BusinessGreen: The European Union should set an ambitious goal to halve emissions from 1990 to 2030, in order to help build confidence among businesses and other countries that it is serious about limiting climate change risks. Lord Stern, former World Bank chief economist and author of the landmark 2006 report on the costs of climate change, also said setting a strong carbon reduction target was more pressing for the EU than specific technology targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency. Speaking...

Phase 2 of Western Wind and Solar Integration Study (WWSIS-2) quantifies potential impacts of increasing wind and solar power generation on operators of fossil-fueled power plants in West. Study finds carbon emissions induced by more frequent cycling are negligible (<0.2%) compared with carbon reductions achieved via wind and solar power generation. SO<sub>2</sub> emissions reductions from wind and solar are 5% less than expected, and emissions of nitrogen oxides are reduced 2% more than ...This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of:

E.P.A. Rules on Emissions at Existing Coal Plants Might Give States Leeway
2013-09-24 03:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Four years ago, Congress rejected the idea of a cap-and-trade system to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by putting a price on them. But the plan announced by the Environmental Protection Agency on Friday to regulate emissions from existing coal-fired power plants could foster creation of such a system, at least on a regional basis, and a push for renewable energy and energy efficiency in states that so far have embraced neither. It could also leave the business of carbon regulation in the hands...

Shore power a green answer to costly berthing emissions?
2013-09-24 01:00:00| Ship Technology
Emissions from auxiliary engines running while ships are at berth is a substantial source of pollution. By using shore-side electrical power, or cold-ironing, ships can reduce emissions and operational costs. Frances Cook looks at the US's busiest po

Airlines urge UN deal on emissions to avoid trade war
2013-09-24 00:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Airlines on Monday urged a UN aviation group to back a mandatory global framework to curb airline emissions, saying failure to reach a deal would revive threats of a trade war. The International Air Transport Association, which represents some 200 airlines, said the United Nations' aviation agency could agree on a new system when its 191 states begin their assembly in Montreal this week. The UN's International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which sets standards for air travel, is under...
