We have been putting hydrogen to use since at least the 17th century, decades before anyone really knew what it was — before Henry Cavendish first recognized it as a distinct element and named it in 1766. There are numerous ways to utilize hydrogen to enrich our lives: we use it for heat, for light, […]
What will it take for nuclear power to meet the climate challenge? – EQ Mag
Nuclear power can be an important part of the energy transition. Scaling the industry to meet increasing electricity demand will require leaders to mobilize quickly and efficiently. The power sector will play a critical role in the net-zero transition. Power generation contributes about 30 percent of global CO2 emissions, primarily from combustion of fossil fuels. […]
Future-proofing flexible Wärtsilä engine power plants for decarbonised energy systems – EQ Mag
As established, modern and flexible engine power plants are an ideal solution as balancing power, due to their flexibility in both fuels and operation profiles. This is needed as batteries alone cannot fulfill the balancing need for fluctuating renewable power sources. Flexible capacity must be ready to start quickly at any time and capable of […]
Global energy-related CO2 emissions edged up to record high in 2022 – IEA – EQ Mag
LONDON : Global energy-related emissions of carbon dioxide hit a record high last year, although more clean technology such as solar power and electric vehicles helped limit the impact of increased coal and oil use, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Thursday. Deep cuts in emissions, mainly from burning fossil fuels, will be needed […]
CO2 Emissions in 2022 – EQ Mag
Playing offense with green tech to achieve net-zero emissions – EQ Mag
Technology holds the key to unlocking decarbonization by identifying emission hot spots and pinpointing the areas of biggest impact. The pressure is mounting for companies to deliver on their ambitious carbon reduction goals, and technology has a critical role to play in helping them get there. Almost two-thirds of Fortune 500 companies have set ambitious […]
Hydrogen fuel pumps are on the way in Australia — so how long until the vehicles arrive? – EQ Mag
Hydrogen fuel trials are emerging across Australia, but a project in Tasmania is seeking to create an entirely renewable energy-generated supply chain — from green hydrogen production through to distribution. The state will soon have hydrogen fuel pumps at several service stations as governments and the private sector combine to try fast-track the uptake of […]
Goa needs to reduce CO2 emissions by 189mn tonne by 2050 – EQ Mag Pro
Panaji: Goa must reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 189 million tonne to make it a zero-emission state by 2050, the Goa State Energy Action Plan (GSEAP) has revealed. “In the next 30 years, Goa’s transport sector needs to eliminate almost 97 million tonne of carbon dioxide, followed by the power sector with 63 million tonne […]
CO2 emissions declined in the year 2020 in Indian Aviation Sector and to continue further – EQ Mag Pro
DGCA compiles CO2 emissions data based on the information received from the Indian scheduled carriers. Details of CO2 emissions from 2016 to 2020 may be seen at Annexure. The CO2 emissions have increased till 2019 and declined in the year 2020. Steps to address the issue of CO2 emission include the following: (i) Measures taken […]
Climate action on CO2 emissions alone won’t prevent extreme warming: study – EQ Mag Pro
To control climate change, the world must go beyond cutting carbon dioxide emissions and curb lesser-known pollutants such as nitrous oxide playing a key role in warming the planet, new research suggests. Decades of global climate discussions have focused on CO2 emissions, which are most abundant in the atmosphere. The common goal of reaching “net-zero” […]
