Initial field observations indicate that a dramatic rise in the surface temperature in Indonesian waters has resulted in a large-scale bleaching event that has devastated coral populations.

A brownfield site is set to be transformed into the UK's first geothermal power plant after getting planning permission. Managing director of Geothermal Engineering, Ryan Law, said: "With the development of our plant we want to make deep geothermal energy a significant contributor to the UK's energy portfolio. "The Department of Energy and Climate Change has already estimated that deep geothermal technology could supply between one and five GW of baseload, renewable electricity by 2030."

LONDON (Reuters) - New UK coal-fired power plants will need to fit carbon removing technology to comply with the upcoming Emission Performance Standard (EPS), energy and climate change secretary Chris Huhne said on Monday.

A new study suggests declining tree growth in certain regions may hinder their ability to store carbon dioxide and help the world meet emissions reduction targets.

Bright Automotive, spun off from Rocky Mountain Institute in 2008, now has bragging rights as the first investment of GM Ventures, LLC. The $5 million investment by the auto giant couldn’t have come at a better time, providing a solid shot in the arm to drive the company’s 100-mpg plug-in hybrid electric fleet vehicle, the IDEA, into mass production.
