Asian News International: Cities across the globe can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by implementing aggressive, but practical policy changes, a new study has said. The study by University of Toronto Civil Engineering Professor Chris Kennedy and World Bank climate change specialist Lorraine Sugar, showed that it is technically possible for cities to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 70 per cent or more in the long-term. Kennedy and Sugar made the claim in 'A low carbon infrastructure plan for Toronto,...

Report: Europe could halve its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030
2013-02-13 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EurActiv: By 2030, Europe could be generating more than 40% of its energy from renewables, using 38% less energy than in 2005 and emitting 50% less greenhouse gases than it did in 1990, a new WWF report shows. "Achieving such levels would put the EU on track to deliver a 100% renewably powered energy system by 2050 at the latest,' says the report, Re-energising Europe, prepared for WWF by the Ecofys consultancy. The European Commission will soon begin an orientation debate about 2030 climate targets,...

Carbon sponge could soak up coal emissions
2013-02-12 16:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Emissions from coal power stations could be drastically reduced by a new, energy-efficient material that adsorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide, then releases it when exposed to sunlight. In a study published February 11 in Angewandte Chemie, Monash University and CSIRO scientists for the first time discovered a photosensitive metal organic framework (MOF) -- a class of materials known for their exceptional capacity to store gases. This has created a powerful and cost-effective new tool to capture...
