18 states file to force EPA to regulate greenhouse gas emissions
2008-04-07 05:06:00 Seventeen states are backing Massachusetts in a petition to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia that would force the EPA to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. Filed one year after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the EPA needed to decide on regulating vehicle emissions - a year in which the EPA failed to take any action - the petition asks that the court demand the EPA release a decision in the next 60 days. When Massachusetts took the EPA to court in 2006 to decide the issue, the senior attorney for the Sierra Club, David Bookbinder, told Newsweek that the Supreme Court would have to issue a clear ruling. "There's really no wiggle room. Either EPA has this authority or not. It's a very plain language case," he said at the time. A year and a half later, here we are. The states are: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and the District o...

New process for storing gas may help improve greenhouse gas management
2008-02-03 11:55:00 University of Calgary chemists have uncovered a new process for capturing and storing gas from the environment, which may help improve greenhouse gas management and fuel cell development. The researchers, who have developed the process that involves catching gas from the environment and holding it indefinitely in molecular-sized containers, say that it signifies a novel method of gas storage for a more safe and efficient way of capturing, storing and transporting gases. The study for the development of this technique, was led by George Shimizu, University of Calgary chemistry professor and colleagues from the National Research Council, who calls this breakthrough “molecular nanovalves”. “This is a proof of concept that represents an entirely new way of storing gas, not just improving on a method that already exists. We have come up with a material that mechanically traps gas at high densities without having to use high pressures, which require ...

Brammo?s greenhouse gas calculator now in beta mode
2008-01-26 02:17:00 Brammo sent out an email to people who've registered at the Enertia bike website about the beta version of a greenhouse gas calculator. I assume this is the precursor to the technology that Brammo representatives told AutoblogGreen about in December whereby Enertia bikes will connect to the Internet and tell owners (and others in a social networking sort of space) how much CO2 the rider has saved compared to other methods of transportation. In the current version, you manually input your route and then see how much you save in CO2 emissions and fuel if you were riding an Enertia today. If you register, you can save routes and access other features. I haven't spent enough time to see if this is indeed an option, but there should certainly be a way to add all your driving for a year together to get an annual total.While no one can buy an Enertia quite yet, we do know what it's like to take one for a spin.

New bill on greenhouse gas emissions will not hinder America 's future
2008-01-21 10:29:00 A new report, conducted by researchers at Harvard University and RTI International, has indicated that the proposed legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will not hinder America's future economic growth. The report, conducted for the US Environmental Protection Agency, analyzed expected future economic adjustments associated with the proposed Low Carbon Economy Act of 2007, Senate Bill S.1766. This bill, proposed by Senators Jeff Bingaman and Arlen Specter, would substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the United States by placing a cap on emissions from most parts of the economy. The bill includes both a trading system for emissions allowances and a technology accelerator payment system (TAP) in order to encourage cost-effective reductions and reduce any future uncertainties faced by businesses and households. "According to our analysis using the RTI ADAGE model, the S.1766 bill would achieve emissions reductions with only a sl...

EPA says no to California greenhouse gas rules waiver
2007-12-20 04:28:00 Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Stephen Johnson today announced the agency was rejecting California's application for a waiver that would allow the state to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. California and seventeen other states had wanted to impose rules that would limit CO2 emissions. The rules would have effectively raised fuel efficiency requirements since CO2 emissions are directly related to fuel burned. Johnson used the energy bill that was signed into law by the President today as part of the rationale for the decision. Since the new fuel economy regulations apply to all fifty states denying the waiver would avoid having multiple state level regulations that would make life more difficult for carmakers. Immediately following the announcement California Attorney General Jerry Brown said he and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger would sue the EPA at the earliest possible time to overturn the decision.[Source: San Francisco Chronicle]
U.S. rejects greenhouse gas emission targets set by rich countries
2007-12-10 13:50:00 U.S. chief climate negotiator Harlan Watson said on Monday that his government rejected a greenhouse gas emission cut target set by rich nations as part of a "roadmap" for negotiations on a new climate deal for the next two years. The U.S. wanted the U.N. climate change conference to end on Friday with an accord to start two years of negotiations on a new global climate treaty, he told a press conference here. "It's prejudging what the outcome should be," he said, commenting on a draft which reportedly suggests that rich nations should cut emissions of greenhouse gases by between 25 and 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2020. A draft final text by Indonesia, South Africa and Australia says evidence by the U.N. climate panel demands cuts of 25-40 percent by rich nations to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. "Our opinion about Kyoto has not changed," Watson said. President George W. Bush opposes Kyoto Protocol, which binds 36 industrial nations to cut emissions by five ...
