ScienceDaily: After more than 10 years' work, scientists at the University of Granada have a developed a carbon gel that enables carbon dioxide to be turned into hydrocarbons by electro-catalytic transformation. Researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) have developed a new material using doped carbon that allows low-cost energy to be produced and also reduces the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere. The recently-patented material is a gel that enables the CO2 to be turned back into hydrocarbons...

Mongabay: China will not introduce a carbon tax in 2013, reports Bloomberg. A carbon tax proposed under the country's most recent five-year plan was expected to go into effect in 2011, but Jia Kang, the head of research at China's Ministry of Finance, said the tax will not be introduced this year. The carbon tax is intended to reduce China's greenhouse gas emissions, which are the highest in the world and have been outpacing the country's breakneck speed of economic growth. Public awareness of emissions...

InsideClimate: wo advocacy groups have come up with a new tactic to show how climate changeand laws to deal with itcould make investments in fossil fuel companies riskier and rock financial markets. In a pair of first-of-their-kind shareholder resolutions, the groups have asked two of the nation's largest coal producers to report to investors how much of their coal assets would be left "stranded" in the ground if the United States were to pass sweeping greenhouse gas regulations. As You Sow, a shareholder...

Reuters: The European Union's second highest court on Thursday dismissed a Polish challenge against the European Commission over the allocation of free carbon permits to energy-intensive industry. Poland has argued that the rules for free allocation of CO2 permits do not take into account its particular situation as an emerging eastern European economy with a heavy reliance on coal. The General Court in Luxembourg disagreed. "The Court rejects Poland's argument that the contested decision would decrease...
