Study claims biofuels could actually increase greenhouse gases. Two new studies published in Science magazine claim that biofuels use could actually increase the amount of greenhouse gases in our planet’s atmosphere.. Washington DC – Two new studies published in Science magazine claim that biofuels use could actually increase the amount of greenhouse gases in our planet’s atmosphere. Corn and palm oil-based ethanol had been touted by scientists as potentially reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% versus petroleum. Previous research had also claimed that a switch to biofuels would lead to a net 20% reduction in CO2 and other greenhouse gases (when you take into account the energy needed to produce the crops)....

It’s somewhat interesting that such a steward for green technology would come from a company that exists almost exclusively in the digital world, and really has no reason to worry about greenhouse gas emissions. Google says the CSCI program, which would mandate a "90% efficiency" requirement, would cut energy costs by $5.5 billion per year, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 54 million tons. By 2010, the organization says it will be able to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions so much that it would be equivalent to shutting down 20 mid-sized coal power plants....

San Francisco (CA) - A Bay Area air pollution board has voted to levy an annual greenhouse gas tax on area businesses.. San Francisco (CA) - A Bay Area air pollution board has voted to levy an annual greenhouse gas tax on area businesses. The nine-county board said the tax will reimburse the costs for conduction global warming impact studies. 2500 businesses will be charged $1.1 million annually for the amount of carbon dioxide, methane or other greenhouse gasses they pump into the air....

The gasoline expense would be completely diminished while, at the same time, the automobile would be generating no direct CO2 or other greenhouse gases. The power plant would still be generating whatever greenhouse gases it does, of course....

A new study published by the MIT sheds additional light on this scenario and claims that no matter who you are, you are estimated to contribute at least twice and as much as five times as much greenhouse gas to the atmosphere as those living in the rest of the world. What appears to have a substantial impact on greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. is the economical effect of saved energy and its "rebound effect"....

Suncor’s move, which involves having 4,500 of its PCs and laptops powered by the wind, will not only reduce the firm’s greenhouse gas emissions, but also support Pembina’s goal of having 20,000 computers enlisted into the program by year’s end....
