A pan-European carbon dioxide storage site in the North Sea?
2015-06-02 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Norway has a particular vested interest and responsibility to develop CO2 capture and storage (CCS), believes Nils A. Rkke. Without CCS, the world will be unable to achieve the aim of limiting the global temperature increase to two degrees, says SINTEF's Director of Climate Technology Research. Rkke wants the state to adopt a more proactive policy. Among other measures, he would like to see Norway taking the initiative to develop a major pan-European CO2 storage site in the North Sea: "The...

Safe long-term storage large amounts carbon dioxide in saline aquifers?
2015-05-21 19:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The carbon dioxide (CO2) at the Bravo Dome gas field in New Mexico is volcanic in origin, and its emplacement began more than a million years ago, not 10 thousand years ago, as previously estimated. Averaged across the reservoir, only 20% of the CO2 has dissolved into the field's saline brine over 1.2 million years, while the rest remains as a free gas trapped by the cap-rock, suggesting that safe long-term storage in geological sites is viable. This study documents the first field evidence for...

Canada: Study explores capture of clean carbon dioxide from landfill gases
2015-05-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Vancouver Sun: Local greenhouse grower Village Farms is hoping to extract clean carbon dioxide -- as well as heat and electricity -- from the landfill gases it burns. The Delta-based grower has been burning methane gas from Vancouvers landfill to generate heat and electricity for 12 years at the firms Ladner facility under an agreement with the City of Vancouver and BC Hydro, according to the firms development director Jonathan Bos. But because landfill gas is chemically inconsistent and contains contaminants,...

Carbon dioxide levels reach global milestone
2015-05-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
USA Today: Worldwide levels of carbon dioxide - the gas scientists say is most responsible for global warming - reached a significant milestone for the month of March, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Wednesday. The global monthly average for carbon dioxide hit 400.83 parts per million in March, the first time the average surpassed 400 ppm for an entire month since such measurements began in the late 1950s, NOAA said. "It's both disturbing and daunting," said NOAA chief greenhouse...
