Japan Plans Biggest Test of Carbon Capture North of Quake Site
2016-02-28 20:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Japan is preparing to test its biggest project yet for capturing and storing greenhouse gas pollution under the seabed despite concerns about cost and the safety of pursuing the technology in a region prone to earthquakes. Engineers plan to inject carbon dioxide into deep saline aquifers off the coast of Hokkaido at the northern tip of the nation starting in April. The gas will be siphoned away from a refinery operated by Idemitsu Kosan Co. under the government-backed project. Five years after...
Rainforest regrowth boosts carbon capture
2016-02-05 00:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Newly grown rainforests can absorb 11 times as much carbon from the atmosphere as old-growth forests, a study has shown. The researchers have produced a map showing regions in Latin America where regrowing rainforests would deliver the greatest benefits. However, they added that old-growth forests still needed to be protected as they locked away vast amount of carbon. Details of the study have been published in the journal Nature. The international team of scientists compiled data from...

United Kingdom: Spending watchdog to examine scrapping 1bn carbon capture plan
2016-01-31 16:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The National Audit Office is to investigate George Osbornes decision to scrap a 1bn prototype carbon capture scheme which cost the taxpayer at least 60m, a letter seen by the Guardian shows. The spending watchdog said it would be looking into the expenses incurred in running, and then prematurely halting, a CCS auction. It will also examine how the Department of Energy and Climate Change (Decc) plans to secure the countrys future energy needs. In the coming weeks we will begin work looking...
