PolitiFact: President Barack Obamas second-term promise to tackle climate change has clashed with election-year politics. Much of the political debate has focused on the Environmental Protection Agencys newly proposed regulations on existing power plants. If enacted, the rules would curb carbon emissions that scientists say cause global warming. Misinformation about these new regulations started even before the EPA released them. In the days leading up to the EPAs June 2 announcement, the U.S. Chamber...

What are main types of carbon capture and storage technology?
2014-08-15 03:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: There are three main types of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology that could eventually help reduce emissions from power stations and other industrial sites: pre-combustion, post-combustion and oxyfuel. Post-combustion In this method, CO2 is separated from the flue gas of the power station by bubbling the gas through an absorber column packed with liquid solvents (such as ammonia). In the most widely used system, once the chemicals in the absorber column become saturated, a stream of...
