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...

CO2: Proyecto DECARBit investigará tecnologías de captura de carbono más ec
2007-11-25 01:20:00 Una nueva línea de investigación, financiada con fondos comunitarios, sobre tecnologías de captura de carbono de precombustión para centrales eléctricas de gas y carbón está a punto de ponerse en marcha. La coordinación del proyecto DECARBit, de cuatro años de duración, correrá a cargo de la organización independiente noruega de investigación SINTEF. Financiado con cargo al Séptimo Programa Marco, el proyecto contará con la participación de catorce socios provenientes de ocho países.La tecnología empleada actualmente en la captura de CO2 se basa principalmente en la acción de sustancias químicas capaces de depurar los gases de combustión y separar el CO2 de otros gases en el caudal de escape; es lo que se da en llamar la captura poscombustión. El método resulta más caro y más complicado de dominar que la captura en precombustión, consistente en eliminar el carbono presente en los combustibles a base de carbón y gas natural antes de su llegada a la central eléctrica.La descarbonizaci...

Petrobras and Statoil join forces to produce biofuels
2007-09-19 01:47:00 Brazil meets Norway to produce biofuels. During a state visit by Brazil's President Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, the two directors of the two state-owned oil companies, José Sergio Gabrielli de Acevedo and Helge Lund, signed agreements to collaborate in biofuel research, as well as better methods to search for oil (ahem). Statoil wants to acquire Brazil's expertise in producing ethanol and Petrobras has proven to be the perfect partner since they already have joined forces in other projects in Brazil, Angola, Nigeria and the Gulf of Mexico. The Scandinavian countries are Europe's leaders in ethanol consumption, which is mostly imported from third parties. Norway, on the other hand, is an important oil producer because of its operations in the North Sea.
