A study by an international team of researchers, led by Drew Shindell of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City, has identified 14 measures targeting methane and black carbon (BC) emissions that could reduce projected global mean warming ~0.5°C Their paper is published in the journal Science.

According to a new international study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , 38% of black carbon in the Russian Arctic originates from transport and 35% from residential heating sources, while open fires, power plants, and gas flaring are responsible for only 12%, 9%, and 6% respectively. —Zbigniew Klimont.

To meet growing demand, new spaceports and launch vehicle companies are being established in historically aeronautically active nations such as the US and Russia, and in nations with emerging space sectors such as China and India. Rocket emissions of black carbon (BC) produce substantial global mean radiative forcing of 8 mW m ?2

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting proposals for a project to provide assistance in developing and implementing assessment and mitigation activities for diesel sources of black carbon in the Russian Arctic. Soot emissions account for about 17 percent of global warming, more than greenhouse gases like methane.

The plant will feature SGH2’s technology, which will gasify recycled mixed paper waste to produce green hydrogen that reduces carbon emissions by two to three times more than green hydrogen produced using electrolysis and renewable energy, and is five to seven times cheaper. That’s why our partnership with SGH2 is so important.

Steel production could be made with almost no carbon emissions through $278 billion of extra investment by 2050, according to a new report from research firm BloombergNEF (BNEF). Hydrogen and recycling are likely to play a central role in reducing emissions from steel production.

As a developed country, Australia is one of the biggest polluters per capita, and last year its electric car sales accounted for only 2 percent of new car sales. VW said deliveries of electric vehicles have been rising in countries that have fined car companies for failing to meet emissions standards.

Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).

Photo by Marcus Reubenstein on Unsplash Australia will introduce a bill to parliament this week containing its first-ever vehicle emissions rule, a huge step forward for the country. Australia doesn’t have its own fuel efficiency standards, making it one of only two advanced countries without such a rule, alongside Russia.

Both reports also emphasized that although natural gas is the lowest carbon fossil fuel, it is still a fossil fuel. ” The MIT report said that natural gas should be seen as a “ bridge ” to a low-carbon regime, rather than as the ultimate long-term solution itself.

At issue is the 2012 expiration of the Kyoto Protocol, a binding but effectively unenforceable 1997 treaty that had set greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets for 40 industrialized countries, referred to as Annex 1 countries, yielding an average GHG reduction of 5.2%

That’s to say nothing of pollution and climate change. According to the EPA, roughly 29% of greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation, making it the single largest contributor of GHG emissions in the U.S. Cars are an even greater producer of pollutants with direct toxic effects on human health.
