Renewable sources such as solar, wind and hydropower could fulfill almost 80 percent of the world's energy demand by 2050 with the right policies, according to a U.N. report which won backing from governments on Monday. The 26-page study, by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), broadly matched a draft written by scientists.

A study team that recently toured Gujarat, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu, said that consultants will now be appointed to give recommendations for the policy.
European firms tap into the wind farm equipment replacement market Four new windmills made by Gamesa Tecnologica whirl beside a banana grove in Kammalapatti, Tamil Nadu, driven by a breeze that is too soft to spin a group of older turbines standing idle nearby.
Since nuclear and biofuel extract environmental cost, renewable energy is our best green bet Recently, ET organised a workshop, Energy India 2011: Energy security, climate change and economic development, where it was stressed, inter-alia, that our government is facing tough challenges in meeting energy requirements in an environmentally-sustainable manner.
Lack of prior experience and equity in the capital-intensive solar power sector is driving the Indian investors and EPC contractors to join hands with experienced cashrich foreign players. The National Solar Mission envisages installing 20,000 MW of generation capacity at an investment of about . 3 lakh crore in next one decade.
Government support for renewable energy must end gradually and in tandem with cuts in fossil fuel subsidies, say investors and lobbyists who complain bitterly about unpredictable chopping of incentives. Most green energy sources still struggle to compete with fossil fuels except in favorable areas, for example for onshore wind in coastal areas of western Europe or in Texas. Supporters accept
Germany aims to cut bureaucratic red tape that can hold up the construction of offshore windparks by bundling and transferring all responsibility for their approval process to one state authority. "This draft bill is a key first step toward a new energy concept by the federal government," transportation minister Peter Ramsauer said Wednesday. In the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear disaste
