- Decarbonized Fossil Energy Carriers and Their Energy Technological Competitors
- This paper focuses on stabilizing atmospheric CO2 in the range 450-550 ppmv which requires deep reductions in CO2 emissions for both electricity generation and markets that use fuels directly. Fossil fuel decarbonization/CO2 storage is an important option for reducing emissions from the power sector, but there are alternative non-carbon-based electricity...

- DECAFF: ECN's In-House R&D Programme on De-Carbonization of Fossil Fuels
- This paper gives an overview of the results of the first phase of ECN's in-house R&D programme on de-carbonization of fossil fuels. The objective of the programme is to develop integrated CO2 capture technologies for electricity and hydrogen production systems resulting in CO2 capture cost of 20- 25 ? per...

- CO2 Emission Abatement From Fossil Fuel Power Plants by Exhaust Gas Treatment
- In this paper thermo dynamical and economic analyses of fossil-fuel-fired power plants, equipped with systems for CO2 recovery, are presented. The investigation has been developed with reference to power plants representative both of consolidated technology (i.e. steam cycle and combined cycle power plants), and of emerging or innovative technology (integrated...

- Satellite data track carbon dioxide in forests. (News Link).
- NASA-funded researchers, using high-resolution maps of carbon storage derived from NASA-developed satellite datasets, suggest that forests in the United States, Europe and Russia have been storing almost 700 million metric tons of carbon per year during the 1980s and 1990s. Scientists hope to...

- Carbon emissions from fossil fuels rise
- Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels rose 29 per cent between 2000 and 2008, an international team of researchers says. The scientists with the Global Carbon Project also found that despite the global economic crisis, carbon emissions increased by two per cent during 2008, to an all-time high of 1.3...

- Week in Oil & Gas: G20 Axes Subsidies, Obama-Hu Climate Rhetoric, and Chevron Sues
- The week ended with a muffled bang as the Group of 20 nations agreed to phase out government subsidies for fossil fuels. Ending fossil fuel subsidies would have an impact -- positive or negative, depending on whose talking.  But the agreement is viewed largely symbolic since G20 leaders did...

- Carbon capture looks promising for China
- BEIJING, Oct. 15 UPI -- China's vast, deep rock layers have the capacity to store the country's carbon dioxide emissions for at least 100 years, U.S. researchers say. A study released Wednesday by the United States Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory says carbon capture and storage CCS would...

- Are you carbon beta rated? Here's a look at the likely winners and losers in the carbon rationing age
- American business executives are increasingly resigned to the fact that carbon controls are coming. Some 17 bills for cap-and-trade schemes to limit greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel energy sources are floating through the halls of Congress. Both Republican and Democratic Party presidential candidates favor limits on greenhouse gas emissions....

- Why the Energy Crisis Won't Solve Itself
- Will Wilkinson is optimistic about energy. Don't worry about peak oil, he says: as oil prices rise, alternative energy sources will become more attractive, and eventually innovation and competition in the alternative-energy space will drive alternative-energy prices down below the "historical trend" of oil prices. That's how we get...
