Customers can then follow a quick link to make financial contributions to environmental projects designed to offset their individual carbon footprint. The available programs are focused on forest protection in the US, hydropower in Vietnam, solar energy in Mexico, and habitat preservation in Zimbabwe.

used a mechanistic multi-layer canopy-root-soil model to (i) capture the eco-physiological acclimations of bioenergy crops under climate change, and (ii) predict how hydrologic fluxes are likely to be altered from their current magnitudes. The Vietnam Education Foundation also supported the research. Phong et al. 1107177108.

A new study finds that the growth of carbon production from Chinese exports has slowed or reversed, reflecting a “new phase of globalization” between developing countries that could undermine international efforts to reduce emissions. The paper is published in Nature Communications. —Prof Guan.

Prof Dabo Guan, professor of climate change economics at the University of East Anglia (UEA), led the research, along with Dr Yuli Shan from UEA’s School of International Development. Rather than creating low-carbon pathways at a national level, we need a pathway for each city. —Prof Guan.

Even if the current Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are fully implemented, the carbon budget for limiting global warming to below 2 ˚C will be about 80% depleted by 2030. Given currently available carbon budget estimates, the available global carbon budget for 1.5 ˚C C will already be well depleted by 2030.

Swan Hills Synfuels expects the project to demonstrate the ability to manufacture synthetic gas from Alberta’s coal resources, with the future potential of utilizing the coal seams for carbon capture and storage. The deep formations could also store carbon dioxide after the coal is turned into gas. Linc Update in Australia.
