Winners revealed in 12th annual Environmental Finance market surveyDecember 14, 2011
Environmental Finance and Carbon Finance have named the winners in their 12th annual market survey.

"With California and Australia both passing regulations to establish carbon markets, the concept is once more on the march."
The survey – the most closely watched poll of sentiment across carbon, renewable energy, weather risk and US emissions markets – reveals those firms that their clients, peers and competitors have judged to have provided the best service over the previous twelve months. Read More...

Managing Methane - World Coal, May 2010
Jayne Somers, US Environmental Protection Agency, and
Michael Cote, Ruby Canyon Engineering, US, discuss new
developments with coal mine methane projects in the US. Methane is a powerful
greenhouse gas (GHG), with
a global warming potential
21 times that of carbon
dioxide (CO2) over a 100 year period. The
term coal mine methane (CMM) refers to
methane that is released or captured in
advance of, during, or following physical
coal mining activities at either surface or
underground mines. The release of CMM
from active and abandoned mining
operations is a major source of GHG
emissions. Globally, CMM accounts for
approximately 6% of anthropogenic
methane emissions.1 In 2005, CMM
emissions accounted for about 30 billion m3
(400 million t) of CO2 equivalents (CO2e). By
2020, CMM emissions are expected to
increase by 12% over 2005 emissions. Read More...
