ScienceDaily: The future availability of carbon capture and storage (CCS) will be pivotal in reaching ambitious climate targets, according to a new comprehensive study of future energy technologies from IIASA, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Change, the Stanford Energy Modeling Forum, and researchers worldwide. The study, published in a special issue of the journal Climatic Change, provides an overview of the results of EMF27, a major research project combining 18 different global energy-economy models from...

Denver Post: ION Engineering CEO Alfred Brown stands in the pilot machine his company has created to separate carbon dioxide from industrial emissions. (Erin Hull, The Denver Post)Related StoriesNov 24:Buildup of CO2 in atmosphere tied to use of fossil fuels Coal has been tagged the bad boy of fossil fuels -- releasing a host of pollutants -- and the utility industry has worked to clean up its act. Scrubbers have been added to remove acid-rain-causing sulfur dioxide, burners to cut ozone-forming nitrogen oxides...

Carbon Capture and Storage Projects Are Lagging Worldwide, Study Finds
2013-10-10 18:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Major projects aiming at capturing and burying carbon dioxide underground have slowed worldwide, according to a study by the Global CCS Institute in Australia. Despite the common view among experts that carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies could play a crucial role in slowing the atmospheric buildup of greenhouse gases, the number of major CCS projects fell from 75 to 65 over the past year. Although the U.S. currently leads the world in CCS projects, most of them involve pumping carbon into...

Study Finds Setbacks in Carbon Capture Projects
2013-10-10 11:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: The number of large-scale projects to capture and bury carbon dioxide has fallen to 65 from 75 over the past year, a worldwide survey has found, despite a consensus among scientists and engineers that the so-called carbon capture and sequestration, known as C.C.S., will be essential to meet international goals for slowing the buildup of climate-changing gases. The survey was released Thursday in Seoul, South Korea, by the Global CCS Institute, which is based in Canberra, Australia. Since the previous...

EPA wont require carbon capture at existing coal plants
2013-09-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Existing coal-fired power plants wont be required to install equipment to capture and store the carbon dioxide they emit under new Environmental Protection Agency rules, the regulators top EPA official said. Gina McCarthy, the agencys administrator, told a Christian Science Monitor breakfast in Washington today that EPA will issue guidelines for states that allow the use of energy efficiency, clean-energy installations or demand cuts to reduce their greenhouse-gas emissions. The EPA issued...
