Operators of biogas facilities in the UK must report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for every megajoule (MJ) of energy produced, according to a recent study published in Energy Policy. The study found that while many biogas facilities will meet current GHG thresholds, several operators may not comply due to methodological

Canada has made significant strides in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, thanks in large part to its balanced energy portfolio, which relies on abundant hydro and nuclear power. However, environmental groups are opposing efforts to upgrade nuclear plants, develop new hydro resources, and export Quebec hydro to the United States,

As the world converges at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris, a new report by Yale University highlights the unprecedented scale of climate action taken by cities, regions, companies, and investors. Despite not yet meeting the goal of limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius, the collective

Researchers at the University of Southampton have conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of land use change to second generation non-food bioenergy crops on soil organic carbon and greenhouse gas emissions in temperate zone agriculture. The study analyzed 138 original studies and found that transitions from arable

The Obama administration plans to hold a lease auction in Washington on December 10, where 500 acres of public land in Arkansas and Michigan will be offered for oil and gas development. Environmental groups have announced their intention to protest the auction, which they claim undermines the president's

A recent research study conducted in a Thessaloniki, Greece, greenhouse has revealed the efficacy of a hybrid solar energy saving system (HSESS) in enhancing the yield and quality of hydroponically cultivated tomatoes. The study, led by G.K. Ntinas from Aristotle University, demonstrated that the use of HSESS improved the

Fresh data on Climate Modeling suggest that regional climate transitions in response to greenhouse gas concentrations are notoriously difficult to predict. Researchers from the University of Bordeaux reveal evidence of 37 forced regional abrupt changes in various climate systems, eight of which occur at a global warming level of less

Researchers at Tongji University have proposed a two-stage game for an effective subsidy scheme to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in the urban transport market. The study suggests that a joint implementation of trip-based and frequency-related subsidies generates the largest welfare gains and makes competitive operators provide equilibrium fares and

A recent study has proposed a novel strategy for power system dispatch that takes into account the flow of carbon emissions and large consumers. The research, conducted by researchers at the University of Rhode Island, aims to reduce both the operation cost of the power grid and the power utilization
