Fossil fuel subsidies in India nine times higher than renewable energy: Study

Fossil fuel subsidies by the Union government have fallen 742% since 2014 but the subsidies on coal, oil and gas increased by nine times in 2021-22, a new study said. Researchers from International Institute of Sustainable Development (IISD) and Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) on Tuesday released its study 'Mapping India's Energy Policy 2022: Aligning support and revenues with net-zero future'.

Deep Seabed Mining and the Green Energy Transition

On March 8, 2022, the price of nickel doubled overnight. Fueled by the war in Ukraine, fears of supply disruptions briefly drove the cost of nickel contracts over $100,000-a-ton. The London Metal Exchange, the main global market for industrial metals, suspended trading for a week, canceling billions of dollars worth of trades.

Scaling Up Clean Electricity

We need to leverage Canada's clean and renewable resources and expertise to deploy significant power generation capacity over the coming decades. After many years of next to no growth in demand, the electricity sector now needs to accommodate at least a doubling of current electricity consumption by 2050.

Study warns nearly half of fossil fuel sites need to be shut down to avoid climate disaster

A new study published on May 17 has revealed that nearly half of all existing fossil fuel production sites need to be closed down if global warming is to stay below the 1.5C threshold, the internationally agreed-upon target for avoiding a climate disaster. The research indicates that just halting the construction of new fossil fuel infrastructure is simply not enough.

The evaporating case for gas

If we want a power system dominated by clean, renewable energy, we need lots of natural gas - or so we are told. This drumbeat, which has set up gas as a "critical transition fuel", has been meted out by government ministers, the oil and gas lobby, some serious researchers and everyone of varying degrees of cynicism in between.
