A 174-page study issued by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in June 2011 evaluating natural gas and how it fares as an energy source in a political environment where carbon is taxed. That is, how competitive is natural gas when considering lower carbon emissions standards? The study finds, among other things, that hydraulic fracturing technology as used in shale gas drilling is safe.

The original project idea was to analyze how climate change was treated in the energy generation related EIS, however, the study focused to study the future of energy generation in the U.S. based on the EISs that have been submitted and “approved” by EPA in the last 20 years.

Renewable energy not in the news 04092020 finalTony Green
Considering climate change, the Green New Deal, the upcoming presidential election, and now the outbreak of the Coronavirus there has little news about renewable energy. While not in the headlines Renewable Energy technologies had been quietly added, slowly but surely moving to a world which produces its energy without fossil fuels. But adoption is not guaranteed, and certain things need to happen before the renewable energy future which has been promised can become a reality.
Webinar: Proposed government–provided incentives to promote the capture and u...Global CCS Institute
It is widely recognised that additional large–scale early mover projects are needed to advance CCS/CCUS. These projects will reduce CCS cost through ‘learning by doing’ and by serving as platforms to demonstrate emerging lower-cost technologies. They will also increase public confidence in the safety and efficacy of CCS. However, high capture costs and lack of incentives are discouraging new large–scale projects from entering the planning pipeline and making it difficult for existing projects to reach a financial investment decision.
The National Enhanced Oil Recovery Initiative (NEORI) and the Coal Utilization Research Council (CURC) have each developed concepts for incentivising large–scale projects through a tax credit tied to the use of captured CO2 for enhanced oil recovery. Both organisations estimate that the government would recover its credit investment within 10 years from tax and royalty revenue received on additional oil production, and that the investment would become revenue positive for the government thereafter.
A Global CCS Institute webinar was held on Wednesday 26th June where Patrick Falwell, Solutions Fellow for the Centre for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), on behalf of Judi Greenwald, Vice President for Technology and Innovation at the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), discussed the NEORI concept. Patrick was joined by Ben Yamagata, Executive Director of CURC, who discussed the CURC concept.

Energy Efficiency and Economic Recovery: Stimulus Funding OpportunitiesAlliance To Save Energy
February 2. 2009 -- Policy makers and others have come to understand the power of energy efficiency implementation as an economic development tool and stimulus. The result is likely billions in clean energy investments by the federal government that will be utilized by state and local governments, non-profit energy organizations, and others. In her presentation, Kateri focused on the efforts of the Alliance to Save Energy and others to grow energy efficiency implementation programs – buildings, products, and services – and deliver greater economic vitality to the nation.
