Judgment of the National Green Tribunal, May 27, 2025 in the matter of Sumit Saini Vs Shree Ram Steel Industries & Others. Sumit Saini, resident of village Damla, District Yamuna Nagar, Haryana had sent a letter petition dated May 14, 2022 to the NGT. The application said that around 25 …
An agreement by almost 200 nations to curb rising greenhouse gas emissions from 2020 will be far more costly than taking action now to tackle climate change, according to research published on Wednesday. Quick measures to cut emissions would give a far better chance of keeping global warming within an …
Pollution from fossil fuels and degraded natural lands are raising the earth's temperature. The evidence of the causes of global warming is clear, as are its consequences. The economic impacts of climate change are already apparent and they threaten development gains. Extreme weather events have brought severe droughts to Central …
The European Commission aims to award remaining funding for renewable energy and carbon capture projects within the coming 12 months, EU Environment Commissioner Connie Hedegaard said on Tuesday. "Within 12 months, we should be able to award the second round," Hedegaard told a news conference. The Commission on Tuesday awarded …
Countries have successfully launched a new commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol, agreed a firm timetable to adopt a universal climate agreement by 2015 and agreed a path to raise necessary ambition to respond to climate change. They also endorsed the completion of new institutions and agreed ways and means …
On average, efficiency of existing coal-fired power plants is quite low and this IEA technology roadmap focuses on development and deployment of HELE coal technologies for power generation & provides guidance on installing latest technologies in plants. Coal is the largest source of power globally and, given its wide availability …
Based on research by CE Delft, this report assesses the five decarbonisation scenarios presented in the European Commission’s Energy Roadmap 2050. It shows that the Energy Roadmap only considers a relatively narrow range of decarbonisation options, all with roughly similar levels of renewable energy by 2030, and a significant residual …
In order for global average temperatures to remain within bounds that may avoid the dangerous impacts of climate change, global CO2 emissions would need to peak within the next decade, and decrease at the very least by 50-85 per cent compared to year 2000 levels by mid-century. CCS is an …
British government support for low-carbon electricity generation will triple by 2020 after the energy and finance ministries on Friday reached a deal over costly reforms. The agreement is expected to boost the share of renewables in Britain's energy mix to 30 percent by 2020, outpacing European Union targets of 20 …
THE World Bank has warned the planet is on track to warm by 4 degrees this century, leading to more extreme heat waves, lower crop yields and increased flooding, possibly as early as 2060. In a report released in the lead-up to the year-end United Nations climate summit in Qatar, …
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) has received increasing attention in recent years, with claims for its potential as a “carbon negative” technology, to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations. http://www.biofuelwatch.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/BECCS-report.pdf
The European Union needs new binding goals on renewable energy and on cutting carbon emissions to succeed green policy targets that expire in 2020, the EU's energy chief said, omitting any mention of replacing the current energy savings target. His comments added to a debate about whether the three existing …
The Global Energy Assessment (GEA) seeks to examine: the major global challenges and their linkages to energy; the technologies and resources available for providing energy services; future energy systems that address the major challenges; and the policies and other measures to realize sustainable energy futures.
Biggest increase in coal usage for 50 years could throw the UK's green ambitions off course Coal is enjoying a renaissance, with the highest consumption of the fuel since the late 1960s. The unexpected development threatens to put climate change targets out of reach – and much of the reason …
Britain's energy minister wants to financially support two pilot carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, a technology the UK is banking on to reduce climate-warming emissions and to develop as a new export product. Britain sees CCS as a key technology for reducing carbon emissions in the energy sector, and …
More than a hundred carbon capture and storage projects (CCS) must be built to avoid dangerous global warming, an international CCS group said this week, as fears were raised over whether UK projects would benefit from an EU fund for 12 demonstration plants. The Global CCS Institute said in a …
The Global Status of CCS: 2012 is the fourth edition of the Global CCS Institute’s key publication on the progress and challenges facing carbon capture and storage (CCS). It covers developments from late 2011, until the beginning of September 2012 and provides a comprehensive overview of the state of development …
The 2012 EU Energy [R]evolution report, carried out for Greenpeace and the European Renewable Energy Council by the German National Centre for Aerospace, Energy and Transport Research, demonstrates how Europe would gain nearly half a million extra energy sector jobs by 2020 if it prioritises a system largely made up …
Developing countries need to transition to a low-carbon transport sector now to avoid locking themselves into an unsustainable and costly future, says a report by the World Bank. According to "Turning the Right Corner: Ensuring Development Through a Low-carbon Transport Sector", technical progress will take too long to fix the …
The cement industry is a major source of CO2 emissions, accounting for about 5 per cent of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Securing reductions in these emissions is critical if wider targets for emissions cuts—including the reductions of 80–95 per cent by 2050 set out in the EU roadmap and the reduction …
This study develops a wide-ranging index to assess the many factors that contribute to the health and benefits of the oceans, and the scores for all costal nations are assessed.
