Governments and firms around the world are racing to define their place in the clean energy economy, which is growing quickly as policy makers develop new industrial strategies that also bolster energy
In the backdrop of a persistent power crisis and raging coal scam, Greenpeace released its assessment report on Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) titled “Powering Ahead with Renewables: Leaders and Laggards”,
Coming up with a Project Design Memorandum (PDM) document for setting up and demonstration of 800 MW coal-fired plant with Advanced Ultra Supercritical (AUSC) parameters was a major stride by BHEL Tiruchi in ‘Engineering and Technology’ during 2012-13. BHEL has submitted to the Central government that the PDM it has prepared in association with National Thermal Power Corporation and Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research is capable of achieving a plant efficiency of 46 per cent, the highest so far in the world.
Renewable technologies & greater efforts by emerging economies among few bright spots The International Energy Agency (IEA) on Wednesday said the drive to clean up the world’s energy system had stalled. IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven told the 23-member Clean Energy Ministerial despite much talk by world leaders and a boom in renewable energy through the last decade, the average unit of energy produced on Wednesday was “as dirty as it was 20 years ago”.
Goal for stabilising global temperatures nowhere in sight, he laments India had launched a new initiative to double the renewable energy capacity to 55,000 MW by 2017 by exploiting non-conventional energy sources such as solar, wind power and energy from biomass, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said here on Wednesday. Delivering the inaugural address at the fourth Clean Energy Ministerial here, Dr. Singh however, expressed serious concern at the “painfully slow” progress of climate change talks. He regretted that the goal of stabilising global temperatures at acceptable levels was nowhere in sight.
The rapid expansion of renewable technologies is one of the few bright spots in an otherwise bleak assessment of global progress towards low-carbon energy, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in
Taking a worthwhile step forward, the recently-floated Solar Energy Association of Tamil Nadu (SEAT) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a Chinese firm to set up a model 5 MW solar power plant in the hinterlands of Tirupur. The SEAT was floated by a group of industrialists from Tirupur and its peripheral areas to promote tapping and use of solar energy through a consortium approach in industrial clusters across the State.
These regulations may be called the Uttarakhand Electricity Regulatory Commission (Tariff and Other Terms for Supply of Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources and non-fossil fuel based Co-generating
Inking the Nuclear Cooperation Agreement paves the way for Canadian uranium to reach India The governments of India and Canada have taken another step towards full implementation of their bilateral Nuclear Cooperation Agreement (NCA), paving the way for Canadian uranium to reach India. Joe Oliver, federal minister of natural resources, announced yesterday that officials from the two countries had signed an ‘Appropriate Arrangement’ as part of the nuclear agreement. He said so at the headquarters of Canada’s largest uranium producer, Cameco Corporation, in Saskatoon, a city in the province of Saskatchewan.
Plan to install 10,000 rooftop solar power plants The Agency for Non-Conventional Energy and Rural Technology (ANERT) has urged people to rely on solar energy more than on conventional sources. A workshop on 10,000 rooftop solar power plant programme, held here on Tuesday, said that the public should switch over to solar energy to tide over the power crisis in the State.
Experts say the membership will help India procure more fuel and nuclear components Indian nuclear experts have told Business Standard that it is an opportune time for the country to gain membership of the Nuclear Suppliers’ Group (NSG), despite reservations expressed by China and some smaller European states such as Ireland, the Netherlands and Switzerland. The experts strongly feel that this would not only help India procure more fuel and nuclear components, but also be an opportunity for the Indian industry to aggressively tap the global market.
