The power sector has become less carbon-intensive as natural gas-fired generation displaced coal-fired and petroleum-fired generation and as the noncarbon sources of electricity generation—especially renewables such as wind and solar—have grown. In 2005, noncarbon sources accounted for 28% of the US electricity mix.

These emissions estimates raise a question: is the energy content of shale effectively “off limits” in a GHG constrained world, or is there a way to extract the stored chemical energy from oil shale with greatly reduced CO2 emissions? —Mulchandani and Brandt. times those of conventional fuel cycles or ~0.33

Getting the right values directly affects consumer purchases and calculations, as CO 2 emission levels are frequently used by authorities to define the taxes to be paid by the vehicle owner. Even values given by car makers for CO 2 emissions from cars and fuels already in the market have been questioned repeatedly. —Methanol report.

Implementation of Bio-SNG will only take place with the appropriate tax, incentive and legislative environment. For transport applications, Bio-SNG is significantly more cost effective than electrical solutions (either using grid electricity - £1,000/ te CO 2 e, or presuming offshore wind derived renewable electricity - £600/ te CO 2 e).

cap and trade or a carbon tax) is a likely key part of a US strategy to reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, such a market-based approach alone will not induce the investments in long-lived technology required to achieve a 50 to 80% reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide by mid-century. The same is true of natural gas-fired plants.

Continue implementation of Clean Air Act requirements on criteria pollutants (such as SO 2 and NO x ) and hazardous air pollutants (such as mercury) to include creating new performance standards for CO2 emissions from existing stationary sources, which would follow the performance standards for new plants released in March 2012.
