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 …
Technology and high prices are opening up new oil resources, but this does not mean the world is on the verge of an era of oil abundance, according to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) 2013 edition of the World Energy Outlook (WEO-2013). Although rising oil output from North America and …
The United Nation’s Program for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) aims to reduce the 20% contribution to global emissions of greenhouse gases from the forest sector, offering a financial value of the carbon stored in forests as an incentive for local communities. The pre-requisite for the setup …
A new scientific report shows that by moving rapidly to reduce pollutants such as methane and black carbon, could slow warming in critical snow and ice-covered regions while benefitting human welfare. Continued melting in snow and ice-covered regions will rise sea levels further, threaten water resources, and release more carbon …
This report addresses the benefits of drawing down nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. N2O is now the most significant ozone-depleting substance emission and the third most important greenhouse gas released into the atmosphere. Global anthropogenic N2O emissions are rapidly increasing and are expected to almost double by 2050 unless mitigation action …

Environmental federation Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) has released a new report called “Good Energy, Bad Energy: Transforming our energy system for people and the planet”. The report, underlines the importance of a just, sustainable, climate-safe energy system, in the wake of warnings by the world’s leading scientists about …
Poland could halve its demand for coal by 2030 with a shift to renewable energies that would end its image as a laggard in European Union efforts to slow climate change, a study showed on Friday. The report, by researchers in Germany and Poland, renewable energy groups and environmental group …
Mapping the aboveground biomass of tropical forests is essential both for implementing conservation policy and reducing uncertainties in the global carbon cycle. Two medium resolution (500 m – 1000 m) pantropical maps of vegetation biomass have been recently published, and have been widely used by sub-national and national-level activities in …

The policy will seek to tap 5MW of power each from the sun, wind, and biomass AREP 2013: The department of renewable energy (DRE) is in the process of drawing up guidelines and regulations to harness from renewable energy sources at least 25 megawatt (MW) of power by 2025. The …
Demand comes down due to State’s power restrictions on HT consumers The relaxation of power cut restrictions on high tension (HT) consumers can also lead to problems for some. Since the middle of August when the State government lifted the restrictions, about a dozen biomass power plants, which were till …
Environment and forests minister Hasan Mahmud on Sunday slammed Transparency International, Bangladesh for its recent investigation report on the government’s climate change trust fund utilisation. He termed the report ‘a fancied, wrong one prepared without any study’ while addressing at a roundtable on ‘Narrowing the demand-supply gap with commercial biogas …
In the present study, various biomass gasification power-generation models from across the country are evaluated for their techno-economic viability for promotion and scaling up in other states. The case studies compiled here generally describe the decentralized model of electric power generation using biomass gasification technology, with 'agricultural waste' as feedstock. …
Earth scientists studying air pollution have just released a map that shows air pollution deaths over time on a global scale. The stark map shown above was created at NASA Earth Observatory by data visualizer and designer Robert Simmon. This atmospheric computer model shows the average number of deaths per …
A new climate change mitigation project to promote sustainable biomass energy production and modern bio-energy technologies in Sri Lanka commenced with an inception workshop on September 17, 2013. The project is aimed at supporting Sri Lankan industries to meet energy needs from locally sourced fuel wood derived through sustainable practices, …
