Iran plans carbon emissions trading market, official says
2014-02-17 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Iran plans to set up a carbon trading market to reduce industrial emissions of climate-warming gas, an official from Iran's Fuel Conservation Organization (IFCO) told oil ministry news service Shana. Iran has some of the world's largest gas reserves and is major crude oil exporter. But rapidly rising domestic demand has created a gas supply and vehicle pollution crisis in some cities. Although Iran has some large hydro-power plants, heavy subsidisation of fossil fuels means there is little incentive...

Carbon sequestration: Managing forest in uncertain times
2014-02-15 15:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature: The best way to manage forests to store carbon and to mitigate climate change is hotly debated. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and wood can be a substitute for fossil fuels and carbon-intensive materials such as concrete and steel. In the past few decades, the world's forests have absorbed as much as 30% (2 petagrams of carbon per year; Pg C year-1) of annual global anthropogenic CO2 emissions1 -- about the same amount as the oceans. Two-thirds of forests are managed. Much has...
