By Andrea Gains-Germain The EPA’s carbon reduction plan for power plants is getting a lot of press lately. And the mechanical engineer in me makes me think about the actual technology involved. New rules announced this month by the EPA target a 30% reduction in carbon emissions from power plants by 2030 (based on 2005 levels), when the agency estimates that 30% of electricity will come from coal – a downward trend from current levels of 39%. Call it a 30-30-30 picture.

Mongabay: Seven palm oil giants have agreed to fund a study that will define what constitutes "High Carbon Stock" (HCS) forest, a move that will potentially determine the fate of ecosystems around the world as more companies commit to "zero-deforestation" policies based on the amount of carbon stored in vegetation. The companies - IOI Corporation Berhad, Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad, Sime Darby, Asian Agri, Musim Mas Group, Cargill and Wilmar International - are jointly funding the year-long study, which...
