UK Sees Biggest Drop in Emissions Since 1990
2015-04-11 15:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The UK's greenhouse gas emissions plunged by 8.4 percent last year, as household energy consumption slumped, the use of coal for electricity generation fell, and policies on climate change took effect, according to recently released government statistics. The biggest fall in emissions since 1990 saw CO2 output drop by almost a tenth while energy from renewable sources rose to a record high of almost 20 percent of electricity, government figures show. Carbon dioxide output fell by almost a tenth,...

Water Jet Pump Units minimize emissions.
2015-04-10 14:31:07| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Available on convertible high-pressure pump units, UltraGreen™ Packages feature environmentally friendly Tier 4F engines that comply with EPA emissions regulations, which limit NOx emissions to 10% of the level allowable 20 years ago, and particulate matter to 5% of old level. Systems are trailer-mounted for towing to job sites, and offer fast conversion to variety of operating pressures, often up to 40,000 psi.
Japan targets about 20 percent emissions cuts by 2030: media
2015-04-09 04:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Japan is considering reducing emissions of greenhouse gases by around 20 percent by 2030 as its contribution to a global summit on climate change in Paris later in the year, Japanese media reported on Thursday. The target is lower than that outlined by the United States, which says it will cut emissions by as much as 28 percent from 2005 levels by 2025 and the European Union which is proposing at least a 40 percent cut from 1990 levels by 2030. Japan is the world's fifth-biggest emitter of...

Scientists confirm that the Arctic could become a major source of carbon emissions
2015-04-09 01:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: As the frozen Arctic soil known as "permafrost" thaws, it could release large amounts of carbon in the form of both carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere. And this new source of greenhouse gas emissions could be large enough that it could substantially undermine attempts to cut down on emissions from fossil fuels. Now, an overview of what we know about the permafrost carbon problem has just come out in Nature, written by a group of 17 experts on the matter. In other words, this...
Nationwide Vehicle Emissions Database Could Help Cities Curb CO2

Yale Environment 360: Researchers at Boston University have created a nationwide database for determining how much carbon dioxide is produced by vehicle travel in U.S. cities and suburbs an essential part of greenhouse gas reduction efforts, they say. Encompassing 33 years of data, the system provides kilometer-by-kilometer views of vehicle emission trends from roads across the country. Those emissions account for 28 percent of all fossil fuel CO2 emissions in the U.S., the researchers note. The data highlight the ongoing...
