Beijing : China, the world’s largest greenhouse gas producer, on Tuesday released an ambitious action plan to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030, according to which the share of non-fossil energy consumption will be about 25 per cent and carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP will drop by more than 65 per cent compared […]
Hope for green future also rests on harnessing hydrogen, trapping carbon dioxide – EQ Mag Pro
Technologies to produce low-carbon fuel and convert harmful emissions into useful products are critical in transition to clean energy. Singapore has set aside S$49 million to fund research and development into hydrogen and carbon capture, utilization and storage technologies over the next five years. Hydrogen, that simplest, most abundant element in the universe, has potential […]
Breakthrough Methods Help Integrate Renewable Hydrogen With Waste Carbon Dioxide To Produce Clean Fuels, Chemicals, and More – EQ Mag Pro
Wind, solar, and battery storage appear to be a winning combination for clean electricity systems, but to make the leap to a sustainable energy system, another ingredient is necessary: low-carbon fuels. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has been collaborating with utilities and startups at the frontlines of high-renewable systems to make the technical and […]

Australia won’t subsidise electric vehicles
The approach is in stark contrast with Norway, which has promoted clean cars through tax breaks, resulting in battery EVs making up 54 per cent of new cars sold in 2020, a global record. MELBOURNE: Australia expects one in four cars sold will be electric vehicles by 2030, but the government said on Friday it […]
U.S. solar stocks rise on Biden’s clean energy focus in pre-election debate
SOLAR-STOCKS/U.S. solar stocks rise on Biden’s clean energy focus in pre-election debate U.S. solar stocks rose on Friday after U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said in the final pre-election debate on Thursday night that if elected he plans to transition to a more climate-friendly economy. Shares of Renesola Ltd, Jinkosolar Holding Co Ltd , […]
Scientists Have Developed A Bacteria That Can Eat Carbon Dioxide
Researchers have devised a method to create bacteria that can consume carbon dioxide to produce biomass. The method can be used for carbon-neutral production of various products as it utilizes carbon dioxide. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a heterotrophic bacterium— it cannot create its own food using photosynthesis. The bacteria is dependent on consuming organic […]
About 100 world cities used 70% of electricity from renewable sources in 2018: Report
Renewables have become integral to city efforts to reduce CO2 and other harmful emissions Cities, at the forefront of energy transition, are increasingly adopting renewable options. At least 100 cities across the world reportedly generated 70 per cent or more of their electricity from renewable energy sources in 2018, according to REN21’s Renewables 2019 Global […]
Japan sets carbon-neutral goal as UK plans climate laws
Japan has joined Britain in pledging to become carbon neutral later this century, as the world races to prevent catastrophic climate change, but critics blasted Tokyo’s plan as unambitious. While Britain on Wednesday outlined plans for fast-track legislation that would reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2050, Japan’s policy only pledges to meet the […]
ADB signs loan to finance SUS Environment’s waste-to-energy project in PRC
ADB’s loan to SUS will expand the PRC’s low-carbon circular economy and make cities more livable, through integrated urban waste management systems. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) signed a $100 million loan with Shanghai SUS Environment Company Limited (SUS) to finance a portfolio of innovative and socially inclusive waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities within low carbon eco-industrial […]
