The Punjab Energy Development Agency has released a draft green hydrogen policy aiming to achieve a green hydrogen and ammonia production capacity of 100 kilo tonnes per annum by 2030. The policy proposes extending incentives under the existing “Punjab Industrial and Business Development Policy 2022” to new green hydrogen and …
Coimbatore, Aug. 30 The Hosur-based Growmore Biotech has developed a bamboo variety called Beema that is rich in biomass yields. The high-yielding clone is thorn-less, thick-walled, non-flowering and responsive to field management practice.
It's an odd week for fuel sources. On the heels of a Mountain Dew powered engine, UK supermarket Tesco is getting flack for turning meat into energy-yah, you read that right. The food chain is burning 5,000 tons of inedible meat for fuel. The biomass processing is being handled by …
The green technology is gaining ground in Bangladesh, as several sectors are adopting the innovations, thanks to growing campaigns against carbon emissions, the lead contributor to global warming. The idea behind green technology encompasses evolving new methods and techniques to generate energy for production of non-toxic products. The concept -- …
150 research papers and over 40 posters presented 205 participants shared their expertise CHENNAI: An International Conference on Algal Biomass, Resources and Utilisation (ICABRU- 2009) was organised in the city recently by the Krishnamurthy Institute of Algology and the Department of Plant Biology and Plant Biotechnology of Stella Maris College. …
This report presents a side-by-side comparison of fuels and vehicles with the recognition that future technological advances or additional research into unresolved issues, such as the land-use impact of biofuel production, could alter findings and make certain options more or less attractive. The report examines the benefits and challenges of …
Lantana camara Linn. is a noxious weed posing a serious threat to the ecology. It demands concrete efforts for its management. L. camara was evaluated for its pulp and paper making properties. Data on chemical constituents, fibre dimensions, unbleached, bleached yield and physical strength properties of pulp sheets were obtained.
This article focuses on the use of plantations to produce biomass energy products. This integration of trees with (potential) intercropping in the agricultural system is called agro-forestry. However, if the demand for renewable energy from biomass sources is to be met, large plots of agricultural land will have to be …
This book provides relevant information on the significant opportunities that bio-carbon can offer to Eastern and Southern Africa countries to participate in the carbon market, it compiles eleven papers relating specific aspects of the bio-carbon sector. The main goal was to raise awareness amongst carbon project developers and other stakeholders …
Casuarina equisetifolia L. and Lantana camara L. leaf litter, sugarcane bagasse and empty oil palm fruit bunch (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) were converted into charcoal using carbonization process. An increase in temperature from 200
Forestry is at the centre-stage of global climate change negotiations. This is because forests have the potential to be a carbon sink as well as a source of carbon emissions. This publication provides a useful snapshot of the carbon value of India
The assessment of energy and greenhouse gas balances is part of a larger effort by UN-Energy to provide decision making tools and aids to Governments and others involved in the planning and implementation of bioenergy development. The report
There has been considerable and growing interest in forest carbon and its role in international climate change policy. This interest stems from the substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that arise from the forestry sector and the potential for forests to deliver cheap-and-deep emission reductions. Forest Carbon Accounting: Overview & Principles …
This review provides an overview of the potential for bioenergy and the challenges associated with its increased deployment. It discusses opportunities and risks in relation to resources, technologies, practices, markets and policy. The aim is to provide insights into the opportunities and required actions for the development of a sustainable …
Climate change disrupts ecological systems in many ways. Many documented responses depend on species' life histories, contributing to the view that climate change effects are important but difficult to characterize generally. However, systematic variation in metabolic effects of temperature across trophic levels suggests that warming may lead to predictable shifts …
This paper analyzes biofuels certification within the optic of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and proposes requirements for compliance with the international trading system. The paper explains how the compatibility of a biofuels-certification measure with international trade rules is determined from several perspectives, to determine whether the nondiscrimination rules of …

The second oil crisis of 1979 had just ended when the Government of Sri Lanka decided in 1982 to place energy efficiency and demand management as the top priority, with the energy ministry functioning directly under the President. By 1983, burdened with a severe drought requiring more thermal power generation …
