Punjab stares at power crisis with coal supplies running out
The current requirement of electricity per day in the state is 6,000 megawatts (MW) and it is largely met through purchase from the national grid Chandigarh: Punjab is heading towards major power outage with its thermal plants facing a deficiency of coal in wake of non-plying of goods trains in the state for almost a […]
China Seeks to Dent Its Coal Addiction With Mega Power Complexes
Imagine a power plant built next to a coal mine but also operating wind turbines and solar panels. The facility hosts batteries to store electricity when supply is in excess. The main source of power could flip from the fossil fuel to clean energy, depending on weather and price. Spending billions of dollars to integrate […]
Retrofitting Coal Power Plants With Carbon Capture May Lead To Increased Water Stress
Addition of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to reduce emissions could stress water resources in a vast proportion of coal-fired power plants in India that are already exposed to water scarcity, a study has warned. A study by University of Berkeley researchers reveals that as much as 32% of the world’s coal-fired power plants […]
