Carbon Capture Vital for EU as Fossil Fuels to Stay, Draft Shows
2013-03-13 08:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: The European Union will seek to promote the deployment of technology to capture carbon dioxide to attain its climate goals as fossil fuels are to remain a part of the blocs energy mix, according to a draft EU document. The price of carbon is too low to stimulate investment in carbon capture and storage, or CCS, and existing policy tools have so far failed to encourage the development of large-scale demonstration projects, according to the draft prepared by the European Commission, the EUs regulatory...

Clean Power Collateral Damage: Of Birds, Tortoises And The Transition From Fossil Fuels
2013-03-11 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: Is kickstarting a clean-energy industry and accelerating a movement away from fossil fuels worth the expense of, say, a few desert tortoises or a collection of piping plovers? If so, how many of these threatened species would you be willing to sacrifice to build a commercial wind farm, or a utility-scale solar array? It's a stark and oversimplified way to frame things, of course, but the exercise helps to highlight the reality that renewable energy has environmental impacts, too. It's a point...

New material using doped carbon allows fuels to be produced while reducing CO2 emissions
2013-03-08 01:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: After more than 10 years' work, scientists at the University of Granada have a developed a carbon gel that enables carbon dioxide to be turned into hydrocarbons by electro-catalytic transformation. Researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) have developed a new material using doped carbon that allows low-cost energy to be produced and also reduces the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere. The recently-patented material is a gel that enables the CO2 to be turned back into hydrocarbons...
