BARMER/JAIPUR: After oil, the deserts of Barmer are poised to produce methane gas. For the first time in the country, methane gas will be extracted from the coals fields of Barmer through the 'microbial coal conversion' technology, developed in the laboratories of Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra (BITM). The Rajasthan …
BARC’s Nisargruna biogas technology can produce 25-30 kg of methane and 50-60 kg of organic manure from onetonne of biowaste A staggering amount of waste is generated every day in every town and city, and the local bodies are grappling with logistics for its disposal. The problem arises as the …
New Delhi They can do so by paying a fee, but must sell the mined fuel back to govt at a discount Stepping up the gas on coal production, the government proposes to allow companies exploring coal bed methane (CBM) to simultaneously mine coal from the same block. Permission may …
A 200-year period covering the heyday of both the Roman Empire and China's Han dynasty saw a big rise in greenhouse gases, according to a study that challenges the U.N. view that man-made climate change only began around 1800. A record of the atmosphere trapped in Greenland's ice found the …
The fields of climate change and livestock research have not always been cosy bedfellows. But they are ironing out their difficulties and looking ahead.
The IFAD has released a paper that provides a review of the role of livestock as a potential renewable energy source to improve energy access in rural areas. The paper focuses on opportunities to harness biogas from livestock wastes and residues, including tools and reviews on the best available information …
Evaluating the net exchange of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in conjunction with soil carbon sequestration may give a comprehensive insight on the role of agricultural production in global warming. Measured data of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) were utilized to test the applicability of the Denitrification and Decomposition (DNDC) …
A European satellite that will acquire data critical for weather forecasters has launched from Baikonur, Kazakhstan. A Soyuz rocket carried the four-tonne Metop-B spacecraft aloft for a flight to orbit that lasted just over the hour. The spacecraft will ensure there is continuity of observations following Metop-A, which was launched …
One of the most important European space launches of the year takes place from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, later. A Soyuz rocket will put the four-tonne Metop-B satellite in orbit to acquire critical data for weather forecasters. The spacecraft will ensure there is continuity of observations following on from Metop-A, which was …
The Climate Action Tracker has updated our analysis on national greenhouse gas emission reduction proposals for 2020 under the international climate negotiations. We find that governments are taking action to implement their reduction proposals, but many are set to fail in reaching those proposals. Recent highlights include the agreed link …
The state government had offered lucrative packages to sponge iron units to switch to coal-bed methane (CBM) as an alternate fuel, but none of the units came up with a proposal, rued state environment minister Sudarshan Ghosh Dastidar during the release of a report on the iron and steel sector …
On the basis of data from other subglacial environments and simulations of the accumulation of methane hydrate in Antarctic sedimentary basins, it seems there could be unsuspected, large stores of methane beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
A vast reservoir of the potent greenhouse gas methane may be locked beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, a study suggests. Scientists say the gas could be released into the atmosphere if enough of the ice melts away, adding to global warming. Research indicates that ancient deposits of organic matter may …
Washington, DC 28 August 2012 – Arctic sea ice has hit record lows with weeks still to go in the melt season, an indication of accelerating global warming. Arctic sea ice has reached the lowest level ever observed in the three decades since polar cap observations began, according to scientists …
Worries are surfacing that the shale gas boom could have a negative impact on the renewable industry according to a report published this week from UK think tank, Chatham House. In an interview with the author, Professor Paul Stevens told edie that questions over the extent to which the thriving …
Due To Global Warming, Meltdown Is 50% Faster Than Estimates: Experts London: Arctic sea ice could vanish within 10 years as it is melting much faster than previously believed, thanks to global warming, warn scientists, claiming that the process is 50% faster than the current estimates. Preliminary results from the …
Railway track and stations will be cleaner in the days to come, with the railways deciding to install bio-toilets in all coaches in a phased manner. It, however, cautioned that the success of the project would depend upon the cooperation and discipline of passengers. The decision comes close on the …
The World Bank said on Monday it plans to buy carbon credits from pig farms in the Philippines, helping farmers generate extra income by setting up environment friendly waste treatment facilities. Under the program it will finance the installation of such waste treatment systems that will capture methane gas from …
The Khyber Pakthunkhwa Government will install 436 bio gas plants in current fiscal year in Khyber Pakthunkhwa keeping In view its rich potential as low cost fuel for heating and power generation. Official sources in Industries Department told media on Sunday the plants would be installed in six districts of …
Carbon emissions from cities represent the single largest human contribution to climate change. Here we present a vision, strategy and roadmap for an international framework to assess directly the carbon emission trends of the world's megacities.
