Order of the National Green Tribunal in the matter of Dr. Amit Kumar Vs State of Uttar Pradesh & Others dated 28/05/2025. The applicant has raised a grievance against setting up of a tyre pyrolysis plant by M/s Adideva Carbon LLP. According to the applicant, the tyre pyrolysis plant has …
A growing body of evidence shows that economic growth is not in conflict with efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Experience at the state and national levels demonstrates that well-designed policies can reduce greenhouse gas emissions while providing overall net public benefits, for example, through improved public health, as …
GUWAHATI, Sept 29 – For the first time in the State, natural gas near crude oil extraction sites that is wasted by burning will be used to run a thermal power plant. The first such plant – a 50-MW thermal power station – is set to come up at Titabor …
Assam will soon set up a gas-based thermal power plant; which for the first time will use 'waste' gas as its fuel. The power plant, proposed to be set up at Titabor in Jorhat district, will come up at an estimated cost of Rs 300 crore and would be commissioned …
NEW YORK: Increased use of natural gas will not help arrest carbon dioxide (CO2) emission significantly because it delays the widespread construction of low-carbon energy facilities, such as solar arrays, says a US-based study. Inexpensive gas boosts electricity consumption and hinders expansion of cleaner energy sources, such as wind and …
Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the US, the Cabinet on Wednesday cleared five agreements with that country's government.These are for a global telescope project, on education, gas hydrates, clean energy and climate change. In the deal to be signed in gas hydrates, US and Indian scientists will …
Growing use of natural gas fails to benefit the environment because it slows the spread of renewable energy sources, according to a study released today. While natural gas releases less carbon dioxide than coal when burned to produce electricity, it hampers growth of cleaner energy such as wind and solar, …
Increased use of natural gas has been promoted as a means of decarbonizing the US power sector, because of superior generator efficiency and lower CO2 emissions per unit of electricity than coal. We model the effect of different gas supplies on the US power sector and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. …
The government has unveiled its strategy to make Australia into an “energy superpower”, including goals to increase energy productivity, ramp up gas production and stabilise electricity prices. The energy green paper states that the repeal of the carbon and mining taxes have improved Australia as an investment destination but more …
This paper illustrates the consequences of the search for energy security and its relationship to regional trade and cooperation. It asserts three main ways regional cooperation can strengthen national policies on energy security: information and knowledge sharing to create a sound evidence base for policies; agreement on common policies; and …
Obama administration officials said their signature effort to combat climate change will make only a modest dent in global greenhouse-gas emissions even as they called it an important first step. With Republicans such as Representative Lamar Smith blasting a proposal from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to curb emissions from …
A study that blamed natural gas drilling for water pollution in two states has spurred calls for stricter regulations to keep wells from leaking methane into aquifers. The study backed the oil and gas industry in one respect: It discounted hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, as the source for harmful methane …
Barack Obama applied the brakes to the most critical component of his climate change plan on Tuesday, slowing the process of setting new rules cutting carbon pollution from power plants, and casting a shadow over a landmark United Nations’ summit on global warming. The proposed power plant rules were meant …
China will begin commercial production of gas hydrate - an enormous, untapped energy source in permafrost and ocean sediments - around 2030 as it tries to diversify its energy mix by tapping into unconventional sources. Li Jinfa, deputy director of China Geological Survey, said that with consistent efforts in gas …
Biomethane industry executives have called for urgent Government intervention to boost supply of the renewable natural gas, which can be used by businesses as a transport fuel. Speakers at last week's UK Biomethane & Gas Vehicle conference noted that the market and demand for biomethane has grown exponentially, and now …
One of the biggest hurdles to building new power plants in Japan is finding a place that’s safe from earthquakes and tsunamis. That place may turn out to be 30 miles at sea. Sevan Marine ASA (SEVAN), a Norwegian builder of offshore oil-drilling vessels, is proposing a $1.5 billion natural …
The purpose of this study is to compare the energy efficiency and CO2-intensity of fossil-fired power generation for Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway aggregated), South Korea, United Kingdom and Ireland (aggregated), and the United States. This is done by calculating separate benchmark …
Guardian poll suggests public unmoved by assurances that planning guidance has been tightened for shale drilling Fracking should be completely banned from national parks, according to a strong majority of the UK public. The controversial issue of shale gas exploration in some of the country’s most precious landscapes forced ministers …
China will exert consistent and unswerving efforts to establish a strategic partnership of energy cooperation with Russia as agreed by the heads of state of the two countries, Chinese Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli said here Saturday. Zhang made the remarks as he co-chaired the 11th meeting of the China-Russia Energy Cooperation …
Shale resources are unevenly distributed worldwide and, for the most part, not located where freshwater is abundant. For example, China, Mexico, and South Africa have some of the largest technically recoverable shale gas resources (based on estimates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration), but face high to extremely high water …
A new report from the UK’s Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) think tank has called for energy efficiency to be at the core of an EU strategy to improve security of energy supplies. The document emerges at a time of significantly increased concern over energy supplies given Europe’s dependence …
