Emissions

Multiple solutions will be required to meet energy demand and curtail greenhouse gas emissions that will result from population growth and economic expansion, Exxon Mobil Corp. said in its “Outlook for Energy: A View to 2030,” the latest iteration of the annual report. Fossil fuels will retain their primacy among energy sources, but nuclear power and renewable energy will take a growing slice of the pie.

Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA) last Wednesday unveiled legislation that offers a cap-and-invest system to reduce heat-trapping greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States.

In the long term North America will be the dominant liquefied natural gas (LNG) market, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions control will increase demand and price pressures on gas, and end-use customers for both electricity and natural gas utilities will face ever-larger rate increases, a panel of U.S. utility executives said last Tuesday at the Goldman Sachs Eighth Annual Power and Utility Conference in New York City.

California’s complicated five-year transition to a cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions recently hit a political snag that caused some environmental groups to question the motives of Gov. Arnold Schwarzengger’s administration. A political shakeup at the state agency charged with implementing the system surfaced July 2, but the governor’s team quickly rallied and at least one major environmental group on Friday reasserted its strong support for Schwarzenegger.

Swinging its support behind the federal action to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the American Gas Association (AGA) said last week that policymakers must provide energy utilities with the opportunity to make greater use of domestic resources to “make meaningful advances in addressing climate change.”

Baltimore Gas & Electric expects to see a 65% reduction innitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions this summer as a result of a new gasreburn system installed on two of its coal-fired electricgeneration boilers and the Gas Research Institute is taking credit.
