How can the ocean contribute renewable energy to the African ‘Blue Economy’, bringing opportunities to millions of Africans and reducing or replacing carbon emissions, and which strategic actions can help it reach this potential? This background paper is an overview of offshore renewable energy sources across coastal Africa, including a …
Oceans contain vast renewable energy potential – theoretically equivalent to more than double the world's current electricity demand. Nascent ocean energy technologies could cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power generation and help to ensure a sustainable, climate-safe energy future. Alongside other offshore renewable energy technologies, ocean energy – including …
The Ministry of Earth Sciences, (MoES) will set up an Ocean thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) power plant at a cost of `100 crore in Lakshadweep in Kaviratti island. The project which will be commissioned in 2017 was announced at the CSIR-National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) Platinum Jubilee Foundation day celebrations …
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of developing 'blue economy' to complement India's economic trajectory is getting onto the drawing board, with the development of an indigenous technology to tap ocean energy. India's maiden Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) project is coming up in Kavaratti, capital of the Lakshadweep archipelago, off …
For the first time in four decades, the world's gross domestic product (GDP) rose in 2014 without a coinciding rise in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, according to the Renewables 2015 Global Status Report. The report also finds that 2014 was a record year for wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, …
Ocean Power Technologies Inc. (OPTT) is canceling plans to build a renewable-energy project off the coast of Australia that’s not “commercially viable.” The company said its Australian unit, Victorian Wave Partners, is stopping all work on the project, according to a filing today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. …
Wave energy conversion and ocean thermal energy conversion are two potentially significant sources of renewable energy that are available to help ADB's developing member countries reduce their dependence on fossil-fuel based energy generation and bolster energy security. This report summarizes wave energy conversion and ocean thermal energy conversion information that …
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a fairly new technology which uses the ocean’s natural thermal gradient to produce energy to drive a powerproducing cycle. Considering the fact that the ocean’s layers of water have different temperatures, an OTEC system can produce a significant amount of power. The oceans are …
In May 2011, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) presented its report on potential of renewable energy (RE) which emphasizes significant future role of RE in cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and powering sustainable development. A global team of technological experts and scientists reviewed over 160 scenarios on the …
Both Countries Have Announced Oil Exploration Plans In Other’s Waters New Delhi: The oceans are the new theatre of India-China competition, but one with possible security implications. Soon after India announced its decision to go ahead with oil exploration in South China Sea with Vietnam, China on Saturday said it …
In this article, an attempt is made to answer the question: Can renewable energy sources eventually supply India’s electricity needs in the future? The estimates made here indicate that even with a frugal per capita electricity need of 2000 kWh/annum and a stabilized population of 1700 million by 2070, India …
Close to 80 percent of the world‘s energy supply could be met by renewables by mid-century if backed by the right enabling public policies says this new report by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Close to 80 percent of the world‘s energy supply could be met by renewables by mid-century …
This, the 22nd edition of the World Energy Council's Survey of Energy Resources (SER), is the latest in a long series of reviews of the status of the world
LOCKHEED MARTIN is best known for building stealth fighters, satellites and other military equipment. But since late 2006 the company has taken on a different kind of enterprise
Climate change has been identified as one of the greatest challenge by all the nations, government, business and citizens of the globe. The threats of climate change on our green planet
A SQUABBLE over foreign exchange is holding up India's first bid to commercially harness energy from the ocean. The government has agreed, in principle, to allow Sea Solar Power Corp -- a private US firm -- to set up a 100 mw plant off the Tamil Nadu coast using ocean …
