GABORONE – Australian firm Tlou Energy Limited has started generating electricity from coal bed methane (CBM), a first for Botswana where power has traditionally been sourced from thermal coal and solar. The Australian company announced this week that it is now powering generators at its Selemo pilot project in Mmashoro …
This study evaluates the potential for improving milk production while reducing enteric methane emission intensity from dairy production in Bangladesh. The overall objective of this study is to support Bangladesh in identifying low-cost strategies to reduce enteric methane (CH4) emissions while contributing to the country’s short- to long-term social and …
Mumbaikars may soon commute in methane, ethanol and electric buses Mumbaikars can soon commute in environment-friendly buses to be operated on methane, ethanol and electric batteries. This has been suggested by the union ministry of roads and highways in a bid to curtail use of private vehicles and thereby decongest …
BENGALURU: India may be home to 15% of the global livestock population, but its contribution to the global methane emissions by the domesticated animals is only 10.63%, a study by the National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology (NIANP) has revealed. Cows, buffaloes, sheep and goats are the huge contributors …
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday it would propose a two-year stay of the previous administration's oil and gas industry methane emissions standards while the agency reconsiders the regulation. The move would extend the 90-day administrative stay announced on May 31 of the 2016 New Source Performance Standards for …
This study forms part of a broader project, supported by the German Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt, UBA), with the primary objective to analyse the current situation and development of the international carbon markets. This report investigates the current situation of existing project-based carbon market activities in the transitional period until a …
Investing in more gas will lock in high electricity prices and pollution for decades to come. The new report, ‘Pollution and Price: The cost of investing in gas,’ shows that tackling climate change and protecting Australians from worsening extreme weather requires electricity system to produce zero emissions before 2050. Gas …
This publication is intended to contribute to the implementation of the livestock and climate change development agenda.

The overall objective of this study is to support Ethiopia in identifying low-cost …
Donald Trump's Presidential Executive Order on Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth states that "it is in the national interest to promote clean and safe development of our Nation's vast energy resources, while at the same time avoiding regulatory burdens that unnecessarily encumber energy production, constrain economic growth, and prevent …
This publication provides an overview to decision-makers and practitioners of the main scientific facts and information regarding the current knowledge and knowledge gaps on Soil Organic Carbon. It highlights how better information and good practices may be implemented to support ending hunger, adapting to and mitigating climate change and achieving …
Crop management practices have a significant impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission rates, where methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from rice paddy fields are in trade-off association. A field study for two consecutive years (2013 and 2014) was conducted to continuously measure CH4 and N2O emissions from rice …
Tlou Energy has partnered with IPC, a British power development company to tender for and develop a coal bed methane (CBM) power plant of up to 100MW at its Lesedi CBM Project in Botswana. In January, Tlou Energy announced that it received a request for proposal (RFP Tender) from the …
• The source of the world’s biggest underwater pool of the powerful greenhouse gas methane has been discovered in the Pacific Ocean by a team of scientists. • The discovery could have implications for humans’ use of the sea as any disturbance could send large amounts of the gas into …
Existing bottom-up emission inventories of methane from global oil and gas systems do not satisfactorily explain year-on-year variation in atmospheric methane estimated by top-down models. Using a novel bottom-up approach this study quantifies and attributes methane and ethane emissions from global oil and gas production from 1980 to 2012. Country-specific …
This publication is intended to contribute to the implementation of the livestock and climate change development agenda. The study evaluates the potential for improving productivity while reducing enteric methane emission intensity from beef production in Uruguay.
