Yale Environment 360: The U.S. State Department's final environmental review of the Keystone XL Pipeline may have underestimated carbon dioxide emissions associated with the pipeline by as much as four times, according to a new study published in Nature Climate Change. The addition of Keystone XL crude oil to the market will drive global oil prices down, the authors say, which in turn will increase demand for oil worldwide by as much as 0.6 barrels for every barrel of Keystone XL oil added to the market. The extra oil...

Keystone XL pipeline may create more pollution than previously calculated

Agence France-Presse: A proposed pipeline from Canada to the United States may result in much higher greenhouse gas emissions than previously calculated as it could fuel greater oil consumption through higher production and lower prices, a study said Sunday. Researchers from the Stockholm Environment Institute used a mathematical model to estimate the Keystone XL pipelines potential for atmospheric pollution. Unlike calculations by the US State Department, they took into account a possible consumption rise in line...

Keystone XL pipeline could have bigger impact than expected, new study says

Montreal Gazette: The proposed Keystone XL pipeline to connect Canadian oilsands with U.S. refineries and ports could have a much larger impact on greenhouse gas emissions than previously assumed, according to a new study. If the controversial pipeline gets the go-ahead it might lower global oil prices, increase consumption and quadruple the total greenhouse gas impact of the project, says an analysis published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change. It also points to gaps in existing environmental and...

If Keystone gets nixed, Canadian pipeline operators have Plan B
2014-06-14 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Toronto Star: It might be that the U.S. environmentalists long campaign against the proposed Keystone XL pipeline is about to backfire. Canadian pipeline operators are poised to implement an all-Canadian Plan B network of pipelines in place of the ill-fated Keystone XL that was to run the length of the U.S. heartland to the Texas Gulf Coast. With the hearty good wishes of an Alberta heavy-oil industry desperate to see a return on its multibillion-dollar investment, Calgary-based pipeline operators already...

Keystone, Northern Gateway pipeline pressure mounts oil bottleneck costs economy $50-million a day

Bloomberg: Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harpers government, which has failed to persuade President Barack Obama to approve TransCanada Corp.s Keystone XL, is turning up the heat on the U.S. administration. Finance Minister Joe Oliver, Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford and Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird traveled to New York this week, arguing in media interviews and at an energy conference that Obama has unfairly entangled the $5.4 billion pipeline with U.S. politics. According to Oliver,...
