Is transformation possible? Towards a low carbon economy
This article examines some of the themes emerging from the UNFCCC convention just held in Montreal. Negotiations will continue for the period beyond
2012--perhaps even with full US participation sooner or later--so coming up on the international climate change agenda will be more discussion, and some
dissent, on carbon trading markets, on renewables, new technology, and other very necessary moves towards the low-carbon economy.
The Montreal Convention was one as much for business as environmentalists, and no meaningful progress seems possible without their mutual
cooperation

Removing CO2 from the Source
Greenhouse gas (GHG) levels have been rising in the atmosphere dramatically since the beginning of the industrial revolution and particularly since post-WWII. Of these carbon dioxide is the most important. Global climate change is a major and critical consequence of increasing GHGs. The CO2 increase is driven by burning hydrocarbons as a fuel source. To minimize this impact it is necessary to capture CO2 as well as other GHG. Several strategies are discussed including pre-combustion, enhanced combustion and post-combustion approaches. No technology currently available is economic enough to gain wide implementation. Carbozyme is working on a new, high efficiency, ultra-low cost CO2 capture technology that may satisfy the price/performance requirements.

A novel renewable energy solution to energy pollution
Geomagmatic technology differs from geothermal technology in that geothermal technology requires water and steam or steam under pressure for a geothermal project to take place. The word geomagmatic is not yet found in the dictionary. Additionally, geomagmatic technology requires that the installation of a geomagmatic device be calibrated in accordance with the resource available. The resource available is selected in gigawatts per cubic kilometer or (GW/Km3) The resource must always be supported by a continual reservoir of magmatic material that recharges the resource, as in the Ring of Fire. A geothermal resource needs to be developed and a rate of steam production determined. This requires two perforations as a rule. One to send millions of gallons of water down to a underground heat source and the other to return it in the form of steam to the turbines on the surface. Power Tube uses one perforation and an assembly plant manufactured unit. Therefore it can be said that a geothermal plant is always a prototype, that is why it is so costly, while a Power Tube relies only on the depth of the heat source, and the added length of the thermal riser.
