Capturing the Fugitives: Reducing Methane Emissions from Natural Gas
2013-04-04 14:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
World Resources Institute: The rapid expansion of natural gas development in the United States has been a double-edged sword. While natural gas supporters are quick to point out its economic benefits and green attributes--natural gas produces roughly half the carbon dioxide emissions of coal during combustion--this isnt the whole story. Natural gas comes with environmental consequences, including risks to air and water quality. One risk is fugitive methane emissions, potent greenhouse gases that escape into the atmosphere...

Rohde & Schwarz Test Receivers Detect Unwanted Cable Network Emissions
2013-04-04 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Radiated emissions from the cable TV infrastructure can cause interference in cellular LTE networks. The R&S EFL110 and R&S EFL210 cable TV analyzer and leakage detectors detect these electromagnetic emissions quickly, accurately and cost-effectively. <br /> <br /> Munich — Using the R&S EFL110 and R&S EFL210 portable TV test receivers, cable TV network operators can now locate the loose connections or damaged shielding that can generate unwanted emissions in the UHF frequency range. ...This story is related to the following:Computer Hardware and PeripheralsEmissions Testers | Leak Detectors | Television Receivers

Improving the rigor of measuring emissions from deforestation, agriculture
2013-04-03 21:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: While much has been written about the potential of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by protecting tropical forests, a proposed program to do just that has been challenged by a number of factors, including concerns about the accuracy of measuring for carbon reductions. Failure to properly account for carbon could undermine the effectiveness of the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) program as a tool for mitigating climate change and securing benefits for local people. At...

CO2 Emissions: Can Europe Save Its Cap-and-Trade System?
2013-04-03 12:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Spiegel: Europe's cap-and-trade system for reducing the release of greenhouse gases is broken, but not everybody wants to fix it. Industry has profited immensely from the plummeting prices of CO2 emissions certificates, and from lax checks on questionable environmental projects undertaken overseas. Saving the climate? It doesn't seem all that difficult at first glance. All you have to do is fly from Germany to Zambia once in a while, as the German energy giant RWE's environment protection team does. It...

Least developed countries agree to cut greenhouse gas emissions
2013-04-03 11:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network,: In what could be a far-reaching move, the world's poorest countries say they are now prepared to commit themselves to binding cuts in their emissions of greenhouse gases. Until now, the 49-strong group of Least Developed Countries (LDC) have insisted the primary responsibility for tackling climate change through carbon cuts lies with industrialised nations, which emitted most of the carbon dioxide currently in the atmosphere. The LDC group's move has the potential to quicken the pace of the glacially-slow...
