Economic growth no longer translates into more greenhouse gas: IEA
2016-03-16 04:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Global economic growth did not translate into more harmful greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector last year, the IEA said on Wednesday, a strong indication that growth and increased pollution no longer go hand in hand. For the second year running, worldwide CO2 emissions stalled in 2015 while the global economy grew by 3.1 percent, after a 3.4-percent rise in 2014, the International Energy Agency said. A surge in the contribution from renewable energy sources explains the decoupling of...

Oil and natural gas boom causes methane emissions to increase

So far, the causes have been unknown. According to the recent study of climate scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), at least 40% of this increase result from the growing production of oil and natural gas in the northern hemisphere. The results are now published in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics...

General Electric Should Target Acquisitions In The Oil And Gas...

GE will likely make an acquisition in the oil and gas industry, but I believe that small acquisitions are the way to go. GE is fairly valued based on 2016E earnings, but the catalysts that are in place make the company an attractive long-term investment.
Feds Block Oregon Natural Gas Export Terminal
2016-03-14 13:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hill: Federal officials denied a permit Friday for a proposed liquefied natural gas export terminal, a rare rebuke of a gas project by the federal government. In rejecting the Jordan Cove Energy Project on Oregons coast and the major pipeline to bring gas to it, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) said that Veresen Inc., the company behind it, did not sufficiently demonstrate that the need for the pipeline outweighs the harm to local landowners. We find the generalized allegations of...
