Safe long-term storage large amounts carbon dioxide in saline aquifers?
2015-05-21 19:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The carbon dioxide (CO2) at the Bravo Dome gas field in New Mexico is volcanic in origin, and its emplacement began more than a million years ago, not 10 thousand years ago, as previously estimated. Averaged across the reservoir, only 20% of the CO2 has dissolved into the field's saline brine over 1.2 million years, while the rest remains as a free gas trapped by the cap-rock, suggesting that safe long-term storage in geological sites is viable. This study documents the first field evidence for...

Toronto Sun: British Columbia's carbon tax has been described by admirers as among the best in the world for fighting climate change. Today I'm going to use it, including the most optimistic projections by its supporters, to show you why it is utterly meaningless in the absence of a truly global plan to combat greenhouse gas emissions. The tax, introduced in 2008 at $10 per tonne of industrial carbon dioxide emissions, now $30, is portrayed by its supporters as helping to transform B.C. into a low-carbon...

Canada: Study explores capture of clean carbon dioxide from landfill gases
2015-05-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Vancouver Sun: Local greenhouse grower Village Farms is hoping to extract clean carbon dioxide -- as well as heat and electricity -- from the landfill gases it burns. The Delta-based grower has been burning methane gas from Vancouvers landfill to generate heat and electricity for 12 years at the firms Ladner facility under an agreement with the City of Vancouver and BC Hydro, according to the firms development director Jonathan Bos. But because landfill gas is chemically inconsistent and contains contaminants,...
