emmission control in power plants

The growth in China’s CO2 emissions is far outpacing previous estimates, making the goal of stabilizing atmospheric greenhouse gases even more difficult, according to a new analysis by economists at the University of California, Berkeley and UC San Diego. The study is scheduled for print publication in the May issue of the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management.

As the beginning of the second trading period for the EU Emissions Trading Scheme approaches, the European Commission has completed the assessment and approved the proposed national plans for allocating carbon dioxide (CO2) emission allowances of the original 25 member states, as well as those of Bulgaria and Romania.

Power plants and other industrial facilities
are covered by the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU
ETS) designed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions.
