Renewable Technologies and Carbon Cycling: Fueling the Debate

November 3-4, 2010, Syracuse, NY

Many researchers and scientists have projected that we will double our carbon emissions worldwide by 2050. The negative effects this will have on our environment have raised significant concerns in the public and private sector in response to carbon emissions and climate change, coupled with fossil fuels and renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar. These following points “fuel” the debate:

• Not all renewable energy sources (e.g. wind vs. biomass) displace the same fossil fuels in regards to CO2 emissions. 
• Not all fossil fuels produce the same level of pollution (coal power plants produce more CO2 than natural gas.)

Join SUNY ESF and its partners on Thursday, November 4th for presentations and debate about carbon cycling and renewable technologies from a production, policy and viability perspective. Participants are also invited to come the prior evening, November 3rd, for panel discussions at the SU Whitman School of Management on renewable technologies.

$25.00 registration fee includes both days and breakfast and lunch on Thursday.

The program is sponsored by The Sustainable Enterprise Project (SEP), a collaborative group led by SUNY-ESF, the Whitman School of Management (SU), and the Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Innovations. The SURE program is supported, in part, by a NYS Department of Labor grant in partnership with CNY Works.

Registration is now open at www.esf.edu/outreach/sure/2010/

Two universities in New York State receive funding for research in carbon capture/storage

Cornell University and the University of Buffalo have been awarded $1.3 million from the Department of Energy, as well as $250,000 from NYSERDA to study the potential of sequestering greenhouse gas emissions from power plants in underground eastern shale formations. The funding comes as part of a federal initiative to develop technologies for the safe/economical storage of Carbon Dioxide in rock formations. The project was among 14 others nationwide, selected by the federal government to assure our position as a world leader in carbon capture and storage technologies.

New map of NYC to provide essential solar/flood data

A low flying plane equipped with light detection and ranging laser technology has recently made several late night passes over New York City in an effort to create the most detailed map of the city in history. The map is part of Mayor Bloomberg's environmental agenda, PlaNYC and will be used to locate areas that are most prone to coastal flooding, an increasing risk as sea levels rise. In addition, the map will be used to identify buildings best suited for solar photovoltaic panels and neighborhoods in desperate need of trees.  The new map will replace the current flood-plain map which was created in the 1980's and is severely outdated.

The new map will be instrumental in assessing New York City's potential for solar power and will allow for New Yorkers to access solar data for the buildings in which they live and work.

See the New York Times article "With Lasers and Flyovers, a Solar Map of New York" at http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/10/nyregion/10mapping.html for more information.

National Grid identifies opportunity for greenhouse gas reductions and job creation

National Grid has released a study showing that 16% of the natural gas demanded in New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire can be met with renewable gas (bio-methane). Renewable gas is produced through the thermal gasification or anaerobic digestion of biomass such as wood/agricultural residues, solid waste and energy crops.

National Grid identifies a long-term goal of replacing 25% of the demanded natural gas in its four state range with renewable gas. Such a switch has the potential to decrease carbon dioxide emissions by 16 million tons per year, create as many as 9,000 jobs and ensure future energy security through domestic production.
