Representatives of 198 countries meeting recently in Port Ghalib, Egypt were unable to agree on the phasing out of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). HFCs in some circles are known as “super” greenhouse gases (GHG) because they have a global warming impact that is far greater than that of CO2. Increased use of HFCs in developing countries could counter the effects of current international efforts to curb CO2 emissions by 2050, some experts say....http://www.chemweek.com/envirotech/regulatory/climatechange/International-HFC-Phase-Out-Negotiations-Falter_22923.html November 9, 2009

EPA’s proposed rule to mandate greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions from large stationary sources is another step toward what industry, officials and lawmakers say they would most like to avoid: the regulation of GHG emissions under the Clean Air Act. EPA’s rule comes as senators delayed for several weeks its deliberations on climate legislation to give EPA time to submit a cost estimate and analysis of the bill....http://www.chemweek.com/envirotech/regulatory/climatechange/EPA-Moves-to-Regulate-Facility-GHGs-Using-Existing-Authority_22007.html September 28, 2009
A recent ruling by the European judicial authorities has rejected a claim by the European Commission that sought to limit the amount of emissions allowances that member state governments can give to vital industries under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS)....http://www.chemweek.com/envirotech/regulatory/climatechange/European-Ruling-on-Allowance-Allocation-Exposes-Fissure-in-Emission-Trading-System_21702.html September 28, 2009
A “confluence of events”—including heated debate in Congress over health care reform, the lackluster economy, and the complexity of a cap-and-trade bill—has made it increasingly unlikely that the U.S. will advance climate legislation this year, says ACC president and CEO Cal Dooley....http://www.chemweek.com/envirotech/regulatory/climatechange/Action-on-U-S-Climate-Bill-Unlikely-this-Year_21692.html September 28, 2009

Many U.S. chemical companies currently participate in carbon reporting initiatives, such as ACC's Responsible Care program and The Climate Registry, but the rules are about to undergo a fundamental shift. EPA will soon finalize its greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting rule, a first step towards GHG reduction mandates, and industry is preparing for a set of requirements far more complex than current reporting initiatives....http://www.chemweek.com/envirotech/regulatory/climatechange/Current-Initiatives-Will-Not-Suffice-to-Comply-with-EPAs-GHG-Reporting-Rule_21346.html September 17, 2009
