| Government set to add 3 ‘missions’ to tackle climate change impact | Nepal proposes selling an additional 222 MW of electricity to India | Global gas ship shortage sends vessel rates surging to record | |||
NEW DELHI: Seeking to expand its activities in different sectors to achieve the country’s updated climate action targets, the government has decided to add three new ‘missions’ — on coastal ecosystem, human health and sustainable transport — to implement its existing National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC), taking the total number of such dedicated missions to 11. Besides, the government has also asked states to tweak their action plans on climate change and sync them with the NAPCC and the Read more... | New Delhi: Nepal has proposed selling an additional 222 MW of electricity to India as it is facing losses of up to 800 MW daily due to increasing electricity generation within the Himalayan nation and decreasing domestic demand. In June, Nepal started exporting the total approved 364 MW of electricity to India through its power exchange market. Buoyed by surplus rainfall this year, Nepal is exporting surplus electricity to India through its power exchange market for the second consecutive year, according to the Read more... | (Bloomberg) –A rush to safe pure gas is leading to an acute shortage of seaborne vessels, forcing corporations to pay record-high rates to transport the gasoline to Europe. The continent is racing to exchange Russian pipeline flows with liquefied pure gas from suppliers together with within the US and Nigeria. But there are few ships obtainable by means of the remainder of the 12 months, presenting a brand new danger to world gas provide this winter.Buyers are snapping up all obtainable vessels as demand for gas will increase with winter approaching, and refraining from releasing any again Read more... | |||
| Solar geoengineering: A new tool for fighting climate change | Nuclear share in energy generation falls to lowest in four decades-report | Ministerial dialogue of US-India Strategic Clean Energy Partnership to take place on Friday | |||
OCTOBER 5, 2022 — Editor’s note: This op-ed by Hamid Beladi, Janey S. Briscoe Endowed Chair in Business in the Carlos Alvarez College of Business and Amitrajeet A. Batabya, Arthur J. Gosnell professor of economics at the Rochester Institute of Technology originally appeared in the San Antonio Express-News. Scientists, economists and policymakers throughout the world now agree that climate change is the most serious environmental problem confronting humankind today. Although the long-term changes in temperatures Read more... | LONDON: The share of nuclear power in global gross electricity generation fell below 10% last year to the lowest in around four decades, an industry report showed on Wednesday. Nuclear energy generated 2,653 terawatt hours of electricity last year, accounting for 9.8% of global generation - the lowest since the 1980s, the annual World Nuclear Industry Status Report (WNISR) showed. Proponents of nuclear say as a low-carbon power source it could be vital in Read more... | New Delhi: A ministerial dialogue of the US-India Strategic Clean Energy Partnership (USISCEP) will be held on Friday in the US, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoP&NG) said on Wednesday. The dialogue is part of an official and business delegation visit to Washington DC and Houston, USA, from October 6-11 being led by Hardeep S Puri, Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas and Housing and Urban Affairs. In Washington DC, the Minister will co-chair the USISCEP on Read more... | |||

| Coal India asked to enhance supply to thermal power plants | NTPC Commissions First Part Of Bikaner Solar Project, The Seventh Since August | Researchers make strong battery separator using nanomaterials made from seaweed | |||
New Delhi: With the festival season round the corner, Coal India Ltd has been directed by the government to scale up dispatch to thermal power plants. In a review meeting presided over by Coal Minister Pralhad Joshi, coal companies were advised to enhance supplies to thermal power plants to help them meet the growing electricity Read more... | The state-run power major NTPC Limited has commissioned the first part capacity of 150 MW out of 300 MW Shambu ki Burj-2 Solar PV Project at Bikaner in Rajasthan. The company made this announcement in a regulatory filing to the stock exchange last week. Read more... | Sodium-metal batteries (SMBs) are one of the most promising high-energy and low-cost energy storage systems for the next-generation of large-scale applications. However, one of the major impediments to the development of SMBs is uncontrolled dendrite growth, which penetrate the battery's separator and result in short-circuiting. Building on previous work at the University of Bristol and in . Read more... | |||
| Renewables met 100% of the rise in global electricity demand in the first half of 2022 | Researchers' flow platform advances water harvesting technology | ||||
Renewables met all of the rise in global electricity demand in the first half of 2022, preventing any growth in coal and gas generation, according to a new report published by London-based energy think tank Ember. The rise in wind and solar generation met over 75% of the demand growth in the first half of 2022, while hydro met the remainder, preventing a possible 4% increase in fossil-fuel generation and avoiding $40 billion in fuel costs and 230 Mt CO2 in emissions.Malgorzata Wiatros-Motyka, senior analyst at Ember, said: Read more... | This summer's megadrought in the Western U.S. and the failure of a Mississippi water treatment plant have demonstrated the need for alternative ways to access water during shortages. One solution to water scarcity is harvesting water from air. Dr. Xianming "Simon" Dai, assistant professor of mechanical engineering in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas, is working on technology to make it possible for anyone to have an affordable, portable device that could access 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."
