Majority of Chinas Proposed Coal-Fired Power Plants Located in Water-Stressed Regions
2013-08-26 14:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
World Resources Institute: To maintain its economic growth and provide for its massive population, China must reconcile two powerful, converging trends: energy demand and resource scarcity. One prime example of this tension is the countrys coal use and water supply. According to a new WRI analysis, more than half of Chinas proposed coal-fired power plants are slated to be built in areas of high or extremely high water stress. If these plants are built, they could further strain already-scarce resources, threatening water...

A New Way to Measure Emissions from Chinas Coal-Fired Power Plants
2013-08-14 16:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
World Resources Institute: To prevent the most severe impacts of climate change, it is essential to limit fossil fuel use--particularly coal use in power production. The share of coal in global energy consumption is increasing, with most growth occurring in China, the largest coal consumer in the world. In China, coal-fired power plants are responsible for more than 45 percent of total fuel-combustion CO2 emissions. Because emissions management begins with measurement, accurately accounting for CO2 emissions from Chinese coal-fired...

Chinas coal-fired economy dying of thirst as mines lack water
2013-07-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: At first glance, Daliuta in northern China appears to have a river running through it. A closer look reveals the stretch of water in the center is a pond, dammed at both ends. Beyond the barriers, the Wulanmuluns bed is dry. Daliuta in Shaanxi province sits on top of the worlds biggest underground coal mine, which requires millions of liters of water a day for extracting, washing and processing the fuel. The town is the epicenter of a looming collision between Chinas increasingly scarce supplies...

Why Is Germany's Greenest City Building a Coal-Fired Power Plant?
2013-07-24 11:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: If you stand on top of a protective dyke in the village of Moorburg and look west or north, you can almost forget that you're standing in the midst of Germany's second-largest city. Behind a tree-shaded 16th-century church, green fields stretch into misty distances and old brick houses line a winding road whose narrow lanes bespeak a time preceding motorized vehicles. If you look east or south, however, Moorburg becomes something else entirely. Just a stone's throw from the church, towering smokestacks...
