The University of Edinburgh in Scotland has announced that it will completely divest from all investments in fossil fuels within three years in a move that goes a long way toward achieving the University’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2040.
Wind farms in the United Kingdom are playing a significant role in the reduction and limitation of carbon emissions from other sources of power generation, preventing the creation of almost 36 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions between 2008 and 2014, according to new research from the University of Edinburgh.
Within a fortnight of publicly declaring that it would not completely divest from fossil fuel investments, Scotland’s University of Edinburgh has announced that it intends to divest from three of the world’s biggest fossil fuel producers. Earlier this month, the University of Edinburgh released the results of the Fossil Fuels Review Group, … [continued]
The University of Edinburgh, in Scotland, has taken the middle road in the current global fossil fuel divestment campaign, stating that they do not see their choices limited to “no change” or “pull out of all investments.” In a statement released Tuesday (PDF), the University of Edinburgh has revealed that “the … [continued]
The University of Glasgow in Scotland has taken a page from Stanford and other US colleges. It has become the first EU academic institution to divest fossil fuel holdings. On Wednesday, the university court voted to divest $29 million (£18 million) of investments in the fossil fuel industry and freeze new investments across … [continued]
A new report has found that the number of incidents of wind turbines catching fire are a sizeable issue for the wind industry, and a problem that is not being accurately reported on, with an estimated ten times more fires occurring than are actually being reported. The new report from … [continued]
Carbon emissions are horrifying little things, by which I mean tiny little particles of high octane nightmare fuel. It’s now clear that carbon emissions are linked to heart and lung cancer.
A wind turbine efficiency breakthrough by Dr Markus Mueller and Dr Alasdair McDonald of the University of Edinburgh’s Institute for Energy Systems has the potential to revolutionize the wind energy industry by making large turbines more failure-proof by cutting their weight in half.
