| Climate change: Key UN finding widely misinterpreted | PM Modi announces electric locomotive plant in tribal-dominated Dahod in Gujarat | Electrolyzer PLI to push green hydrogen output | |||
A key finding in the latest IPCC climate report has been widely misinterpreted, according to scientists involved in the study. In the document, researchers wrote that greenhouse gases are projected to peak "at the latest before 2025".This implies that carbon could increase for another three years and the world could still avoid dangerous warming.But scientists say that's incorrect and that emissions need to fall immediately.Coral reefs mapped to tackle climate Read more... | Dahod: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday announced that an electric locomotive manufacturing plant with an investment of Rs 20,000 crore would be set up in the tribal-dominated Dahod district of Gujarat. The area, thus, will become a major centre of the Make in India initiative, he said, speaking at a large gathering of members of tribal communities on the outskirts of Dahod town. "A steam locomotive workshop was established here before Independence. Read more... | NEW DELHI : India plans to introduce a production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme to encourage the manufacturing of electrolyzers used to extract hydrogen from water, two people aware of the development said.The power ministry and the government’s policy think tank NITI Aayog are working on the specifics of the scheme, which is likely to be launched by September, the people said on condition of anonymity. The scheme is likely to run for five years. Read more... | |||
| Biden restores climate to landmark environmental law, reversing Trump | India, Bangladesh set to formalise electricity sharing system | OIL commissions India’s first pure green hydrogen plant in Assam | |||
WASHINGTON: The Biden administration announced Tuesday that it is restoring parts of a bedrock environmental law, once again requiring that climate impacts be considered and local communities have input before federal agencies approve highways, pipelines and other major projects. The administration has resurrected requirements of the 50-year-old National Environmental Policy Act that Read more... | news1NEW DELHI: In a significant move, the Bangladesh government is considering a plan to enter into a cross-border exchange of electricity with India through the Indian Energy Exchange (IEX). The move will formalise the electricity trade and increase the scope of electricity exchanges between the two countries. The demand for Indian power is rising in Bangladesh which purchased 17.31 per cent more electricity from India Read more... | Solar-powered pump station has installed capacity for 10 kg hydrogen per day Exploration and production major Oil India Limited (OIL) has commissioned “India’s first 99.999% pure” green hydrogen plant in Assam. Green hydrogen, which has the potential to replace fossil fuels, is the name given to hydrogen gas produced using renewable energy such as wind or solar power that do not entail greenhouse gas emissions.
