Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the domestic oil and natural gas industry declined by more than 48 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2007 and 2008, a reduction comparable to taking 9.7 million cars off the roads, according to the results of a new study sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute (API).

UN Agency: GHG Concentrations Peaked Last Year
Last year global concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide — the main long-lived greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere — reached the highest levels recorded since pre-industrial times, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an agency of the United Nations (UN).

IEA: CO2 Capture Not Just for Coal
Capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants and industrial sources on a commercial scale with 100 projects worldwide by 2020 and 3,000 projects by 2050 will require trillions of dollars of investment, according to a report released last Tuesday by the International Energy Agency (IEA) at the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum Ministerial in London.
