Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is emerging as a critical lever in the power sector’s decarbonisation strategy. In the near term, retrofitting existing coal- and gas-based power plants with CCUS can significantly reduce their […]
Natural gas gensets are quieter and cleaner as compared to diesel-based gensets. The availability of natural gas in large quantities, relatively lower price of natural gas as well as growing concerns over carbon footprint and […]
India’s clean energy transition is largely driven by renewable capacity expansion. While the large capacity addition of renewables is a welcome development, it may not be sufficient to help further the energy transition agenda in […]
Coal has been the major energy resource of India. The country is short of oil and gas, but coal reserves are relatively abundant. Coal has been the mainstay of our energy use. […]
India’s reliance on coal as the dominant source of power generation continues, with it accounting for about 75 per cent of the total generation in 2017-18. However, the segment faces multiple challenges. Slow capacity addition, […]
Can the revised environmental norms for thermal power plants be a catalyst for the growth of the equipment industry? Industry observers say the answer is yes. The power equipment industry has been hit hard in […]
Aimed at regulating the pollution caused by thermal power plants, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) revised the standards for emissions from thermal power plants in December 2015. Apart from tightening the […]
Pollution levels in Delhi have assumed significant proportions over the past few years, resulting in very poor ambient air quality. The average PM (particulate matter) 2.5 level has shown an increase from 153 in 2013 to […]
As cement companies aim to lower their energy costs and meet the regulatory requirements under the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme, energy efficiency initiatives feature high on their agenda. The heads of leading cement […]
Coal is a key source for meeting India’s power requirement, contributing about 80 per cent to the total generation. Its position in the Indian power sector is most likely to remain strong in the coming […]
