Greenhouse gases hit new record highs in 2023: UN

Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere reached new record highs in 2023, locking in future temperature increases for years to come, the United Nations warned on Monday.

Levels of the three main greenhouse gases, the climate-warming carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, all increased yet again last year, the U.N.'s weather and climate agency said.

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.

High hopes for carbon capture, underground storage

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to store underground "sounds too good to be true", a climate expert told AFP, yet the technology to increase its capacity tenfold is already being tested.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recognises carbon capture and storage among the solutions for eliminating CO2, without giving it a central place in its models.

Horrible weather is expected, even in Serbia; all recent storms will seem "pleasant"

Mr. urevi, who is also a regular professor at the Faculty of Physics in Belgrade, said in an interview with Blic that he is not surprised by this fact, along with numerous researchers worldwide who have been studying climate changes for decades and who know that we inevitably expect such an outcome.
