Prinos oil field can capture 3 mln tons of CO2 a year
The Prinos oil field in northern Greece can capture 3 million tons of carbon dioxide a year, three times the amount envisaged in an initial study.
Energean will proceeding with studies on how to expand the field's capture potential. This was decided at a meeting in Athens, where managers from Energean, EnEarth and Halliburton, one of the largest global advisers of energy firms.
Scientists identify greenhouse gases which could signal an inhabited planet
While we have yet to identify life on any other planet or anywhere else in space, a new study has revealed the telltale signs which could indicate a planet being inhabited.
Climate-warming gases being smuggled into Europe, investigation says
Large amounts of climate-warming refrigerant gases from China and Turkey are being smuggled illegally into Europe, undermining a global pact to phase them out, a report by the London-based Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) said on Monday.
Exoplanet water-detection strategy now possible, say researchers

Undersea graveyard for CO2 opens in Denmark
Denmark inaugurated yesterday a project to store carbon dioxide 1,800 meters beneath the North Sea, the first country in the world to bury CO2 imported from abroad.
The CO2 graveyard, where the carbon is injected to prevent further warming of the atmosphere, is on the site of an old oil field.

UN says ozone layer slowly healing, hole to mend by 2066
Earth's protective ozone layer is slowly but noticeably healing at a pace that would fully mend the hole over Antarctica in about 43 years, a new United Nations report says.
Europe plan for floating gas terminals raises climate fears
As winter nears, European nations, desperate to replace the natural gas they once bought from Russia, have embraced a short-term fix: A series of roughly 20 floating terminals that would receive liquefied natural gas from other countries and convert it into heating fuel.
