Risks of U.S. coal companies examined as Oxford starts study of stranded carbon assets
2013-02-13 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EnClimateWire: The United Kingdom's Oxford University has begun a four-year research program into the risks that climate change and related regulations will pose to the assets and investment plans of companies around the world that remain wedded to high-carbon business models. With the carbon price at record lows, the international political climate process momentarily stuck, and many countries pulling back from policies promoting low carbon in the face of faltering economies and dwindling budgets, the problem...

US carbon market revamp could show way for struggling EU ETS
2013-02-13 13:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RTCC: While the latest research suggests the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) is headed into the abyss, a healthy US-based system has just proposed targeting yet deeper emission cuts. The EU ETS was damned by Thomson Reuters Point Carbon analysts this week, labelling the collapse in the price to a low of EUR2.81 at the beginning of the month dramatic and enduring. Plans to hold back 900m credits from the next phase of trading are currently under debate in Brussels. Proponents say backloading...

Arctic Permafrost Melt Releasing Carbon Dioxide At Unprecedented Rate
2013-02-12 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Researchers studying Arctic thermokarst failures in Alaska were alarmed to find climate-warming carbon dioxide gas may be releasing into the atmosphere at an unprecedented rate. This release is being caused by melting of the Arctic permafrost, which has kept ancient carbon locked away for millennia; only to be exposed as more warmth and sunlight erodes the long-frozen soils, causing collapse and release of carbon. George Kling, an ecologist and aquatic biogeochemist at the University of Michigan,...

Carbon sponge could soak up coal emissions
2013-02-12 16:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Emissions from coal power stations could be drastically reduced by a new, energy-efficient material that adsorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide, then releases it when exposed to sunlight. In a study published February 11 in Angewandte Chemie, Monash University and CSIRO scientists for the first time discovered a photosensitive metal organic framework (MOF) -- a class of materials known for their exceptional capacity to store gases. This has created a powerful and cost-effective new tool to capture...
