The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has notified draft CERC (Terms and Conditions for Tariff determination from Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations, 2024. As per the draft, CERC is responsible
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
<p>This report by Greenpeace looks at two projects in Bihar that are using decentralised renewable energy (DRE) to deliver energy services to the people. Says that DRE can plug the deficit and bring development to the state.</p>
This study implements a new methodology developed by the JRC IES and IE for estimating changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from soil and above- and below-ground biomass resulting from global land use changes caused by the production of biofuels. The methodology is based on the Tier 1 approach as developed under the IPCC 2006 Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
Godrej Industries is planning to commercially generate power from palm oil biomass in the next 2-3 years, a move expected to give boost to green energy production in the country.
The Haryana government has formulated a plan for mass production of bio-fuels from all kinds of biomass and organic waste. A spokesman of the Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency said by converting biomass, animal waste, hospital waste, hotel waste, industries waste into bio-fuels, the emission of extremely lethal methane gas into environment could be prevented.
