 2035, several experts weighed in on the feasibility of relying on the energy source at a panel Monday, using Iceland as an example. Geothermal energy utilizes heat stored … Continue reading Experts Examine Geothermal Energy as Potential Means to Carbon Neutrality
US EIA: Natural Gas CO2 Emissions are Exceeding Coal Emissions For the first time since 1972, energy-associated carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from coal are dropping below natural gas CO2 emissions. The US Energy Information Agency’s latest Short-Term Energy Outlook reports that energy-related CO2 emissions from natural gas are expected to be 10 percent higher than … Continue reading US EIA: Natural Gas CO2 Emissions are Exceeding Coal Emissions
EIA: Energy-related CO2 emissions from natural gas will surpass coal in 2016 Natural gas is less carbon-intensive than coal, but as environmental advocates have been pointing out for years, the fuel still has significant emissions related to its use. And now, for the first time in about 45 years, those emissions from gas are set … Continue reading EIA: Energy-related CO2 emissions from natural gas will surpass coal in 2016
Energy Department Suspends Funding for Texas Carbon Capture Project, Igniting Debate Energy Secretary Moniz pulls funds for the project from the FY2017 budget, as the DOE’s inspector general says the agency has been taking too much risk. The Obama administration has suspended funding for a large, troubled carbon capture and storage project, a decision being … Continue reading Energy Department Suspends Funding for Texas Carbon Capture Project, Igniting Debate
Durham’s NET Power breaks ground on zero-emissions plant NET Power broke ground last month on an experimental power plant near Houston, Texas, and expects to start generating electricity there in March 2017. Some are predicting that if NET Power’s experiment works and produces power without polluting, scores of these futuristic energy projects would sprout in … Continue reading Durham’s NET Power breaks ground on zero-emissions plant
GE wants to use CO2 pollution to make huge solar batteries Carbon captured by coal plants would drive turbines that deliver power at night. Two big problems have been vexing environmental scientists for decades: How to store solar energy for later use, and what to do with CO2 that’s been captured and sequestered from coal … Continue reading GE wants to use CO2 pollution to make huge solar batteries
Lower CO2 Emissions Could Save the US Billions CLIMATE CHANGE IS about money. The expenses associated with adapting to, saving people from, and mitigating the effects of climate change drove much of the discussion during last year’s big Paris negotiations. And those costs are arguably at the root of climate denial—or at least provide excuse … Continue reading Lower CO2 Emissions Could Save the US Billions
Tax Credit Extensions Impact Renewables Deployment & Electricity CO2 Emissions The Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) today released new analysis exploring the potential impact of recently extended federal tax credits on the deployment of renewable generation technologies and related U.S. electric sector carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. NREL-logoThe report, Impacts of Federal Tax Credit … Continue reading Tax Credit Extensions Impact Renewables Deployment & Electricity CO2 Emissions
US may toughen oil, gas rules after CO2 rule delay Washington, 11 February (Argus) — The US Supreme Court’s decision this week to delay implementation of the Clean Power Plan could add pressure on President Barack Obama to finish tough new rules affecting the oil and gas sector. Finalizing stringent oil and gas rules could … Continue reading US may toughen oil, gas rules after CO2 rule delay
