EIA: US energy-related CO2 emissions in 2012 lowest since 1994; reflects drop in coal use

Green Car Congress

With the exception of 2010, emissions have declined every year since 2007. The warm winter months during 2012 (particularly in the first quarter) more than offset a slight increase in cooling degree days during the summer months. US energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2012 were the lowest since 1994, at 5.3 Duke study.

Average carbon intensity of oil sands production has dropped ~36% in last 40 years; still 12-24% higher than conventional oil CI

Green Car Congress

The carbon intensity (CI) of Alberta oil sands production has significantly decreased over the last 40 years, according to a new study by a team from Stanford University published as an open access paper in the journal Environmental Research Letters. Advanced in situ technologies also may hold promise for longer term reductions (e.g.,

More Reflective Roofs and Pavements Could Help Offset Climate Emissions

Green Car Congress

Increasing the reflectivity or albedo of roofs and pavements in urban areas could offset greenhouse gas emissions by a significant amount, according to an open access paper published last month in the IOP journal Environmental Research Letters. If the annual cycle was considered in this work, the offset may be lower.

Researchers Use NMR Spectroscopy to Observe Dendrite Formation on Li Metal Anodes

Green Car Congress

A paper on their work was published online 16 May in the journal Nature Materials. Last month Professor Grey was awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry’s John Jeyes Award in recognition of her world leadership role in using NMR methods to study structure and function in inorganic materials, particularly lithium-ion batteries.

Survey finds public support for geoengineering research; strongest opposition from conservatives

Green Car Congress

The study, published as an open access paper in IOP Publishing’s journal Environmental Research Letters , is the first international survey on public perception of geoengineering and solar radiation management (SRM) and shows that these terms are becoming increasingly embedded into public discourse.
