Research suggests cooling action will clean airever-rising greenhouse gas emissions and the potential need to deploy untested and expensive climate engineering technologies are just two of the many bits of bad news in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's new report on Mitigation
One of the main causes of greenhouse gas emissions is coal power Hertwich says. Coal-fired power plants produce a lot of pollution so any measures that will reduce our combustion of coal will also help us to fight air pollution.
what humankind is doing to the climate by burning fossil fuels and releasing greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
nevertheless quick to point out that the past decade has seen an unprecedented rate of increase in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere as a result of a global rise in emissions.
If we continue to emit greenhouse gases at current rates we risk overshooting the carbon budget with dire consequences.
If humankind does not control the growth in greenhouse gas emissions in the next decade it increases the likelihood that we will need negative-emissions technologies such as bioenergy with CO2 capture
and sequester carbon dioxide a greenhouse gas. The project is part of the Gates Foundation's Reinvent the Toilet Challenge an effort to develop a next-generation toilet that can be used to disinfect liquid and solid waste
The ORNL technology offers a new pathway to biomass-derived renewable fuels that can lower greenhouse gas emissions and decrease U s. reliance on foreign sources of oil.
and widely license breakthrough technologies that substantially expand the use of sustainable transportation fuels that reduce greenhouse gas emissions
The research offers new perspective on evolutionary biology microbiology and the production of natural gas and may shed light on climate change agriculture and human health.
Methane is the main component of natural gas and a potent greenhouse gas. This innovative work demonstrates the importance of a new global regulatory system in methanogens said William Whitman a professor of microbiology at the University of Georgia who is familiar with the study
The same process allows natural gas production from agricultural residues a renewable resource. Methanogens also play an important role in agriculture
is to reduce New york city's greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2017. What will it take to see these predictions happen?
New york and Pennsylvania are sitting on an enormous reserve of natural gas, the Marcellus Shale. You're looking for real urgency and drive.
he said of pollution and greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels. It may not be quite as visible or an assault on our senses as horse manure

energy security, rural community growth, fewer greenhouse gas emissions, food constraints, green jobs. Binetti outlined the advantages of cellulosic ethanol:
60 percent reduction in greenhouse gases. Grown on marginal land. Good income for farmers. Then he outlined the advantages of biobutanol:
take natural gas. In New york and Pennsylvania, we're sitting on one of the greatest shale gas reserves in the world.
and frees the gas bubbles up. What comes up is really nasty wastewater combined with gas.
They separate the gas, and the wastewater is really nasty stuff. The way to get rid of it is put it in a really giant evaporation pond,
or put it in a disposal well--states like Texas and Louisiana do this --and remove it from the cycle completely.
Today, we want the natural gas because it meets the needs of global climate change, but it taints our water supply.
coal, nuclear, gas. A big power plant uses a boatload of water. The primary use is to cool those processes--the big hyperbolic cooling towers.
and measuring various carbon and gas emissions. Those sensors have typically been used for finding gas leaks
or for measuring how changes in weather patterns. Now, Picarro is working with agriculture and food products companies to apply the sensors to measuring the isotopes in foods.

Like stopping leaks from natural gas pipelines. Not only does this make economic sense this makes climate sense.
No one wants to lose their natural gas, it a product. And methane is worse than CO2 on the list of greenhouse gasses.
And they are doing natural gas research. And better biofuels research, like re-engineering plants, so they do a better job of turning sunlight into fuels than current plants do.
The Texas Transportation Institute has found that in the United states alone 2. 3 billion gallons of gas is wasted each year in traffic jams.
like gas-powered engines, the trick is to produce force on turbines, but to do so without creating emissions.
and land contributes to about one-fifth of global annual greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
