The new program will expand Stanford’s research on energy and the environment by focusing additional resources on the growing importance of natural gas. Compared with burning coal, natural gas emits about half the carbon dioxide and substantially less soot, mercury and sulfur. Earlier post.).

A team at George Washington University has demonstrated a new solar process that can produce lime (CaO) for cement without any emission of carbon dioxide, and at lower projected cost than the existing cement industry process. Thus no CO 2 is formed, to eliminate cement’s greenhouse gas contribution to anthropogenic climate change.

Despite their limitations, GWPs are widely used for comparison among long-lived gases, forming the basis for worldwide political agreements on climate and carbon trading. It’s a seemingly minor change, but it makes a difference to the climate. —Drew Shindell. More methane means less hydroxyl, less sulfate, and more warming.

There is also a push to make those who own SUVs pay a steep annual registration fee to discourage their ownership, as is happening in Washington, D.C. In addition, gasoline vehicles 15 years or older and diesel trucks over 10 years old should not be allowed on US roads, as is happening in some Indian cities.

The International Institute for Sustainable Development’s Geneva-based Global Subsidies Initiative ( GSI ) has issued a five-part series of reports into how nations might remove fossil-fuel subsidies, on the eve of a meeting of G20 finance ministers in Washington this week. This will be easier said than done.

The vision is fuelled by the fear of climate change and the need to find green alternatives to dirty coal, unpopular nuclear power and unreliable gas imports from Russia. Aren’t we just exchanging one nonrenewable resource for another? Are we going to burn more oil, natural gas, or (gasp) coal to produce it?

For EVs, much of the environmental burden centers on the production of batteries, the most energy- and resource-intensive component of the vehicle. Manufacturing an EV battery using coal-based electricity results in more than three times the greenhouse-gas emissions of manufacturing a battery with electricity from renewable sources.
