The Minerals Metals & Materials Society (TMS) has been commissioned by the Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) to lead a project consisting of a two-phased study into areas where new materials and processing breakthroughs can lead to transformational advances in energy efficiency, energy security, and reductions in carbon emissions.
YRC Worldwide has launched a new Green Balance Calculator, which was developed in collaboration with Sustainable Travel International. Customers who would like to help offset their emissions that are related with their shipments through carbon offset projects that are certified can utilize this calculator.
ACCIONA’s Red Hills Wind Farm has been validated and registered under the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS), and listed on APX’s VCS Carbon Registry. It is the first wind farm to be validated on APX’s VCS Carbon Registry in the United States. The wind farm is constructed in Oklahoma. This state has no RPS and hence there is no possibility for generating compliance RECs.
NextEra Energy Resources has expanded its product offering through the creation of US wind carbon offset credits - verified emission reductions (VERs). NextEra Energy Resources is a subsidiary unit of FPL Group and North America’s leading generator of wind power and it is also the first wind developer, owner and operator to produce and offer this specific type of carbon offset credit.
Many human activities such as driving automobiles and heating homes typically add climate-changing carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Using wood for home construction, instead of more energy intensive building products, can actually help offset CO2 contributions.
Research and Markets announced the addition of a new report titled “Carbon Funds Directory 2009/10” in their offering. The “Carbon Funds Directory 2009/10” has been completely updated with a list of 100 planned and existing funds that are involved in the management of more than $15 billion. This money has been allotted for investments in various projects involved in bringing down the rate of carbon emissions and to create carbon credits.
The Nature Conservancy in collaboration with Blue Source launched a unique forest conservation program. The conservation program, Working Woodlands, aspires to fight climate change and protect forests. This program aims to reward landowners who show good ability to manage their forest effectively with market-based incentives.
The Clean Air Task Force applauds Energy Secretary Chu for providing grants amounting to nearly $1 billion towards the development of low-carbon projects that are of vital importance all over the world. Each individual project will be involved in capturing and separating at least 90% of carbon dioxide from coal with the usage of varied technologies.
Bauer Power installs all kinds of renewable energy solutions for solar electric, solar pool heating and solar thermal projects. Elzinga & Hoeksema Greenhouses is one of the solar hot water projects, which the company has handled successfully. The project includes 200 solar thermal collectors to heat the completely organic greenhouse. This greenhouse is used to grow potted plants and organic vegetables.
A new method to measure CO2 absorption by oceans was developed by an international team of scientists. This initiative was led by University of East Anglia (UEA), and the CO2 uptake for the whole of North Atlantic was mapped for the first time.
