E.ON advocates uniform global carbon trading with a phased auctioning scheme
| Sourced From |
For E.ON, a uniform global carbon trading system and carbon pricing mechanism is the most powerful and market-oriented tool for effective climate protection. ‘If a climate agreement was to help us come closer to establishing a single carbon market, then that would be a huge success for the Copenhagen Climate Conference,’ said E.ON CEO Wulf Bernotat. Prerequisites would be clear emission caps, a common carbon trading system and a phased scheme for auctioning carbon allowances that is equally applicable to all industrialised countries and emerging economies as well as all major greenhouse gas-emitting sectors of industry. Bernotat: ‘A uniform global carbon pricing system would allow efficient technologies to reduce carbon emissions where they achieve maximum benefits for the climate. Investment in climate protection should be as effective as possible; in other words, we have to succeed in achieving the maximum in terms of CO2 avoidance for each Euro or dollar spent.’
Carbon Capture and Storage Gets First Try-Outs Around the World

In large industrial experiments across the globe, factories and power plants are trying to capture the carbon dioxide that streams out of their flues in order to bury it deep underground. Researchers believe the greenhouse gas will stay put for thousands of years and therefore wont contribute to global warming, but the costs and long-term effects of the procedure are still unclear. The experiments currently underway are expected to determine whether carbon capture and storage will allow nations to continue burning fossil fuels for energy without ill effects.
