Sarah Boyack (Labour) asked why Scotland is falling behind the rest of the UK on the Kyoto greenhouse gas emission targets.
Cellulosic ethanol uses non-food feed stocks with significant greenhouse gas emission reductions, and the first commercial-scale plant is being built today in Soperton, Ga.
But for the CDM to provide that link, countries will have to reduce their greenhouse-gas emission targets drastically, thus providing a boost to demand.
However, in order to meet European Union greenhouse gas emission standards, Poland is planning to switch a substantial part of its electricity production from coal to natural gas.
History suggests that such a perception is an invitation to aggression, making war more likely and adding further, albeit utterly unquantifiable costs to the potential bill associated with greenhouse gas emission control regimes.
At the annual meeting of the Carbon Disclosure Project--a non-profit investor organization devoted to greater transparency in greenhouse gas emission statistics--Sun released a set of open-source software tools that companies can use to track carbon emissions.
The company also has a program, called Exelon 2020, that will make Exelon's operations more efficient and lower the company's carbon footprint by more than 15 million metric tons in greenhouse gas emission each year by 2020.
And earlier this month, Airbus, in association with Shell, Rolls Royce and Qatar Airways, began a research project to test 'Gas to Liquid' (GTL) technologies that convert lower-emission natural gas and other synthetic fuels into liquid kerosene.
What would such levels imply in terms of greenhouse gas stabilisation concentrations and emission pathways required to achieve such levels?

So, a hydrogen fuel-cell car even running ... on hydrogen derived from natural gas cuts that carbon emission by 60%.
Greenhouse gas (carbon) emission for these vehicles also must fall by 34 percent from the 2016 levels by 2025, according to the California Air Resources Board.
FORBES: California Sets New Rules To Boost Zero-Emission Car Sales
An executive order signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) in June 2005 established short- and long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduce targets for California: to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
FORBES: How Will California Slash Greenhouse Gas Emissions 80% By 2050?
According to Tomsick, the radio emission from the gas and dust surrounding the star make those pulses more difficult to read.

The EPA is saying with a straight face that natural gas combined cycle is an emission reduction system that has been adequately demonstrated for coal power plants.
FORBES: Why You Should Care That Courts Overturn EPA's Carbon Pollution Standard
Even if the electric car is driven for 90, 000 miles and the owner stays away from coal-powered electricity, the car will cause just 24% less carbon-dioxide emission than its gas-powered cousin.
Stacking up the numbers, he realised that human activities were adding CO2 to the atmosphere in a quantity and rate equivalent to all natural processes of absorption or emission of the gas.
The standards for new plants explicitly refer to natural gas as a "system of emission reduction, " when in fact it is a system of emission generation.
But natural gas combined cycle is not a system of emission reduction.
FORBES: Why You Should Care That Courts Overturn EPA's Carbon Pollution Standard
Poland says the EU's distribution of CO2 emission permits is unfair because it uses gas-based benchmarks.
Supporters of nuclear power say reactors provide reliable, zero-carbon-emission energy the country needs to avoid dependency on natural gas.
FORBES: Editors Rebel Against Ratepayer Financing For Nuclear Plants
The scheme named the Captain Clean Energy Project, would see the creation of a new 570MW "low emission" coal power station with CO2 pumped into storage in offshore depleted gas fields.
