Svalbard Fjord Absorbs More Greenhouse Gases Than It Emits A new study shows that the Kongsfjord in Svalbard absorbs more greenhouse gases and nutrients than it emits. Researchers believe the Arctic fjord can provide important answers to how nature itself contributes to stall climate change.
New Lifecycle Assessment for Greenhouse Gases from LNG Spells Bad News for Emissions from Arctic Projects Liquefied natural gas may not be as clean as previously thought, a new study finds. While liquefied gas is often heralded as a less dirty alternative to coal, its lifetime emissions exceed those from coal, the new data suggest. The report gives special emphasis to methane emissions from the transport of liquefied natural gas, a finding relevant to Arctic LNG projects.

Environmental Group Warns EU About to Remove Black Carbon From Maritime Regulation The EU Council could remove mentions of black carbon emissions in the Arctic from the EU’s maritime regulation this week. Environmental activists warn that black carbon is detrimental to Arctic sea ice and needs to be curbed quickly and decisively.
IMO Again Fails to Act on Black Carbon Emissions in Arctic As Arctic shipping continues to increase so do emissions from maritime transport. Over the past five years black carbon emissions in the Arctic have more than doubled. Hopes to establish binding regulations to reduce this type of pollutant contributing to global warming were dashed this week.

Liquefied Natural Gas Not the Solution to Cleaning up International Shipping Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping may have hit a roadblock. A new study suggests that using LNG, long seen as a less-dirty alternative, may in fact cause more emissions than using traditional marine fuels.
IMO Mandate For Low Sulphur Fuel Results in High Black Carbon Emissions Endangering Arctic In an effort to reduce sulphur emissions in marine transport new rules require a switch from heavy fuel oil to very low sulphur fuel oil. Now scientists and environmentalists are sounding the alarm as this new type of fuel can unexpectedly result in high levels of black carbon – a pollutant especially harmful to the Arctic environment.
