Efficiency, Clean Energy Put Dent in CO2 Emissions
Americans are using less electricity as buildings become more energy-efficient and industrial power demand weakens, and a new report says that is leading to three trends: Declining carbon dioxide emissions, low electric power prices and the decline of coal, which…
ABB Wins 1st Commercial Order for Breakthrough 15-Second Flash Charging Technology to Enable CO2-Free Public Transport in Geneva
ABB has been awarded orders totaling more than $16 million by Transports Publics Genevois (TPG), Geneva’s public transport operator, and Swiss bus manufacturer HESS, to provide flash charging and on-board electric vehicle technology for 12 TOSA (Trolleybus Optimisation Système Alimentation)…
Researchers Assess Power Plants that Convert all of their CO2 Emissions into Carbon Nanotubes
Last year, researchers at George Washington University proposed a method for transforming CO2 emissions into carbon nanotubes (CNTs). When applied to power plants, the technology could completely eliminate the power plants’ CO2 emissions while simultaneously producing a valuable product that…
Antarctic CO2 Hits 400ppm for the First Time in 4m Years
We’re officially living in a new world. Carbon dioxide has been steadily rising since the start of the Industrial Revolution, setting a new high year after year. There’s a notable new entry to the record books. The last station on…
CO2 Turned into Stone in Iceland in Climate Change Breakthrough
Carbon dioxide has been pumped underground and turned rapidly into stone, demonstrating a radical new way to tackle climate change. The unique project promises a cheaper and more secure way of burying CO2 from fossil fuel burning underground, where it…
Commission welcomes landmark deal on CO2 standard for aircraft emissions
The Commission welcomes the agreement reached yesterday within the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) on the first ever-global standard to cap CO2 emissions from aircraft. EU Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc said, “This agreement is an important step to curb…
Transport as Climate Policy: How European Cities Are Changing People’s Habits
In European capitals today, it is no longer sufficient for public transport lines to simply become faster and more modern. Urban transport is increasingly viewed as a tool for reducing emissions, air pollution, and the number of cars in urban…
