A plan to keep carbon in check

Article Abstract:

Developed nations and developing nations have to cut their emissions in order to hold global emissions constant while the world's economy continues to grow. Two long term trends, namely, development of sectors such as banking, insurance, education that are not energy-intensive and a shift in the pattern of technology, where there is a substitution of cleverness for energy, are sure to help reduce carbon emission.

An efficient solution: Wasting less energy is the quickest, least expensive way to stem carbon emissions

Article Abstract:

The conversion of energy into forms used in human activities results in two-thirds of the energy lost and most of it comes from carbon-emitting fossil fuels. In order to reduce carbon emissions, avoiding as many of these losses as possible is the quickest and easiest way along with improving the energy efficiency of buildings, appliances and industrial processes.

Blue-green acres

Article Abstract:

David Bayless, director of Ohio Coal Research Center of the Ohio University, has introduced a scalable box packed with photosynthesizing cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). These photosynthesizing bacteria are useful for eliminating the carbon dioxide produced by coal-burning power plants.
