Legacy energy infrastructure: The hidden threat to our climate
It’s easy to identify the biggest climate threats: coal and oil-fired power stations pouring emissions into the atmosphere, heavy industry smoking up the sky, and the seemingly endless traffic jams of petrol and diesel polluting vehicles. But another enemy is standing in the way of a greener future; one rarely mentioned because it’s effectively invisible: our legacy energy ...

The Stats on Fracking: The Real Numbers of Hydraulic Fracturing
Hydraulic fracturing, sometimes referred to as “fracking,” is among the largest and most influential trends in the global energy sector today. By injecting highly pressurized fluid into underground formations containing oil and natural gas, hydraulic fracturing makes it possible to exploit fossil fuel reserves that were previously too expensive or too difficult to reach with more ...

EU could cut emissions by 40 percent at moderate cost
The costs of achieving a more ambitious EU climate target are estimated to be moderate. Upscaling greenhouse-gas emissions reduction from the current 20 percent by 2020 to 40 percent by 2030 would be likely to cost less than an additional 0.7 percent of economic activity. This is a key finding from an international multi-model analysis by the Stanford Energy Modeling Forum (EMF28) and comes at a ...

Power Sector Opportunities For Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions: Minnesota
President Obama announced the first-ever National Climate Plan for the United States in June 2013. Under the plan, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will set carbon pollution standards for power plants. In September 2013, EPA introduced emissions standards for new power plants and is expected to announce standards for existing plants in 2014. Once EPA establishes those standards, ...

4 Ways North Carolina can reduce its power sector emissions
Like all U.S. states, North Carolina will need to reduce its power sector CO2 emissions in order to alleviate the impacts of climate change and comply with future EPA standards. New WRI analysis shows that the state is already in a strong position to meet—and potentially even exceed—these forthcoming power plant emissions standards. Our analysis shows that North Carolina can reduce ...

Power plants coordination for economic and environmental load dispatch of thermal power plants with wind generation systems
Economic load dispatch (ELD) and economic emission dispatch (EED) have been applied to obtain generation scheduling of thermal power plants at optimum fuel cost and emissions. Due to limited availability of quality coal, issue of environmental emissions and high prices of coal, installation of renewable energy systems are suggested in power grid. Renewable energy system preferably wind generators ...

Modelling and simulation of reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide absorption into aqueous ammonia in a wetted wall column
Carbon dioxide accounts for about 80% of all greenhouse gases (GHG) and thus becomes the major source responsible for global warming which is considered as the greatest environmental challenge the world is facing. The post–combustion capture is the main way to lower the emission of existing power plants and future power plants where CO2 is produced during the combustion. Solvent–based ...
