China's carbon emissions may have risen in 2015, contrary to previous assumptions, says new research from Norway's CICERO instituteKorsbakkenAndrewPeters
Combustion of coal also causes pollutant emissions of unburned carbon particles, CO, unburned HC, SO2, ash, and NOx. The amount of CO2 emission depends on the percentage of carbon in coal and the degree of completion of the combustion of carbon. Coal is considered to be the most polluting...

BERLIN, June 4 (Xinhua) -- Without setting a price for carbon emissions, Germany's phase out of coal by 2038 might even increase CO2 emissions on the European level, according to an analysis by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) on Tuesday. To make sure the coal phas...
It is useful to compare the net CO2 emissions of a liquid fuel pro- duced from coal to those of a conventional fuel. This is done in WTW (well-to-wheels) analyses, where the total greenhouse gas generation is analyzed: primary extraction (i.e., coal mine vs. crude oil well), ...
Coal (74%) and natural gas (24%) power plants accounted for almost all of the CO2emitted by the electric power sector in 2012. Nuclear power and renewables do not emit CO2. The Accelerated Nuclear Retirements case projects CO2emissions that are 4% higher compared with the Reference case in...
It can be seen from the line chart (Fig.6.3) that the share of natural gas compared to other power generation sources globally has shown a gradual upward trend in the past two decades. Due to the growth of carbon emissions and intensification of the greenhouse effect around the world, sever...
The article reports on the release of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program as of October 2014 that blames the 2013 uptick in coal plant use for the emission increase due to higher natural gas prices.Power Engineering...
State and federal governments are considering performance standards to limit carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from new fossil-fuel-fired electric-generating units. This study employs a newly developed computational tool to compare the performance and cost impacts of applying a technology-neutral CO2 emissio...
"While we can't literally turn back time, turning carbon dioxide back into coal and burying it back in the ground is a bit like rewinding the emissions clock," RMIT researcher Dr Torben Daeneke said. "To date, CO2 has only been converted into a solid at extremely high temperatures, makin...
