This annual Global Energy Outlook report examines a range of projections for the global energy system, summarizing key implications for global energy consumption, emissions, and geopolitics. The future
RENEWABLE ENERGY (RE) IS A KEY FOCUS AREA within the overall energy landscape and is expected to see significant growth over the medium to long term. The significant shortage of power, energy security and environmental concerns are some of the reasons driving the focus on RE.
Saran Renewable Energy is bringing power to the people in Bihar Tapash Talukdar TEENAGERS IN Saran district of Bihar have found a new idol. Their elders may still want them to become an engineer or a civil servant, but they would rather turn entrepreneur and do something for their villages, just the way 32-year old Vivek Gupta did.
The electric utility business has historically consisted of centralized, large-scale power plants, supplying electric power to load centers such as cities and industries through a power transmission and distribution network.
<br />Along with use of conventional resources, other sources like solar, wind, biomass, under-ground energy will also be tapped for increasing power production in the state. Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan said this while performing the bhumi pujan of the First solar Energy Park at Ganeshpura Village in Rajgarh district today.
Large-scale production of crop based (first generation) biofuels may not be feasible without adversely affecting global food supply or encroaching on other important land uses.
BASMATI rice company LT Foods Ltd plans to invest 100 crore to diversify into the renewable energy sector with a biomass project, a top company executive said. The company has identified a plot in Hoshiarpur district in Punjab for the project and expects the plant to be operational by June 2011.
Recent increases in production of crop-based (or first-generation) biofuels have engendered increasing concerns over potential conflicts with food supplies and land protection, as well as disputes over greenhouse gas reductions. This has heightened a sense of urgency around the development of biofuels produced from non-food biomass (second-generation biofuels).
Bio-fuel derived from biomass will be the foundation of power generation in Sri Lanka in the future, Power and Energy Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka said. He was participating in an inspection tour of the Tokyo Cement Factory in Trincomalee recently. The Minister asserted that the power demand in the North and East will be supplied 100 percent within two years.
BHUBANESWAR: THE State Government had decided to electrify 2,000 villages by nonconventional energy sources by March, 2012. A decision to this effect was taken at a highlevel meeting presided over by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik here today. So far the State Government has provided electricity to 395 villages by solar energy out of the 600 villages which had been taken up.
A new chemical process may help unlock biofuels from trees and plant waste in a shift from using food crops such as sugar cane to generate fuel, scientists said Thursday. They said they found an enzyme that helped break down chitin, a stiff material similar to woody cellulose that is found in the skeletons of crustaceans -- such as lobsters or crabs -- as well as insects. "We regard this as
