carbon capture

Trees: they’re good for more than just shade, harboring wildlife, and carbon storage. A new sensor system developed by Voltree Power uses the energy produced by trees to wirelessly transmit signals with information about forest fires.

Panelists discuss the technical and commercial state of carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems today, and their deployments in coming years to enable clean coal electrical generation plants. Panelists discuss the technologies - and the need for them -- from the scientific, technology, commercialization and financial perspectives.

On Tuesday, the Environmental Protection Agency released a first draft of a rule that will govern the geologic sequestration of heat-trapping carbon dioxide from power plants. Geologic sequestration of global warming gases, also known as “carbon capture and sequestration” (CCS), is viewed by many as a critical component of a climate change policy portfolio.

Algae has been making the news a lot lately, and is a fairly new topic in environmental circles.

Let's take a step back for a moment and talk about why algae is interesting and important.

A new process from Nova Scotia's Carbon Sense Solutions could pack away 500 megatons of carbon dioxide annually...

Michael Mudd, Chief Executive Officer, FutureGen, is interviewed on FutureGen, a planned near-zero-emission coal-fired power plant and the Department of Energy's recently announced restructuring of that project.

How to Boil a Frog's FrogBlog on why carbon capture, nuclear power, ethanol and all the other fake solutions we're being offered are just making things worse...and where the real solutions will come from.

The purpose of the hearing is to receive testimony on carbon capture, transportation, and sequestration and to receive testimony on two related bills: S. 2323, a bill to provide for the conduct of carbon capture and storage technology research, development and demonstration projects, and for other purposes; and S. 2144, a bill to require the Secretary of Energy to conduct a study of the feasibility relating to the construction and operation of pipelines and carbon dioxide sequestration facilities, and for other purposes.

The Green Suburbanite tells how he has found satisfaction working with ecological garden design in a sustainable house project. From native plants to carbon capture rain gardens he sees a new lawn and garden evolving.

Sustainability begins at home, where our environmental footprint is heavy. More than 30% of our carbon emissions are produced by our shelters. Live Green, Live Smart™ was founded to help ordinary people find ways to make practical changes in their daily behavior and in their shelters to preserve, protect, and restore the earth’s environmental integrity.
