New coal plants must limit carbon pollution under US EPA regulation
2013-09-20 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: New coal-burning plants will be required to limit the carbon dioxide they release under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys first regulations aimed at curbing climate change by power generators. The EPA issued the draft rules today, meeting a deadline President Barack Obama set out in an address on climate change in June. The rules effectively require coal-fired plants to capture and store a portion of the carbon dioxide they produce, something the industry says is so costly it would preclude...

California free to impose carbon fuel cap, court rules
2013-09-20 10:42:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: California won an appeal this week that will allow it to impose a cap on carbon emissions in fuel sold in the state. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) to cut carbon in transportation fuels sold in California. The standard, implemented by Executive Order S-1-07 in 2007, took effect in 2011, and imposed a 10 per cent cut in fuel carbon emissions by 2020, using a 2010 baseline. The LCFS considers the entire lifecycle of a fuel, including emissions...

Guardian: Household power bills are unlikely to fall for two years, despite Tony Abbott's intention to make the carbon price repeal his first item of legislative business, the electricity industry is warning. With both Labor leadership candidates insisting the ALP will vote with the Greens to block the repeal, the Coalition is likely to have to wait until after the new Senate sits next July to get the abolition through the upper house. But electricity retailers say that means they will have to factor...

EPA Proposes Carbon Pollution Standards for New Power Plants
2013-09-20 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
To combat climate change and improve public health, U.S. EPA proposed Clean Air Act (CAA) standards to cut carbon pollution from new power plants. Outreach and engagement with state/tribal/local governments, industry and labor leaders, non-profits, and others aim to establish carbon pollution standards for existing power plants and move toward cleaner power sector. While providing flexibility, proposed standards ensure new power plants are built with available clean technology. This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of:

Obama's Climate Plan Calls for Making Excess Carbon a CrimeEventually
2013-09-20 05:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Later this morning, Environmental Protection Agency administrator Gina McCarthy will present new draft rules for how much carbon dioxide power plants are to be allowed to spew into the atmosphere. The proposal is considered historic, especially by those who had to sift the 2.5 million or so public comments on the previous draft of these rules. In one respect, it is: This will mark the first time the U.S. has treated carbon dioxide-- the leading greenhouse gas that is warming the earths atmosphere...
