Lately, I’ve noted that the market for carbon accounting software is still very young, and remains wide open to new vendors and complementary solutions that track energy use in a more real-time way. Now a recent study from Groom Energy Solutions, a consulting firm, and Greentech Media, a media company, confirm the nascent but blossoming nature of this market.

Options being developed globally include the biochemical conversion of CO2 into algal biofuel, the thermochemical conversion into methanol and the biocatalytic or solar photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to fuels.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is being hailed as the answer to the globe’s most pressing question: what to do with the 27 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emitted yearly from the burning of fossil fuels? Touted as the most promising interim solution to deal with the greenhouse gas responsible for global warming, CCS still remains unproven, costly and will not be commercially available for another 10-20 years. Meanwhile scientists are exploring alternatives to CCS by capitalizing on CO2 as a commodity instead of treating it as a waste.

As we all recognize, our environment is in danger, our climate at risk, and the health of our Earth perilous. We must take steps to remedy this situation for our children and grandchildren.
In many ways, no issue could be more important, more imperative, or timelier. We are at a crossroads. If we do not take stewardship of our Earth and all vitality on it, we may never again have the opportunity. We owe it to our children and grandchildren.

The U.S. is playing catch-up to the rest of the world in terms of controlling carbon emissions. With the infant science of indirect land use change looming over all renewable fuels production, what will a carbon cap-and-trade system mean for the biodiesel industry?
In April, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency took the first step in regulating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by formally acknowledging that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are a danger to “public health and welfare.” CO2 will now be tracked and monitored by the Clean Air Act. Increasing energy security and decreasing emissions that lead to climate change are the main motivators for escalating interest in regulation of GHG emissions. CO2 emitted from burning fossil fuels has been singled out as one of the top GHG contributors to global warming.

SAN FRANCISCO -(Dow Jones)- Chevron Corp.’s (CVX) top executive said Wednesday that while he agrees emissions of heat-trapping gases need to be cut to protect the environment, the U.S. is unlikely to cut such emissions by more than 25% in the next 40 years – much less than the 80% proposed by President Barack Obama.

BONN, Germany (AP) — Japan unveiled a new target Wednesday for reducing greenhouse gas emissions 15 percent by 2020, but the plan was slammed by environmentalists and the U.N. climate chief as leaving the industrial world dangerously short of its pollution goals.
Prime Minister Taro Aso said in Tokyo the plan was ambitious and in line with efforts by the United States and Europe to trim carbon emissions over the next decade. He said Japan calculated its target on a 2005 base year — but environmentalists said that move was designed to deliberately mask the real effect of the Japanese cut.
