A 20-year power purchase agreement is planned for the new Kosovo C lignite power plant. How will Kosovo avoid having to recover the money later?
Coal subsidies are risky for public budgets, consumers and investors, but they're often illegal too.
The Energy Community countries – the Western Balkans, Ukraine and Moldova - are bound by EU state aid rules. Failure to follow them will cost them dearly if the aid has to be recovered.

Huda Ashfaq, a junior at West Virginia University, is working as a Mickey Leland Energy Fellow this summer with mentor Todd Gardner to develop and test novel nanostructured catalyst materials in NETL-Morgantown’s Nano-Particle Technology laboratory. The Nano-Particle Technology laboratory was developed and commissioned by Dr. Gardner as a concept laboratory to improve NETL’s competitive posture in the nano- and catalytic sciences. The catalysts being developed are tested for their capability to produce syngas (H2 and CO) from shale gas with millisecond contact time reactions. Nanostructuring of the active sites is used to attain high activity and carbon deposition resistance during catalytic partial oxidation (CPOx). This technology will improve the overall efficiency and utilization of shale gas in the upstream oil and gas industry where significant amounts of associated gas is vented, as CH4, or flared, as CO2, during extraction of the higher value crude. The catalysts are being tailored for use in highly compact, millisecond contact time partial oxidation reactors where direct syngas production mechanisms have been reported in the literature. This topical area has not been researched to a great extent and holds great potential for future applications that reduce net carbon emissions from upstream crude production using small-scale gas-to-liquid (GTL) platforms.

The Greenpeace Ship Arctic Sunrise visits Elliott Bay in Seattle. n The ship is on a tour following the route that would experience a seven-fold increase in tar sands tanker oil traffic if the pipeline expansion is completed. The report documents the communities threatened by the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, which would worsen the effects of global warming, risk poisoning water, jeopardize the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend on clean coasts, violate Indigenous sovereignty, and threaten the extinction of the Southern Resident Orca Whale, of which only 75 remain.
Crews sopped up the remains of about 10,000 gallons of crude oil that sprayed into Los Angeles streets and onto buildings early May 15, 2014 after a high-pressure pipe burst. A geyser of crude spewed 20 feet high over approximately half a mile and was knee-high in some parts of the industrial area of Atwater Village before the oil line was remotely shut off, said Fire Capt. Jaime Moore. A handful of commercial businesses near the border of Glendale were affected, as well as a strip club that was evacuated. Firefighters and hazardous materials crews responded. Several roads were closed. Photo by Gus Ruelas/Greenpeace
Hazardous materials responders were on the scene of an oil pipeline rupture along the Alameda County-San Joaquin County border near Tracy, California cleaning up a spill reported to be as much as 21,000 gallons. The leak in the underground pipe, which was reported by Shell Pipeline Co. after a line between Coalinga (Fresno County) and Martinez lost pressure, was spilling crude oil into the soil but was not near any waterways where the problem would escalate. The oil release was visible on the ground in a 250-by-40-foot section, San Joaquin County officials said.

Climate activists from 350.org Pilipinas suited up in inflatable Pikachu costumes and paraded across the Japanese Embassy to challenge Japan to stop financing coal as it prepares to host the Group of 20 leaders’ summit as part of the many build up actions across Asia to call on the G20 to respond with both urgency and ambition to the climate crisis.
Greenpeace and Mosquito Fleet activists block a Kinder Morgan barge from entering the company’s Seattle facility by locking themselves to the pier and displaying banners. "The company's Trans Mountain Pipeline tramples Indigenous rights, threatens communities and their access to clean water, and the increased tanker traffic from the pipeline could decimate marine wildlife including the 76 remaining Southern Resident orcas,” said Greenpeace activist and Seattle resident Samantha Suarez.

Phil Thornhill, organiser of Camp Frack, speaks at a demo in Preston.
Camp Frack mobilised over 100 climate activists and local residents against plans by Cuadrilla Resources to drill for shale gas in Lancashire, UK.
"Camp Frack", named after "fracking", the process of pumping vast quantities of water underground and fracturing rocks with chemicals to release shale gas, set up outside the Lancashire village of Banks, close to a drilling rig that Cuadrilla Resources is using to drill up to 3.5km deep.
Environmentalists have argued that the "fracking" process is inherently risky. In the US, where shale gas is being hailed by industry as a potential substitute for oil, fears have been raised about the effect of the chemicals used, explosions, links with seismic activity and allegations of illness. A Cornell University study also concluded that greenhouse gas emissions from shale gas are higher than those for coal.

Refinery Corridor Healing Walk #3
Benicia to Rodeo, California June 11, 2017 - 3rd of 4 walks this year along the Refinery Corridor in the East Bay. Organized by Idle No More SF Bay, this 10.5 mile walk started in Benicia, home of Valero's Benicia Refinery, crossed the Carquinez Bridge and then passed thru the heart of Conoco-Phillips 66 “San Francisco” refinery.
Within minutes of the early morning start, walkers had the extremely rare opportunity to observe 2 Bald Eagles fishing and hanging out along the bay. And then, almost as if scripted, what started as a bright, sunny day turned increasingly windy and as the walkers approached the Conoco-Phillips 66 refinery, dark, menacing clouds formed, complete with lightning and eventually rain.
These walks have been bringing native people, local communities and those concerned about the health of the planet together to envision a healthier future, since 2014.
The next walk (July 16, 2017) will cover the section of the Refinery Corridor from Rodeo to the Chevron Richmond refinery. It will be the very last of a total of 16 walks that have happened over a period of 4 years.
These walks have done an outstanding job of connecting communities and issues and providing insights and ways to connect to the fierce battles being waged in our own back yards for "Clean Air, Water & Soil
Safe Jobs, Roads, Railroads & Waterways
A Vibrantly Healthy Future for All Children
A Just Transition to Safe & Sustainable Energy"
The Greenpeace Thermal Airship A.E. Bates flies over the Dallas, Texas area as part of a campaign confronting Exxon before its upcoming shareholder meeting on May 31st.
