Science Daily reported yesterday that a recent study by researchers at the Nairobi-based World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) and European and Southeast Asian institutions finds that local communities-using simple tools like ropes and sticks-can produce forest carbon data on par with results by professional foresters using high-tech devices.

Container Recycling Rate Not Nearly Good Enough

A new report from the Container Recycling Institute shows U.S. recycling rates for containers are and have been poor. Based on more than 20 data sources, from the beverage market to U.S. census tables, "Bottled Up: Beverage Container Recycling Stagnates (2000-2010)" indicates sales of disposable beverage containers grew 22 percent from 2000-2010, with per capita consumption up 8 percent over that period, but the rate at which we recycled the empty containers fell.

Brown University and the National Science Foundation announced that a group of researchers from the university developed a catalyst from gold nanoparticles that converts carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide, useful in making synthetic natural gas, methanol, and other alternative fuels and commodity chemicals. On a commercial scale, the technique can be a useful tool in eliminating greenhouse gases. They published their results in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Keystone XL Pipeline Derailed?

The New York Times reported yesterday that regardless of President Obama's acceptance or rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline, the oil companies associated with the project are building rail terminals to deliver oil from western Canada to the United States' Gulf Coast, for further export to Asia.
According to the Times, since July, plans have been announced for three large loading terminals in western Canada with the combined capacity of 350,000 barrels a day-equivalent to roughly 40 percent of the capacity of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. Overall, Canada is poised to quadruple its rail-loading capacity over the next few years to as much as 900,000 barrels a day, up from 180,000 today.
