Mapping India’s Energy Policy 2022: How can public support mobilize private investments for India’s clean energy transition?
This session examines how the Government of India has used public resources to support fossil fuels, renewables, and electric vehicles from FY 2014 to FY 2021.
India Must Significantly Step Up Clean Energy Subsidies to Meet its 2030 Targets
A new report by IISD and CEEW finds that to achieve 2030 clean energy targets, more support—which may include subsidies—will be needed to scale up solar manufacturing, green hydrogen, and promising decentralized renewable energy technologies.
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'.
Policy Watch: UK's windfall tax shows why the drive to stop fossil fuel subsidies is still stuck in first gear
When the UK government announced a windfall tax on oil and gas companies to partly offset soaring household fuel bills in May, it sweetened the pill with a tax break on new oil and gas production.
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.
Mapping India's Energy Policy 2022
Looking at how the Government of India has supported different types of energy from FY 2014 to FY 2021, this report aims to improve transparency, create accountability, and encourage a responsible shift in support away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy.
Industrial Electrification
The Canadian industrial sector uses electricity to power more than 25% of its energy needs. It must ramp this up to 41% by 2050 while simultaneously reducing its total energy consumption.
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.
