We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Climate Change",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Biofuel markets are booming worldwide from
Helmut Kaiser Consultancy, which we summarised at the time by saying "More than 2000 biofuel plants exist in 2007 worldwide, with USD8.5billion worth of investments have been made in biofuel plants, and there will be high growth to 2025".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release AK expands CO2 capturing business from
Aker Kvaerner Engineering Services: "Aker Kvaerner has transfered the Just Catch technology for CO2 capture to the company 'Aker Clean Carbon', which will focus on developing CO2 capture projects".
In January 2008, we covered the news from IChemE (Institution of Chemical Engineers)
- take a look at Chemical engineering success for UK Universities
which says: "Universities in the UK are celebrating a record intake of chemical engineering undergraduate students, following the publication of the UCAS 2007 admission figures".
Take a look also at the news release from Technology Strategy Board, GBP10M for low carbon energy technology research,
as well as Call for UN framework to tackle climate change from Editorial Articles: Miscellaneous submissions,
and Cooperation on the capture and storage of CO2 from Det Norske Veritas (DNV).
