2016-02-26 14:09:10| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A federal judge turned up the heat on Volkswagen AG on Thursday, setting a March deadline for the German automaker to state whether it has found an emissions fix for 600,000 diesel vehicles that is acceptable to U.S. regulators. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco said he wants a definitive answer on the status of a fix by March 24. Noting that VW had admitted in September that its vehicles on U.S. roads were using software to emit up to 40 times legally allowable pollution,...

Pig manure could help grow feed for piggeries, cut greenhouse gas emissions, research shows
2016-02-26 09:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Pig effluent could be used to grow algae or seaweed that is fed back to pigs as part of a closed-loop system for intensive piggeries. Key points: Researchers prove pig poo can be used to help grow algae Algae can be fed back to pigs or help to produce methane to generate electricity Pig manure can also help reduce use of costly fertiliser Researchers at Murdoch University's Algae Research and Development Centre have proven they can grow some aquatic species on untreated pig waste, despite...
Emissions Trading Scheme: What you need to know
2016-02-26 08:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Radio New Zealand: The Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is New Zealand's main tool to help the country reduce greenhouse gas emissions and move to a low-carbon economy, and it is up for review. But it is a complex beast, and the way it is currently set out will have little impact on reducing emissions according to the government, which is why it needs to change. What exactly is the ETS? The ETS limits greenhouse gas emissions, by requiring that tonnes of carbon emitted by certain sectors of the economy such...

Optimizing biofuel production from algae using carbon dioxide emissions
2016-02-26 03:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The combustion of fossil fuels drives the world's energy production, but it also emits carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases. In recent years, researchers have worked to cultivate alternative, renewable energy sources, including using algae-based systems. Now, a team reports in ACS' journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research an optimized way of producing biofuel from algae that also removes CO2 emissions from the environment. Algae-based biorefineries only need nutrients, water,...
