Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Power Plants Fell in 2011
2013-02-05 23:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. power plants fell 4.6 percent in in 2011, according to new government figures. That's a sign that power generation is relying less on coal and more on natural gas and renewable sources, EPA said. The agency released its second annual listing of emissions from the nation's largest industrial polluters Tuesday, compiling emissions data from 8,000 facilities nationwide, including power plants, refineries and factories. (The data is available online, via the agency's...
Greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. power plants down 4.6 percent
2013-02-05 20:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. power plants fell 4.6 percent in 2011 as more generators were switched to cleaner-burning natural gas and renewable sources from coal, according to new data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The agency's second inventory of greenhouse gas emissions reported by the country's largest industrial polluters showed that power plants - which account for one-third of U.S. emissions - released 2.22 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) in 2011....

EPA posted second year of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data on its website, which provides public access to emissions data by sector, GHG, and geographic region. EPA's Gina McCarthy commented that this second data release will let people track and compare facilities' GHG emissions and identify opportunities to cut pollution, minimize wasted energy, and save money. Collected in 2011, data includes information from facilities in 41 source categories and 12 additional source categories. This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of:

Earthworms Increase Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions
2013-02-04 14:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Most earthworms may be tiny, but a new study suggests their impact on the climate could be mighty. Researchers had long assumed the creepy crawlers help store carbon in soils by consuming fallen leaves and other decaying plant matter, which they deposit in soil in their cast, or droppings. But newer studies suggest the worms may actually increase soils' output of two key greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. A new meta-analysis, published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change,...
