Carbon Sequestration – Balancing Property Rights and the Public Good. Carbon sequestration is the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2).
This is the process of carbon capture and storage, where carbon dioxide is removed from flue gases, such as on power stations, before being stored in underground reservoirs. There are also natural sequestration processes such as the ocean. Carbon sequestration describes long-term storage of carbon dioxide or other forms of carbon to either mitigate or defer global warming. It has been proposed as a way to slow the atmospheric and marine accumulation of greenhouse gases, which are released by burning fossil fuels.

The BASIC quartet - Brazil, South Africa, India and China - have sent out the message that agreeing on the second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol is “the central priority “for the year-end climate change meet at Durban, South Africa.
At the recent BASIC ministerial meet at Inhotim in Brazil, the quartet stressed that a failure to resolve the Kyoto issue would “generate a challenge to multilateralism and would undermine the rules-based multilateral response to climate change under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.” However, the four emerging economies gave no indication about their position on the contentious issue of a legal outcome for the Bali track of negotiations. This is a key demand of small island states and African countries. In the past, the BASIC has always sought to reach out to these countries as part of its effort present a unified position for all developing countries.

Join The Rebellion – Fight CO2 « Australians want snap election over carbon tax: poll. Scientists query ground storage. New Zealand eyeing position as regional carbon trading hub. New Zealand, the first nation outside Europe to set up a carbon-trading scheme, hopes to become a trading hub for the region as neighboring Australia and other countries move toward market-based schemes for cutting carbon emissions.
New Zealand has been running an expanded carbon market for more than a year, with polluters buying emission permits on an open exchange, and is now well ahead of its closest neighbor in gaining the skills and knowledge needed to manage such a complex market. “There’s a high level of interest internationally in the New Zealand scheme,” New Zealand Climate Change Issues Minister Nick Smith told Reuters in a recent interview. “Particularly around the model we’ve chosen and around the issue of dealing with trade-exposed industries, and dealing with the issue of intensity-based allocations.” Combien de CO2 pèsent un mail, une requête Web et une clé USB.

Les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) contribuent ainsi à hauteur de 2 % aux émissions européennes de gaz à effet de serre, selon un rapport de septembre 2008 réalisé par l'agence d'évaluation environnementale BIO Intelligence service pour la Commission européenne. Ce chiffre devrait doubler d’ici 2020, si nous ne changeons pas nos modes de vie.

Carbon Markets Take Flight (In Europe) At a time when many are adopting the narrative that carbon markets are faltering, the European Union (EU) is aggressively pursuing the expansion of theirs to include aviation.
One of only two mandatory greenhouse gas (GHG) cap-and-trade systems in the world, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) plans to fold in a new sector beginning in January 2012. Our research shows reducing GHG emissions from aviation is critical if we are to mitigate the impacts of global climate change.
