To meet the internationally agreed target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, emissions must fall by 45% by 2030.
India's per capita emissions stand at 2.9 tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e), far below the global average of 6.6 tCO2e.
Delivering India's national statement at the UN climate conference in Baku, Union Minister of State for Environment Kirti Vardhan Singh also criticised the restrictive trade measures imposed by some developed nations.
A breakthrough may happen as ministers from several countries arrive for the conference’s second week to resolve the contentious issue of how much wealthy nations should pay emerging economies to move away from fossil fuels
The companies are considering the use of hydrogen and biochar at SAIL's plants while also building local research and development
Climate change happening due to increased global warming according to two recent studies, this change is making the glacier ice is melt rapidly. The water concentration is increasing near the equator, making a mass collection in the middle that is increasing the planet's inertia, and making the Earth's day longer. The speed of the planet depends on the mass and shape of that planet.
World Bank: The operation will promote the development of a market for green hydrogen, continue to increase renewable energy, and get finance for low-carbon energy investments.
The installed capacity is likely to grow at 86 percent rom 416 GW in 2023 to 770-780 GW by 2030. Non-fossil fuel sources are expected to constitute 90 percent of this additional capacity, Crisil said in its report.
Injection of hydrogen in blast furnaces helps reduce consumption of coal in the production process, thereby reducing a company's carbon footprint.
A levy on imports of carbon-intensive materials such as steel may help limit emissions, but producers warn it could radically alter trade flows
Jindal Stainless has committed to reducing 50 percent of its emission intensity by 2035 aligning with India's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of reducing emissions intensity of its GDP by 45 percent by 2030.
While the country’s carbon emissions are projected to go into a structural decline, new coal project approvals are soaring
This comes at a time when the Indian government is reportedly working on a new EV policy that would slash import taxes for companies that commit to some local manufacturing.
Such (biofuel) alliances are aimed at creating options for developing countries to advance their energy transitions, the PM said.
Estimates show that without significant interventions, AI models could consume more energy than the entire human workforce by 2025, considerably impacting global carbon reduction goals
For the Indian Green Credit Programme to succeed, the government must first expand the scope of the programme to encourage and implement new and innovative decarbonisation strategies for the industry and hard-to-abate sectors
Interestingly, according to studies, the US has historically been the world’s largest emitter of planet-heating gases.
Renewable energy sources will likely account for 64 percent of India’s installed capacity mix for power generation by FY30, according to official estimates.
The solar sector is finding it tough to meet targets as it faces policy headwinds. Besides, a plethora of grid norms are also increasing project costs.
There’s been some progress, but more efforts are needed to raise our country’s forest cover to 33 per cent by 2030
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says a 43% reduction in emissions by 2030 is needed to limit warming to 1.5 Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures.
“Indian steel industry needs innovation in low-emission alloy making and financing solutions at a comparative cost advantage to reach the next level of steel decarbonisation,” said Seshagiri Rao, Joint MD, JSW Steel, and Group CFO.
The companies plan to use technologies that can potentially reduce the emission intensity of integrated steel mills by up to 30 percent.
The company also aims to reduce carbon emissions intensity by 42 percent by 2030, group chairman Sajjan Jindal said in the annual report.
Emission reduction is everyone’s responsibility. But what about carbon dioxide removal? Intuitively, it is primarily the job of the rich countries, which put the bulk of that carbon in the atmosphere in the first place
