Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) -- The European Union said it will open
tomorrow a contest for the first portion of about 5 billion
euros ($7 billion) in subsidies to store carbon dioxide
underground and promote renewable energy as part of the fight
against global warming.
The EU will invite bids for "clean-coal" and renewable
aid that will come from the planned sale of as many as 300
million allowances to emit carbon dioxide under Europe's cap-
and-trade program.
