Three researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have proposed an innovative way to improve global climate change predictions by using a supercomputer with low-power embedded microprocessors, an approach that would overcome limitations posed by today's conventional supercomputers.
To avoid the most catastrophic consequences of global climate change, industrialized nations need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 80% by 2050, according to the author of the Air + Waste Management Association's (A+WMA) 38th Annual Critical Review, "Prospects for Future Climate and the Reasons for Early Action."
Fallow agricultural land and steppe-formation processes are evidently capable of having a much greater effect on global air quality than was previously assumed.
Despite some encouraging environmental and energy-efficiency developments in recent years, none of America's 13 largest publicly traded homebuilders has "fully embraced the emerging market of sustainable building design and construction," according to a major new study by Calvert
The Colorado Governor's Energy Office (GEO) has selected The Climate Trust to implement the Colorado Carbon Fund, a ground-breaking program that will further advance Colorado to a New Energy Economy.
More than three-quarters of companies in the chemical, energy and natural resources industries worldwide are looking to policy makers to set a clear and consistent framework that supports technology innovation and lays out global emission targets and efficiency standards to help reduce the level of greenhouse gas emissions, according to a study on climate change released today by Accenture.
Global warming is likely to reduce the health of tropical species, scientists from UCLA and the University of Washington report May 6 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Houston-based Greenstar North America, the country's largest private processor of recyclables, today announced with its Irish parent company, NTR, continuing innovations in sustainable environmental services. The overall development program includes $300 million in investments in solar, wind and single stream recycling capabilities.
With the fundamental objective of advancing the most efficient use of energy as possible to reduce overall demand, the programs include home weatherization, incentives to purchase efficient appliances, interactive online efficiency tools, system infrastructure and co-generation opportunities for commercial, industrial and municipal customers, and additional funding for low-income programs.
Intel Corporation, Samsung Electronics and TSMC today announced they have reached agreement on the need for industry-wide collaboration to target a transition to larger, 450mm-sized wafers starting in 2012. The transition to larger wafers will enable continued growth of the semiconductor industry and helps maintain a reasonable cost structure for future integrated circuit manufacturing and applications.
