Duke Energy’s large-scale Edwardsport IGCC project may well end up being the biggest construction project in Indiana history. When it opens in 2012, the facility will make history as the largest in the world to use integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technology to produce electricity while reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

EnviroMission, Ltd. (www.enviromission.com.au; US Stock Market symbol: EVOMY, Australian Stock Exchange symbol: EVM) is a renewable energy developer of sustainable “green” energy solutions for the energy market. EnviroMission aims to be one of Australia’s leading producers of clean renewable energy. EnviroMission holds the proprietary rights to Solar Tower technology, a large-scale renewable energy technology based on simple fundamentals of physics — hot air rises. Solar Tower technology has the potential to offer competitive renewable energy with equal reliability to fossil fuel generators.

A single 200MW Solar Tower power station will provide enough electricity to power around 400,000 households. The energy output will represent an annual saving of more than 1,960,000 tonnes of greenhouse CO2 gases from entering the environment when compared to brown coal emissions in Victoria. The greenhouse savings equate to the removal of approximately 500,000 cars from the road. The Australian Solar Tower project consists of six distinct phases, the first two of which (project optimization and pre-feasibility commercialization) have already been completed. The third phase (final feasibility), paving the way for the implementation of the next three phases (final design, construction, and commercial operation).

Everyone contributes to carbon dioxide emissions, but some more than others. Reducing global CO2 emissions requires that we have a good understanding of the current picture. Serious progress can be made if we develop a renewable source of electricity that is cheaper than coal.

This short film shows how energy use in your home creates CO2 emissions, and how we can all reduce our emissions to help tackle climate change.

Description of the film (transcript)

Open on an out of focus red flickering light that fills most of the screen. The camera pulls back and focuses to reveal the flickering light charger. The charger seems to pulse as if there is an internal energy trying to burst out.

The camera pulls back further and then takes off on a journey around a modern home picking up examples of energy wastage in the home.

We see it pass through the kitchen, then through a utility room and past the washing machine. As the camera finds all of these examples of energy wastage, each appliance appears to pulse with an internal energy trying to escape.

The camera passes through the living room and finds a TV then it moves and finds the flame of the boiler, then follows to the boiler and a hot tap leaking out hot water. It continues through a bedroom where more appliances are throbbing with energy. Then it goes through another bedroom, looks like a child’s with TV and computer console on.

Then the camera pans through the house and see various other switches left on and the heating, then follows the energy stream as it first journeys through some circuit boards and then joins the electricity main, which leads from the house.
Voice over:

‘Energy-dependent home appliances are part of our modern way of life. Most of the energy they use comes from burning gas, oil and coal, which emit carbon dioxide - CO2 - into the atmosphere, changing the planet’s climate.’

The camera cuts higher and higher as we see each street and then each district of a town combine their energy streams and one stream shoots off across the countryside until we reach a power station where (animated) CO2 is belching in to the atmosphere.
Voice over:

‘We also waste large amounts of energy unnecessarily, which only increases CO2 emissions affecting the climate even further.’

The camera keeps going higher revealing eventually seeing the Earth from space. But instead of the beautiful, blue planet we are used to seeing it is enveloped in (animated) CO2 making it take on a ‘reddish’ hue. The Earth almost seems to pulse as all the appliances have before it.

The ‘reddish’ Earth mixes through to the flickering red light of the charger in the opening shot. As the camera pulls back again, a hand reaches in and turns off the switch.
Voice over:

‘We are now producing more C02 than the world can cope with.’

We then see a series of shots as the energy wastage shown in the first sequence is dealt with. As each appliance is dealt with it stops pulsing.

Series of shots: TV being switched off, plug socket switched off, tap turned off to stop the leaking hot water, heating turned down, mobile phone charger being switched off - we then see energy efficient light bulb, loft installation, street scene.
Voice over:

‘We can only tackle climate change, if we all act, now — together — by using and wasting less energy and therefore, reduce the CO2 emissions we are each responsible for.’

We end to see parents walking their children and cyclists on the street with no cars. We track past solar panels on the roofs of houses and see the wind turbines in the background. Ends with earth from space back to the way we are used to seeing it - as a beautiful, blue planet.

A new high-resolution, interactive map of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels is now available on Google Earth.
With a few clicks on Google Earth, anyone can now view pollution from factories, power plants, roadways, and residential and commercial areas for their state, county or per capita. Individuals also can easily see how their county compares to others across the nation.

A new, high resolution, interactive map of United States carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels has found that the emissions aren’t all where we thought. The maps and system, called Vulcan, show CO2 emissions at more than 100 times more detail than was available before. Until now, data on carbon dioxide emissions were reported, in the best cases, monthly at the level of an entire state grid. The Vulcan model examines CO2 emissions at local levels on an hourly basis. Purdue researchers say the maps are also more accurate than previous data because they are based on greenhouse gas emissions instead of estimates based on population in areas of the United States.
