Owners of Castello Monte Vibiano Vecchio olive oil farmplan on cutting carbon emissions by 100% in just a year. As TreeHugger reports there’s probably a few other small farms around the world who’ve managed to accomplish this, but just not publicized it yet. Nevertheless, this all seems very interesting: They’ve installed a solar powered battery charging [...]

The global carbon market is on pace to grow more than 80 percent this year to $116 billion, according to the clean-technology research and analytics firm New Energy Finance. The burgeoning market — which hinges on the buying and selling of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions — grew almost 36 percent, from $64 [...]

A NASA/university team has published the first global satellite maps of the key greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in Earth’s mid-troposphere, an area about 8 kilometers, or 5 miles, above Earth. The team’s study reveals new information on how carbon dioxide, which directly contributes to climate change, is distributed in Earth’s [...]

Sectoral industry agreements have received considerable attention for their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But developing countries remain wary. Steel and aluminium producers, as well as the cement sector, are among the most fidgety, given the energy- and emissions-intensive nature of their businesses.

Bulgaria has opened a long-delayed national carbon dioxide registry which allows the Balkan country to launch trade in greenhouse gas emissions, an environment ministry official said on Monday. The launch was possible after the European Union executive approved last week Bulgaria’s national plan that allocated a total of 42.3 million tonnes of CO2 permits to [...]

The first evidence that millions of tons of a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere from beneath the Arctic seabed has been discovered by scientists. Underground stores of methane are important because scientists believe their sudden release has in the past been responsible for rapid increases [...]

Trapping and burying carbon dioxide from power plants could become viable without public funding by 2030, helping nations reduce their dependence on energy imports and meet climate goals, a report said on Monday. But that could happen only if obstacles to the technology are removed and polluters are forced to pay more to emit CO2 [...]

Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the next 12 years ultimately will benefit California’s economy and save its residents money, according to a report released Wednesday by state air regulators. The study, released Wednesday by the state Air Resources Board, predicts the results of a series of proposed measures requiring energy savings by 2020, [...]

A study in the scientific journal Conservation Letters suggest that if kangaroos were reared in place of sheep and cattle, the world’s carbon gas emissions would fall. The math goes like this. Australia is trying to figure out how to cut its emissions of greenhouse gases without crippling the economy. Cattle and sheep, by grace [...]
