G20 countries have been divided over commitments on phasing down fossil-fuel use, especially coal; tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030; doubling the global rate of emission technologies; and finance for a just and green energy transition in the developing nations.
Ahead of the G20 Summit in New Delhi, a new report shows how human-driven climate change influenced 202 countries and territories from June to August 2023.
Renewable capacity installed in January through May was just 4.8 GW, perhaps the weakest increase since 2020. Intractable factors like high global interest rates raising the cost of financing energy infrastructure and chaotic land ownership system haven't helped. But India should review its planned 40 percent import tax on solar modules
The plan includes shifting maintenance of power plants to low-demand periods and redirecting surplus electricity to needy states
The Union minister confirmed Moneycontrol's newsbreak on the government's plan to use green ammonia and green hydrogen as energy storage systems
Coal ministry data showed that there has been a significant 53.13 percent decline in the import of thermal coal for domestic coal-based power plants for blending from 19.2 million tons (MT) in April-August, 2022 to 9 MT in April-August, 2023.
With agriculture's pivotal role in the economies of the Global South and their heightened sensitivity to food prices, it is imperative to address these challenges comprehensively
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has cautioned that the extremes reached are becoming “the new normal” and has declared human-induced climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions as the main driver.
Coal has been contributing about 70 percent to India's total energy mix, while pure renewable energy sources hover around 9 percent.
The peak power demand met during the day hit a record high of 240 GW on September 1. However, the power shortage or the demand that could not be met also hit a record high of 10 GW
Lightning in the state has become a common occurrence because of intense heat and high moisture content in the air, say scientists
Despite deaths of African cheetahs in Kuno National Park, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has said he's willing to donate more. Chellam lists what to keep in mind when introducing African cheetahs into India and calls for an inclusive, participatory approach in conservation programmes.
From climate change and plastic pollution to biodiversity conservation and sustainability, India has focused on a range of issues that are important to the global community.
NHPC Ltd CMD RK Vishnoi also said that the first and second units of the Subansiri Lower hydroelectric project in Arunachal Pradesh will be commissioned in January and March, 2024 respectively.
As polar sea ice melts, the fluffy chicks are drowning before they can learn to swim
Mumbai floods are more of a management problem due to unplanned development than a climate problem. But climate change is manifesting rapidly on India’s west coast. If Mumbai’s population is going to double by 2050, the corresponding surge in urban development is also an opportunity to redesign the city for future climate challenges
NTPC is set to sign a supply agreement for another four-and-a-half years with GAIL to ensure further availability of gas in the long run.
Cleaner electric-arc furnaces are replacing coal-dependent blast furnaces at a fast clip in steelmaking: From 67 percent in March 2022, blast furnace share in production slipped to 57 percent this March. Steelmaking, accounting for 7 percent of global emissions, is also looking at zero-carbon hydrogen in EAFs for producing "green" steel
The report, which returns after a gap of three years, shows 60 per cent of species in long-term decline. A few, however, are thriving.
RIL will simultaneously set up a fully-integrated, automated, giga-scale electrolyser manufacturing facility, Ambani said
Since it joined the WTO in 2001 and became the world’s factory, China has contributed nearly two-thirds of the growth in carbon pollution globally. As China reorients itself towards more productive activities, the country has an opportunity to reduce its energy intensity
The India opportunity is so attractive right now, and the next 25 years are truly going to be India's years, says Sumant Sinha, founder, chairperson and CEO of ReNew. We'll need almost $500 billion just for the electricity sector over the next 7-8 years, he says.
Rising temperatures could add 1 percent to global inflation every year until 2035.
There are several advantages of hydrogen fuel, as it is available in abundance and does not emit harmful substances, the officials added.
From a cyclone with the longest lifespan in the Arabian Sea to devastating floods in parts of northwest India and the adjoining Himalayan states, as well as a prolonged break in the monsoon, the unmistakable imprints of climate change are evident this year, asserted Mahesh Palawat, vice president (Climate Change and Meteorology) at private forecasting agency Skymet Weather.
