carbon dioxide

The abandonment of the United States’ most prominent plan to capture carbon dioxide from an existing coal-burning power plant hurts efforts to rein in emissions tied to global warming.

Australia will force its 500 worst polluters to pay 23 Australian dollars ($25) for every ton of carbon dioxide they emit, with the government promising to compensate households hit with higher power bills under a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions unveiled Sunday.

The new labels will compare a vehicle’s emissions of carbon dioxide with those of all other vehicles, as well as provide miles-per-gallon data.

(American Physical Society) he American Physical Society has released a new assessment -- Direct Air Capture of CO2 with Chemicals -- to better inform the scientific community on the technical aspects of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

France’s Champagne industry is trying to cut the carbon dioxide it emits transporting billions of tiny bubbles around the world.

(American Chemical Society) The United States could completely stop emissions of carbon dioxide from coal-fired electric power plants -- a crucial step for controlling global warming -- within 20 years by using technology that already exists or could be commercially available within a decade.

That's the conclusion of an article in the American Chemical Society's semi-monthly journal Environmental Science & Technology.

Finding an economical way to capture carbon dioxide from existing coal burning power plants is key to getting China to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions as well as for U.S. efforts to combat global warming, says a study being released Friday.
