The Supreme Court of the US (SCOTUS) has ruled in West Virginia v. EPA that the EPA lacks the authority to set emission standards for power plants so strict as to force a shift of power generation from fossil fuels. —Opinion in West Virginia v. forcing a shift from higher-emitting to lower-emitting producers.

Energy-related CO 2 emissions buy state, 2010. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has released a new report, State-Level Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2000-2010. The report shows a significant variation of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions across states on both an absolute and a per capita basis.

And hence, while electric vehicles themselves produce zero carbon emissions, charging them increases the amount of electricity generated from fossil fuel energy sources such as coal. OK, well if you drive an EV in West Virginia it is true, as that state produces roughly 94% of its electricity from coal power plants.

Injection of CO 2 began in a first-of-a-kind US Department of Energy–sponsored field trial of enhanced coalbed methane recovery with simultaneous CO2 sequestration in an unmineable coal seam. The field test is incorporating numerous site characterization and monitoring activities to ensure the safety and efficacy of CO2 injection.

The results of the study will be used to assess the potential of carbon storage in coal seams as a safe and permanent method to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing production of natural gas. billion tons of CO2 in the coal seams while increasing natural gas production up to 2.5 trillion cubic feet.

Units 1 and 2 at the Pleasant Prairie Power Plant (P4) recently were retrofitted with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to control emissions of nitrous oxides (NO x ) and wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems to control sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) emissions. This retrofit also included the construction of a new chimney.

The project has future applications for supercritical CO2 cycles in power plants, nuclear power, solar power and natural gas combined cycle units. Success will lead to increased operational reliability of the chemical looping technology with impacts for CO2 capture from solid and gaseous fuel conversion. General Electric Company.
