Sydney Morning Herald: Australia's greenhouse gas emissions were little changed in the first year of the carbon price, as emissions from sectors only partly covered by the tax nullified most of the cuts. Emissions for the 12 months to June totalled 545.9 million tonnes, 300,000 tonnes lower than a year earlier, the government's National Greenhouse Gas Inventory figures say. Emissions reductions from power plants fell, accelerating to an annual drop of 6.3 per cent - or cutting 12.2 million tonnes - from a 6.1 per...

Australia: Greg Hunt's claim on carbon figures little more than hot air
2013-12-14 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Environment Minister Greg Hunt's media spinners deserve a Christmas bonus. Last weekend, Murdoch's tabloids led a nationwide chorus deploring data showing Australia's greenhouse gas emissions for the first year of the carbon price had declined by a mere 0.1 per cent. "Carbon tax truly was load of hot air", "The great carbon con," "Carbon tax a stinker", were among the headlines trumpeted by News Corp newspapers. The single number leaked to the papers looked compelling: emissions of the gases...

Bloomberg: Support for voluntary retirement of United Nations carbon credits at last months global climate talks is unlikely to dent a surplus that drove prices to record lows, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Envoys at the UN Conference of the Parties in Warsaw encouraged canceling Certified Emission Reductions, or CERs, while stopped short of simplifying the retirement process. About 4 million CERs have been voluntarily canceled by nations and companies, UN data show, compared with more than...
Generating Electricity May Utilize Otherwise Unwanted Carbon Dioxide
2013-12-13 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: A team of American researchers has designed a novel geothermal power plant that would sequester large amounts of carbon dioxide underground as part of its operations. According to a report being presented on Friday at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco, carbon dioxide can be used to boost power generation from geothermal sources by at least 10 times compared to conventional means. Typical geothermal power plants tap into hot water that is deep underground, pull the heat...
