| Climate change: Scientists to identify ways to remove carbon in IPCC report to be released on Apr 4 | Over 10 lakh EVs registered, 1,742 public charging stations operational: Gadkari | EU seeks answers to energy supply crunch, U.S. LNG deal | |||
As the impact of climate change is felt in various parts of the world, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is set to release a key report focusing on how to mitigate the aggravating situation. The experts are likely to look at technologies that can help in the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere that is responsible for the warming of the planet. The third installment of the Sixth Assessment Report Read more... | New Delhi: A total of 10,60,707 electric vehicles were registered in India till last week, while 1,742 public charging stations (PCS) were operational in the country, Parliament was informed on Wednesday. In a written reply in the Rajya Sabha, Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said electric charging stations are to be provided by the developer on Read more... | BRUSSELS, March 24 (Reuters) - EU leaders are expected to agree at a two-day summit starting on Thursday to jointly buy gas, as they seek to cut reliance on Russian fuels and build a buffer against supply shocks, but the bloc remains unlikely to sanction Russian oil and gas. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Europe's top gas supplier, pushed already-high energy prices to records and has prompted Read more... | |||
| Finding ways to turn down the heat in cities | Adani Power board okays merger of six arms with itself | PNG price increased by Rs 1, a day after petrol, diesel and LPG rates hiked | |||
Rooftop gardens and greenery can help ease some of the severe heat in cities, according to research from climate scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York. For several decades, researchers have promoted replacing black tar and other dark-colored roofing materials with bright, Sun-reflecting surfaces or "green roofs" full of plant cover. Now they have used freely available satellite data to measure how effective these changes are.Heat is often Read more... | Adani Power on Tuesday said its board has approved an amalgamation scheme for the merger of its six whollyowned subsidiaries with itself. "The Board of Directors of Adani Power Ltd at its Meeting held on March 22, 2022, approved, subject to requisite approvals/consents, the Scheme of Amalgamation of various wholly-owned subsidiaries of the company..," a BSE filing said. As per the filing, the subsidiaries to be merged with Adani Power Read more... | After a hike in petrol, diesel and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) prices, Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) has also increased the price of domestic piped natural gas (PNG) by Rs 1 per standard cubic meter (SCM) effective from Thursday. According to IGL, PNG will cost Rs 36.61 per unit in Delhi and Rs 35.86 per unit in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad. People in Gurugram will need to pay Read more... | |||

| Aluminium Association of India seeks PMO intervention as coal supply deteriorate | PLI scheme to account for 13-15% capex in key industrial sectors over next 3-4 years: Report | Indian scientists develop green tech, pave way for low-cost, durable fuel cells | |||
New Delhi: Aluminium Association of India (AAI) on Monday said it has written to the Prime Minister's Office seeking its urgent intervention to ward off the imminent disruption in coal supplies with the state-run coal miner deciding to curtail road and rake coal dispatches to the non-power sector. The letter has been prompted by a recent adhoc decision by state-run CIL to further curtail road and rake supplies of coal to the non-power sector, without any Read more... | Mumbai: Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme will account for 13-15 per cent of the average annual investment spending in key industrial sectors over the next three-four years,according to a report by Crisil. Since its introduction in March 2020, PLI has been announced for 15 sectors, involving government incentives to the tune of Rs 1.93 lakh crore. Of this, 50-60 per cent is to be spent on sectors with domestic manufacturing and export focus, and the rest Read more... | NEW DELHI: Taking a giant leap in the development of green energy technology, Indian scientists have indigenously developed platinum-based electrocatalyst for use in fuel cells. The electrocatalyst developed showed comparable properties to the commercially-available electrocatalyst in terms of its performance in fuel cells, superior corrosion resistance and could enhance the lifetime of fuel cell stack performance.Fuel cells are energy conversion devices that Read more... | |||
| Professional services firm KPMG launches India Decarbonisation Hub | Design tweak helps prevent malfunction in yarns designed to store energy | ||||
Professional services firm KPMG has launched an India Decarbonisation Hub to provide businesses and institutions solutions for climate strategy and implementation, low carbon finance, energy efficiency and digital decarbonisation program, among others. “We think that the carbonization agenda is going to fundamentally change the way that businesses operate. We’re thinking about issues such as how do we gather data, how do we prove the verifiability of that Read more... | In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers found a way to prevent electrical malfunctions in yarns designed to store electrical energy. Ultimately, the findings could help advance the development of "smart textiles" that would capture energy from the wearer's movements and power sensors and wearable electronics. The researchers reported in npj Flexible Electronics that they were able to prevent short-circuiting in yarns that act as supercapacitors—which are 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."
