Grist: We could liquefy and cram our carbon dioxide emissions into the ground for some 500 years before America`s geologic basins started to overflow with the stuff. That`s according to a new assessment by federal scientists, who spent years scouring America for porous rocks thousands of feet beneath the ground that might be appropriate for carbon sequestration. They studied 36 geologic basins that could be suitable and found that the best region for storing waste CO2 would be the Gulf Coast. From...
EU delays CO2 car targets after fierce lobbying from Germany
2013-06-28 11:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: Germany has been accused of delaying long-running EU plans to introduce stricter car pollution targets, over fears the new rules would harm the country's luxury car industry. But the move has dismayed some other manufacturers, which are investing heavily in new low-emission and fuel-efficient technology. Representatives of EU member states were yesterday planning to discuss and endorse a 95g CO2/km target for 2020 that was agreed in a trialogue between the European Commission, Council and Parliament...

EU carbon market to cancel out 700m tonnes of CO2 cuts

RTCC: The EU carbon market could cancel out 700m tonnes of greenhouse gas reductions if ambitious reforms are not made, the campaign group Sandbag has claimed. A new report published by Sandbag claims CO2 cuts from other EU policies after 2020 as roll-over surpluses further weaken the effectiveness of the EUs flagship climate tool. The recession reduced demand for carbon credits while the absence of stricter EU climate targets meant supply remained too high. MEPs will vote on a plan to reduce...

Germany seeks to block CO2 car limits for 2020
2013-06-27 11:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: Germany is making a last-ditch attempt to block EU plans to slash carbon emissions from new cars by 2020, over fears the new regulations will derail the country's luxury car industry. Representatives of EU member states are today meeting to consider plans that would ensure any car produced in 2020 would emit no more than 95 grams of CO2 per km. The new target, which has been on the table for five years, was this week formally agreed in a trialogue between the European Commission, Council and...
