CLIMATE CHANGE: China and India called keys in climate change battle
2008-05-08 18:23:00 If the world is going to truly combat greenhouse gas emissions, China and India have to be part of the fight, the chief economist for the Paris-based International Energy Agency said Tuesday. Fatih Birol told oil and gas executives at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston that the economies of China and India are growing at such a pace that they'll keep needing more energy, much of it from coal. Even if Europe cuts emissions by 20 percent in the next dozen years as pledged, it won't be enough to overcome emissions anticipated to increase in the developing giants, he said.But don't blame China, the bigger of the two, he said.China's growth is "simply imitating" what developed countries have already done. Americans love their cars, and increasingly the Chinese do as well, driving most of the increase in that country's demand.The nation is expected to overtake the U.S. in terms of car ownership in seven to eight years. And by 2030, 14 percent of Chinese will have cars, as...

UNITED STATES: George Walter Bush Opens Climate Summit and the energy stock
2007-09-28 08:12:00 The United States is lining up with China, India and the world's other biggest polluting nations to oppose mandatory cuts in global-warming greenhouse gases sought by the United Nations and European countries. President Bush's two-day climate meeting opened Thursday. It will emphasize creating more processes to find a solution to global warming, rather than setting firm goals for reducing carbon dioxide and other gases blamed for heating up the atmosphere. The nations summoned by Bush will "seek agreement on the process" and more work teams for nations to set their own strategies beyond 2012, when the U.N.-brokered Kyoto Protocol expires, according to a White House statement. It also "could include a long-term global goal, nationally defined midterm goals and strategies, and sector-based approaches for improving energy security and reducing greenhouse gas emissions," the White House said.Energy Futures Contracts RiseOil and other petroleum futures rose amid supply concerns spar...

UNITED STATES: Aventine Renewable Energy: Beyond a Fad
2007-09-06 22:24:00 As American consumers continue to feel pain every time they pull up to a gasoline pump, renewable energy remains a popular talking point. The question is when will there be more action than talk, and when will investors in companies making such alternative fuels as ethanol reap a bumper crop of benefits in share price.Ethanol obviously has grown beyond a fad as an energy source, and Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings Inc. is one of the biggest producers and marketers in the United States. The company was established in 1981, giving it a marketing strength absent from many of its recently arriving competitors. Little goes to waste at Aventine: while its strength is ethanol, the company also produces and markets biodiesel and such byproducts as corn gluten feed and meal, distillers products, carbon dioxide and brewers? yeast.With plants in its hometown of Pekin, Ill., and another in Aurora, Neb., the company?s annual production capacity is around 207 million gallons.
