International Business Times: In Americas low-carbon future, most cars will run on electricity, carbon dioxide will be stored underground, and homes and buildings will be hyper-efficient, guzzling less energy even as the population grows. This is the vision of a new analysis that maps how the United States can drastically curb its greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The plan, unveiled this week, is part of the United Nations' Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project, which aims to figure out how each country should act to limit...

Yale Environment 360: The United States can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050, using existing or near-commercial technologies, according to researchers with the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project. The study analyzed scenarios with four types of decarbonized electricity: renewable energy, nuclear energy, fossil fuel with carbon capture and storage, and a mixed case. The scenarios achieved reductions of 83 percent below 2005 levels and 80 percent below 1990 levels, according to the study, which was...

In Step Lower Carbon Emissions, China Will Place Limit on Coal Use in 2020

New York Times: China plans to set a cap on coal consumption in 2020, an important step for the country in trying to achieve a recently announced goal of having carbon dioxide emissions peak by around 2030. The State Council, Chinas cabinet, released details of an energy strategy late Wednesday that includes capping coal consumption at 4.2 billion tons in 2020 and having coal be no more than 62 percent of the primary energy mix by that year. Worldwide, coal burning for industrial use is the largest source of...
Six Decades Left to Eliminate All CO2 Emissions, U.N. Says

Bloomberg: The world must halt fossil-fuel emissions within the next six decades to stave off irreversible impacts that may stem from a warming planet, the United Nations said. Sometime between 2055 and 2070, any carbon dioxide produced as the result of burning oil, coal and natural gas should should be compensated with measures that suck the gas out of the atmosphere, the UN Environment Program said today in its annual Emissions Gap report. Those may include planting trees or using carbon-capture technology....
