| Solar companies are resorting to innovative technologies to fight climate change | Govt: Will scale up coal production to meet the rising power demand | Russia has no extra oil to sign deals with two Indian buyers: Sources | |||
Climate change is happening right now and is real. It affects the planet in several ways, including making it warmer, disrupting weather patterns, and melting polar ice caps. A 2021 study found that 98.7% of climate experts indicated that the earth is getting warmer primarily because of human activity. There is overwhelming evidence that human activity, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, is the leading cause of climate Read more... | Union power minister RK Singh on Tuesday said that the government will further increase coal production to meet the rising power demand in the country, while adding that coal imports have improved over the past few weeks. Addressing a press conference, Singh also announced that the government has notified the Green Open Access Rules, 2022, which will enable small commercial and industrial consumers to demand and procure renewable Read more... | New Delhi: Russia's Rosneft is holding back on signing new crude oil deals with two Indian state refiners, three sources with knowledge of the matter said, as it has committed sales to other customers. Indian refiners have been snapping up cheap Russian oil, shunned by western companies and countries since sanctions were imposed against Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, which Russia calls Read more... | |||
| How is climate change impacting the world’s ocean | Power demand hits new peak at 209 GW | Russia doesn’t have extra oil for new deals with two Indian buyers: Reuters, citing sources | |||
The ocean has long taken the brunt of the impacts of human-made global warming, says UN Climate Change. As the planet’s greatest carbon sink, the ocean absorbs excess heat and energy released from rising greenhouse gas emissions trapped in the Earth’s system. Today, the ocean has absorbed about 90 percent of the heat generated by rising emissions.As the excessive heat and energy warms the ocean, the change in temperature Read more... | NEW DELHI: Continued heat wave due to a pause in the monsoon’s progress and expanding economic activities pushed India’s peak power demand to a fresh record of 209.8 gigawatts (GW) on Wednesday. But higher thermal generation made possible by increased availability of coal as well as wind and hydro energy prevented power cuts from getting longer. According to power ministry data, the new record was clocked Read more... | Russia’s Rosneft is holding back on signing new crude oil deals with two Indian state refiners, three sources with knowledge of the matter said, as it has committed sales to other customers.

| Draft Indonesia renewables bill proposes coal-based fuels as 'new energy' | India's power crisis deepens as policy issues eclipse rooftop solar | Increasing the lifespan and stability of solid-state lithium-ion batteries | |||
JAKARTA: Indonesia's parliament is proposing the inclusion of coal-based energy and nuclear power as "new energy" sources in a draft of a new bill seen on Wednesday, which also proposes renewable energy compensation and incentives. The draft reviewed by Reuters also proposes increasing the so-called Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) for coal to Read more... | India’s Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy Bhagwanth Khuba launched a “Ghar Ke Upar Solar Is Super” — another of those catchily-named schemes that characterise the Narendra Modi government. It’s a nationwide rooftop solar awareness campaign with a promise to mobilise states, citizens and municipalities, and enable a major role for rooftop solar in the government’s Read more... | Researchers have successfully increased the lifespan and stability of solid-state lithium-ion batteries, creating a viable approach for future widespread usage. The strength of the new, high-density batteries produced by the University of Surrey means that they are less likely to short-circuit—a problem found in previous lithium-ion solid-state batteries.Dr. Yunlong Zhao from the Advanced Read more... | |||
| Brookfield commissions first solar project in India with 445 MW capacity | Lithium-ion batteries that last longer in extreme cold | ||||
Brookfield Renewable India today announced the successful commissioning of its first greenfield project in India, a 445 MW solar plant, near Jodhpur, Rajasthan. NSE -0.19 % will offtake this power under a 25-year PPA (power purchase agreement) for onward sale to Madhya Pradesh Power Management Company and Puducherry Electricity Department. "The project will contribute to India’s decarbonisation efforts, generating over 800 GWh Read more... | When temperatures fall below freezing, cellphones need to be recharged frequently, and electric cars have shorter driving ranges. This is because their lithium-ion batteries' anodes get sluggish, holding less charge and draining energy quickly. To improve electrical performance in the extreme cold, researchers reporting in ACS Central Science have replaced the traditional graphite anode in a lithium-ion battery with a bumpy carbon-based material, which maintains its rechargeable 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."
