BusinessGreen: Australia's largest power company is to use captured carbon emissions from one of its coal plants to help grow algae that can then be processed into clean transport fuel. Macquarie Generation, which is owned by the New South Wales Government, yesterday signed an agreement with Algae.Tec to site a A$150m (91m) algae carbon capture and biofuels production facility alongside the 2.6GW Bayswater coal-fired power station near Sydney.

Standing on a Brussels street corner during afternoon rush hour, faced with five lanes of bumper-to-bumper red taillights, revving engines and echoing car horns, it comes as no surprise that a recent traffic survey by data firm INRIX found that Brussels suffers from the worst traffic...

Brazil's hydro dams could make its greenhouse gas emissions soar
2013-07-01 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
GlobalPost: Officials here frequently claim that the huge hydroelectric dams that increasingly dot the Brazilian Amazon are a source of "clean energy.' The dams often flood vast areas of rain forest, leading to a major loss of biodiversity and the devastating displacement of indigenous communities from their ancestral lands. That is justified, President Dilma Rousseff claims, because they help fight climate change. "[Hydroelectric power] does not emit greenhouse gases, and that means we have a renewable energy...
