  The study will combine the following technologies for the first time: A chemical process that captures as much as 90% of the carbon dioxide from coal; producing mostly a hydrogen fuel and emitting only 10% of the carbon dioxide emitted by an IGCC plant without carbon capture; burning the hydrogen in a highly efficient, combined-cycle generation system; and sequestering the CO2 in a saline formation or depleted oil field for EOR These technologies will all… [read post]

Katherine Sierra, VP of the World Bank’s Sustainable Development Network, said, "We would be open to the most innovative, lower-carbon technologies — for example, IGCC [integrated combined cycle gasification] power plants — when these are associated with getting a country ready for carbon capture and storage.

’ For instance, nuclear energy is zero-carbon during power plant energy generation, but its carbon life-cycle total is more than zero because carbon is emitted during other activities, from mining uranium ore to disposal of spent fuel. [read post]

It suggests that nuclear power using today’s reactor technology with a once-through fuel cycle can play a significant part in displacing the world’s carbon-emitting fossil-fuel plants and thus help to reduce the potential for global climate change. [read post]

 Although the impact of black carbon on global warming is still secondary to that of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, Professor Alain Plante in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania described black carbon emissions as “taking fossilized carbon – which normally cycles in millions of years – and moving it into the much faster moving pool of the atmosphere.
