Perspective: Why Carbon Emissions Should Not Have Been the Focus of the UN Climate Change Summit and Why the 15th Conference of the Parties Should Have Focused on Technology Transfer

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 20, 2009

The Earth continues to experience record-breaking temperatures caused by increased atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs). WHY A REDUCTION IN CARBON EMISSIONS SHOULD NOT BE THE FOCUS. Do we really want to be remembered as the generation that wasted another decade?

The concept was presented at two recent international conferences, and has been described in several recent papers. Leaks in water pipes can waste up to half the water in a system; oil-pipeline leaks can lead to toxic spills and prolonged, expensive cleanup operations.

That was rather dramatic climate change, but presumably that had nothing to do with mankind’s carbon dioxide emissions.” Sometimes, when I was feeling particularly bold, I would add things like this: you know, 10,000 years or so back we had an ice age.

Liquid Air Energy Network forms in UK; focus on transportation and energy storage

Green Car Congress

MAY 9, 2013

A new new forum for the advocacy and development of liquid air as an alternative technology to harness waste and surplus energy within power and transport—the Liquid Air Energy Network (LAEN)—has formed in the UK. The main potential applications are in electricity storage, transport and the recovery of waste heat.

A Skeptic’s Take on Beaming Power to Earth from Space

Cars That Think

MAY 9, 2024

Space-based solar power is an idea so beautiful, so tantalizing that some argue it is a wish worth fulfilling. The thousands of rocket launches needed to loft and maintain these space power stations would dump lots of soot, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants into the stratosphere, with uncertain climate impacts.

Osage Bio Energy: Winter Barley Ethanol as Advanced Biofuel for RFS-2

Green Car Congress

MARCH 15, 2010

An advanced biofuel has a carbon footprint that is 50% or less of conventional gasoline and OBE plans to start the certification process by Q4 2010. These add up to reduced carbon impacts to grow/harvest feedstock. This results in reduced carbon impact on transportation/distribution of the barley feedstock and finished fuel ethanol.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. To restore balance we must protect the oxygen-producing biomass of Earth and reduce the amount of carbon emissions. For an extended discussion see Appendix C).
