Iran plans carbon emissions trading market, official says
2014-02-17 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Iran plans to set up a carbon trading market to reduce industrial emissions of climate-warming gas, an official from Iran's Fuel Conservation Organization (IFCO) told oil ministry news service Shana. Iran has some of the world's largest gas reserves and is major crude oil exporter. But rapidly rising domestic demand has created a gas supply and vehicle pollution crisis in some cities. Although Iran has some large hydro-power plants, heavy subsidisation of fossil fuels means there is little incentive...

Greenwire: Two lawyers who have already argued one major Supreme Court environmental case this term will return to the high court later this month in a landmark case challenging U.S. EPA's program for cracking down on greenhouse gas emissions to address global warming. Peter Keisler of Sidley Austin LLP will argue on behalf of industry groups that contend EPA overreached when it required stationary sources to obtain Prevention of Significant Deterioration, or PSD, permits for greenhouse gases before beginning...

EPA underestimated methane emissions including those from gas leaks
2014-02-15 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: In recent years, as the natural gas boom has led to the fuel playing an increasing role in the U.S. energy mix, a debate has been raging over its climate benefits. A number of studies measuring emissions of methane, a key component of natural gas with 30 times the warming potential of CO2, have measured significant leakages of the gas. If such leaks are common, the climate benefits of burning natural gas rather than coal diminish. Drilling for natural gas (methane) in coal country can be...

EPA seen underreporting emissions: what that means for natural gas use
2014-02-14 18:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Monitor: For years, natural gas has enjoyed a reputation as the cleanest fossil fuel because it releases less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when it is burned than coal or oil. With technology that allows companies to extract gas from reservoirs trapped in underground shale deposits in the US, domestic gas has become plentiful and cheap. As a result, it is increasingly replacing coal in power generation, and is substituting for gasoline and diesel fuel in fleets of retrofitted vehicles. But from...
