Carbon dioxide capture: an assessment of plausible ranges
The projections of energy related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) serve as point of departure for an assessment of plausible ranges of CO2 emissions that could be avoided through CO2 capture and storage measures. Scenario and time dependent, sector and fuel specific capture factors are ...

G7 Climate Vision requires Gargantuan Economic Shift
When leaders of the Group of Seven wealthy countries pledge to "decarbonize" the global economy, they're talking about a shift so dramatic that one analyst described it as a new Apollo mission. Like putting a man on the moon, it would require overcoming major hurdles related to technology and money and the political will - so far in short supply - to make it happen. Despite gains by renewable ...

Desulfurization and reduction of siloxanes in biogas
Reducing the carbon footprint of our society is essential. This can be achieved by capturing and confining anthropogenic CO2 emissions, as well as by replacing fossil fuels with renewable fuels. MCFCs (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells) are the only ones capable of doing both. Thanks to their principle of operation, CO2 can be extracted from a gas stream on the cathode side and fuels such as biogas ...

Desulfurization and reduction of siloxanes in biogas - Case Study
Case Study: MCFC Project at Cetagua (Mataró - Spain) Reducing the carbon footprint of our society is essential. This can be achieved by capturing and confining anthropogenic CO2 emissions, as well as by replacing fossil fuels with renewable fuels. MCFCs (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells) are the only ones capable of doing both. Thanks to their principle of operation, CO2 can be extracted from ...

Green capitalism: negative carbon and the green power fund
This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities created for the world by the Kyoto protocol and the creation based on international law of a global market for carbon emissions trading, in particular, the significance of the clean development mechanism (CDM). The projects funded by CDM and paid for from the carbon market's funds have already achieved a real impact, they have decreased carbon ...

EPA`s proposed underground injection control regulations
As the drivers for global climate change become better understood by scientists, politicians, industry, and the public, there is growing consensus that action should be taken to limit atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs). Even as wind, solar, nuclear, biofuels, and other alternative energy sources become increasingly important, the United States will ...

Biogas desulfurization and siloxanes abatement - Case Study
MCFC project by CETAGUA (Mataró – Spain) Reducing the carbon footprint of our society is imperative. This can be achieved by capturing and confining anthropogenic CO2 emissions as well as by replacing fossil-based fuels with renewable or waste-derived fuels. MCFCs (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells) are unique in being able to do both these things. Thanks to their operating principle, ...

Liability and financial responsibility frameworks for carbon capture and sequestration
Carbon dioxide capture and sequestration (CCS) is an important option for reducing CO2 emissions from human activities. There is growing interest in CCS as renewable energy and energy efficiency alone are unlikely to deliver the emission reductions necessary to stabilize atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases by mid-century.1 CCS involves capturing CO2 generated from fossil fuel ...

Carbon dioxide capture and storage scenarios: a case study of the East Midlands and Yorkshire (UK)
This paper uses quantitative electricity supply scenarios to explore the potential for CO2 storage at locations in the Southern North Sea basin from point sources within a case study region that consists of the East Midlands combined with Yorkshire and Humberside in the UK. The reactions to these scenarios from a variety of stakeholders from the public and private sectors are explored using an ...

A method for estimating the cost to sequester carbon dioxide by delivering iron to the ocean
The need to find economical methods of CO2 sequestration is now urgent. Ocean iron fertilisation has been suggested as a low cost mitigation option to capture and store carbon. However, previous methods of estimating the cost fail to account for many of the losses and offsets occurring over the storage period. A method for calculating the net carbon stored from iron fertilisation of high nutrient ...

President Obama’s Climate Action Plan: Can it Shift the World Away from Coal?
While reactions to President Obama’s newly announced climate plan have focused on domestic action, the plan actually has potentially significant repercussions for the rest of the world. These repercussions will come in part through his commitment to limit U.S. investments in new coal-fired power plants overseas. If fully implemented, the plan will help ensure that the U.S. government ...

Air pollution impacts from carbon capture and storage (CCS)
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) consists of the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from power plants and/or CO2-intensive industries such as refineries, cement, iron and steel, its subsequent transport to a storage site, and finally its injection into a suitable underground geological formation for the purposes of permanent storage. It is considered to be one of the medium term 'bridging ...

Greenhouse gas emissions of fossil fuel-fired power plants: current status and reduction potentials, case study of Iran and Canada
In this paper, methodology to estimate GHG emissions from electricity generation sector using Iran as an example was first explained. Then different scenarios to reduce GHG emissions were evaluated for two countries: Canada and Iran. The results demonstrated that there were great potentials for GHG emission reduction in both countries. These potentials were evaluated by introducing eight ...

Addressing carbon pollution from power plants is vital for avoiding catastrophic climate change
Future U.S. power suppliers will need to limit their carbon pollution, thanks to new standards announced today by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The proposed emissions standards for new power plants are an important measure in implementing the President’s Climate Action Plan (announced in June) to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate global warming. ...

King Coal’s Climate Challenge
Coal is emerging as a major topic of conversation at the United Nations climate-change negotiations currently taking place in Warsaw – and rightly so. Indeed, it is a discussion that the world needs to have. The latest findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change conclude that we are quickly using up our carbon “budget” – the amount of carbon that we can ...
