Order of the National Green Tribunal in the matter of Dr. Amit Kumar Vs State of Uttar Pradesh & Others dated 28/05/2025. The applicant has raised a grievance against setting up of a tyre pyrolysis plant by M/s Adideva Carbon LLP. According to the applicant, the tyre pyrolysis plant has …
Increased use of natural gas has been promoted as a means of decarbonizing the US power sector, because of superior generator efficiency and lower CO2 emissions per unit of electricity than coal. We model the effect of different gas supplies on the US power sector and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. …
Growing use of natural gas fails to benefit the environment because it slows the spread of renewable energy sources, according to a study released today. While natural gas releases less carbon dioxide than coal when burned to produce electricity, it hampers growth of cleaner energy such as wind and solar, …
The government has unveiled its strategy to make Australia into an “energy superpower”, including goals to increase energy productivity, ramp up gas production and stabilise electricity prices. The energy green paper states that the repeal of the carbon and mining taxes have improved Australia as an investment destination but more …
This paper illustrates the consequences of the search for energy security and its relationship to regional trade and cooperation. It asserts three main ways regional cooperation can strengthen national policies on energy security: information and knowledge sharing to create a sound evidence base for policies; agreement on common policies; and …
Obama administration officials said their signature effort to combat climate change will make only a modest dent in global greenhouse-gas emissions even as they called it an important first step. With Republicans such as Representative Lamar Smith blasting a proposal from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to curb emissions from …
A study that blamed natural gas drilling for water pollution in two states has spurred calls for stricter regulations to keep wells from leaking methane into aquifers. The study backed the oil and gas industry in one respect: It discounted hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, as the source for harmful methane …
Barack Obama applied the brakes to the most critical component of his climate change plan on Tuesday, slowing the process of setting new rules cutting carbon pollution from power plants, and casting a shadow over a landmark United Nations’ summit on global warming. The proposed power plant rules were meant …
China will begin commercial production of gas hydrate - an enormous, untapped energy source in permafrost and ocean sediments - around 2030 as it tries to diversify its energy mix by tapping into unconventional sources. Li Jinfa, deputy director of China Geological Survey, said that with consistent efforts in gas …
Biomethane industry executives have called for urgent Government intervention to boost supply of the renewable natural gas, which can be used by businesses as a transport fuel. Speakers at last week's UK Biomethane & Gas Vehicle conference noted that the market and demand for biomethane has grown exponentially, and now …
One of the biggest hurdles to building new power plants in Japan is finding a place that’s safe from earthquakes and tsunamis. That place may turn out to be 30 miles at sea. Sevan Marine ASA (SEVAN), a Norwegian builder of offshore oil-drilling vessels, is proposing a $1.5 billion natural …
The purpose of this study is to compare the energy efficiency and CO2-intensity of fossil-fired power generation for Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway aggregated), South Korea, United Kingdom and Ireland (aggregated), and the United States. This is done by calculating separate benchmark …
Guardian poll suggests public unmoved by assurances that planning guidance has been tightened for shale drilling Fracking should be completely banned from national parks, according to a strong majority of the UK public. The controversial issue of shale gas exploration in some of the country’s most precious landscapes forced ministers …
Key World Energy Statistics from the IEA contains timely, clearly-presented data on the supply, transformation and consumption of all major energy sources.
China will exert consistent and unswerving efforts to establish a strategic partnership of energy cooperation with Russia as agreed by the heads of state of the two countries, Chinese Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli said here Saturday. Zhang made the remarks as he co-chaired the 11th meeting of the China-Russia Energy Cooperation …
Shale resources are unevenly distributed worldwide and, for the most part, not located where freshwater is abundant. For example, China, Mexico, and South Africa have some of the largest technically recoverable shale gas resources (based on estimates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration), but face high to extremely high water …
A new report from the UK’s Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) think tank has called for energy efficiency to be at the core of an EU strategy to improve security of energy supplies. The document emerges at a time of significantly increased concern over energy supplies given Europe’s dependence …
World markets for petroleum and other liquid fuels have entered a period of dynamic change—in both supply and demand. Potential new supplies of oil from tight and shale resources have raised optimism for significant new sources of global liquids. The potential for growth in demand for liquid fuels is focused …
This report prepared by the committee chaired by Dr. Vijay Kelkar includes a discussion of the economic foundations of Exploration and Production Contracts and an early action program drawn upon the analysis and inputs received from wide ranging consultations with stakeholders. Kelkar committee was set up by the Government of …
In December 2012, the Rangarajan Committee submitted its report on "Production Sharing Contract (PSC) Mechanism in Petroleum Industry". The report, inter- alia, recommended a formula for pricing of domestically produced gas. The Rangarajan Committee made the following observations in para 24.2 of their report while discussing "An Approach to Gas …
A Yale University committee declined to recommend that the Ivy League school sell its investments in fossil-fuel companies, defying pressure from students. Instead, the Committee on Investor Responsibility adopted shareholder proxy voting guidelines on climate change, Yale President Peter Salovey said today in a statement. David Swensen, Yale’s chief investment …
