| Climate change: IPCC scientists report five ways to save the planet | Nuclear capacity expected to reach 22,480 MW by 2031: Govt | Govt should extend oilfield contracts without changing terms, suggests Niti Aayog | |||
Yesterday, UN scientists laid out a plan that they believe could help people avoid the worst impacts of rising temperatures. The report, by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), essentially calls for a revolution in how we produce energy and power our world. To avoid very dangerous warming, carbon emissions need to peak within three years, and fall rapidly after that. Read more... | 'In-Principle' approval has been accorded for five new sites for locating nuclear power plants in future and on progressive completion of the projects under construction and sanctioned, the nuclear capacity is expected to reach 22,480 MW by 2031, the Parliament was informed on Wednesday."The government has accorded administrative approval and financial sanction for construction of 10 indigenous 700 MW Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors Read more... | New Delhi: Niti Aayog has recommended that the government extend oilfield contracts with companies without seeking alterations to the terms of the original agreement, a proposal that can help end a six-year-old legal dispute over renewal of Vedanta's Rajasthan block, the country's largest onland oilfield.Niti Aayog has sent its policy recommendation to the oil ministry, saying any extension of oilfield contracts should be as per the original terms and conditions, people .

| Restoring and protecting forests has never been more important as we face the harsh reality of climate change | India to see 48k more EV chargers with investment of Rs 14,000 crore in 3-4 years: ICRA | Rich Nations To Tap 120 Mn Barrels From Emergency Oil Reserves: IEA | |||
Agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) are responsible for nearly a quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions that are warming our planet, and despite billions of dollars committed to the cause, little headway has been made in recent years on reducing emissions in the sector. The bleak finding comes from a new report released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which I helped co-author. It found that 22 Read more... | India is likely to see around 48,000 additional electric vehicle chargers at an investment of around Rs 14,000 crore over the next 3-4 years amid an expected healthy electric vehicle (EV) penetration in the country, a report said on Wednesday. As the EV penetration is expected to increase in the two and three wheeler as well as bus segments, the expansion of charging infrastructure which is currently at a nascent stage will play a critical role, domestic credit ratings agency Icra said Read more... | Rich countries will tap an additional 120 million barrels of oil from emergency reserves in a bid to calm crude prices that have soared following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the International Energy Agency said on Wednesday. The move includes 60 million barrels to be released by the United States, which has recently announced it would tap its strategic oil reserves.The IEA "is moving ahead with a collective oil stock release of 120 million barrels (including 60 million barrels Read more... | |||

| Asia’s coal price jumps as EU’s Russia ban threatens supply | State No. 2 in achieving rooftop solar target | Affordable and productive electrolysis from a 3D printer | |||
Coal prices in Asia jumped as Europe’s move to ban Russian imports of the fuel threatened to deliver a new global supply challenge. Russia is the third-largest supplier of thermal coal and dominates sales to European nations, meaning there’ll be increased competition in a seaborne market that’s experienced unprecedented price swings this Read more... | Jaipur: Rajasthan is at No. 2 position in achieving the target for implementing rooftop solar projects in the country. Gujarat, which was given a target of 3200 MW, has achieved 54%, while Rajasthan has set up 33% of the allocated 2300 MW capacity. In terms of capacity by February 2022, Gujarat has come at No. 1 having a capacity of 1,936 MW while Maharashtra has 921MW Read more... | Stephane Weusten defended his Ph.D. on how to build an inexpensive and effective electrolyzer using a 3D printer. He easily adjusted geometrical parameters to improve the performance of the device. This accelerates research into the generation of cheaper and more efficient hydrogen. Electrolyzers are likely to play an important role in the energy transition. The devices split Read more... | |||
| GE awarded contract by ReNew Power to help develop renewable energy zones in India | Innovative waste heat recovery experiment in Sweden | ||||
The two substations consist of a 400/220 kV air-insulated substation in Koppal and a 400 kV gas-insulated substation in Narendra. The contract also includes the supply of two 125 MVAR 400 kV reactors for each substation. GE’s multi-million dollar contract with ReNew Power is part of the Narendra-Koppal transmission scheme. The scheme in turn is part of the planned interstate Read more... | RISE Research Institutes of Sweden has set up a small fuel cell-powered data center in Luleå, a coastal city in northern Sweden, for the recovery of waste heat. The fuel cells generate electricity used to power the Edge data center and supply the excess heat to the local district heating and cooling grid.RISE is a partner in the EU-funded WEDISTRICT project aimed at demonstrating that district heating and cooling systems can be built on a combination of , Read more... | ||||
WEC India Energy Handbook mobile application is a compendium of Indian and Global energy sector. The handbook is conceptualized as a ready reference for the energy professionals, covering key energy indicators, trends, source wise electricity generation, fossil fuel prices, top producers of electricity and reserves in the form of user interactive charts and graphs. The handbook also gives insight to global and Indian scenarios by organisations like IEA, EIA and WEC till 2040."
