| Climate change may dim solar energy 10-15 per cent: Study | Power Ministry Puts Phase-1 Of Emission Control Gear On Hold Basis IIT Report | Essar signs new 60 million litre fuel deal with DA Roberts | |||
Mumbai: Climate change could impact the state’s solar and wind energy potential. While solar radiation is expected to decrease by 10-15 per cent in five decades, the wind energy potential could increase significantly across states during the same period, revealed a study by researchers at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune. Scientist Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay from IITM said, “Projections of solar energy potential for the future over the western Indian region Read more... | The Indian Power Ministry has been effectively implementing pollution management methods (emission control) in selected energy crops to examine the benefits before rolling out the predicted 2 lakh crore of funding in all initiatives that would raise electrical energy rates. The government has indicated that the application of Flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) techniques increases carbon dioxide emissions. This observation is based on studies conducted by IIT Delhi and the Central Electrical Energy Authority (CEA). -Read more... | New Delhi: Essar Oil UK Limited has cemented a long-standing relationship with DA Roberts after signing a five-year, 60 million litre fuel deal with the Shropshire-based business. The deal will see DA Roberts' Gridley Brook garage in Whitchurch, Shropshire, rebranded as an Essar outlet, enabling the business to buy fuel direct from its manufacturing source to improve efficiencies and bring economies of scale savings. As one of only six refineries in the UK, Essar is able to leverag Read more... | |||
| Scientists say new climate law is likely to reduce warming | TN power utility to float tenders for EV charging stations at 100 spots | ONGC, ExxonMobil in deepwater exploration tie-up | |||
Massive incentives for clean energy in the US law signed Tuesday by President Joe Biden should reduce future global warming “not a lot, but not insignificantly either,” according to a climate scientist who led an independent analysis of the package. Even with nearly $375 billion in tax credits and other financial enticements for renewable energy in the law, the United States still isn’t doing its share to help the world stay within another few tenths of a degree of warming, a new analysis by Climate Action Tracker says. The group of scientists Read more... | Chennai: The Tamil Nadu Generation and distribution company (Tangedco) is to float a tender for electric vehicle (EV) charging units in the state. According to a statement from the office of the state electricity minister, V. Senthil Balaji, 100 locations across highways have been identified for opening EV charging stations. According to the office of the electricity minister, the Central power ministry has accorded sanctions for 256 charging stations across Read more... | NEW DELHI: State-owned ONGC on Wednesday signed a HoA (Heads of Agreement) with US major ExxonMobil Corp for deepsea exploration in India’s east and west coasts. The two companies will focus on the Krishna-Godavari and Cauvery basins in the eastern offshore and the Kutch-Mumbai region in western offshore areas, according to an ONGC statement.The company did not elaborate on the nature of the partnership and if ExxonMobil will buy a stake in Read more... | |||

| Govt to offer over 107 coal blocks for auction in near future: Coal Minister | REC to showcase its new Alpha Pure-R solar at Renewable Energy India | Risk of electrocution from electric cars reduced with new technology | |||
Coal Minister Pralhad Joshi on Wednesday said that the government will make available more than 107 coal blocks for commercial mining through the auction route in the near future. Joshi pointed out that the Indian economy is growing at a very fast pace and coal based power generation has recorded a 16.8 per cent increase this year and production of domestic coal has gone up by 22 per cent. By the year 2030 India’s coal requirement will be 1.5 billion tonnes. Read more... | Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 17 (ANI): REC Group, an international pioneering solar energy company headquartered in Norway, and its new parent company, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), plan to put on a compelling show at Renewable Energy India (REI) to be held from 28 to 30 September. REC is exhibiting its new Alpha Pure-R solar panel, just one year after launching the 2022 Intersolar Award winner, REC Alpha Pure. Demonstrating its commitment to supply its manycustomers with innovative solar Read more... | New technology, developed by researchers at the University of York, has proved successful in reducing the risk of electrocution to drivers and passengers of electric vehicles as a result of damage to the cars in major road accidents. As sales of electric vehicles continue to grow around the world, issues of safety have become of high importance, in particular how cars are serviced and how voltage in the vehicles can be reduced in cases where circuitry is damaged. Electric vehicles have higher voltage and Read more... | |||
