National Electricity Plan: No coal expansion, renewable capacity to dominate in India by 2031-32

Emissions from power sector in a decade expected increase by 10 million tonnes; efficienty of plants to be improved

Nearly half of India’s consumers will not benefit from Centre’s revised domestic gas pricing guidelines

It is also important to regulate and reduce the prices of imported natural gas in order to accelerate our 2030 decarbonisation pathway

Green coal: Can it tackle twin challenges of reducing emission, waste management?

NTPC has recently opened a green coal manufacturing plant in Varanasi; plants are planned in Madurai and Bhopal as well

CSE analysis: Industries in Delhi-NCR shifting to cleaner fuels, but major roadblocks to be addressed

Continuous PNG supply, air pollution control devices, stronger emissions monitoring systems need of the hour

Can carbon capture be new hope for mitigating CO2 emissions?

NTPC Vindhyachal implements carbon capture technology

NGT order on Korba: Can it improve fly ash disposal, utilisation in India

CSE welcomes order, says it will enhance fly ash disposal and utilisation and also help in better ash management 

India’s NDC: Why sector-specific targets are needed for reducing emissions

Focus needed on increasing non-fossil-based power generations, phasing out old thermal power plants

Green fuel targets for NCR industries: Here are some learning points from Alwar, Bhiwadi

Almost half the industries in Alwar moved to cleaner fuels, a survey by the Centre for Science and Environment shows

Biomass electricity: New boiler technology enables use of all agricultural residue

The vibrating grate boiler is greener than conventional boilers 

India’s growing power crisis: Newer, efficient plants lying idle may have role to play

Newer plants that are idle or underutilised have cumulative capacity of 11,140 MW

Union Budget 2022-23: Why CSE disagrees with government’s proposal on coal gasification

The chances to reduce emissions through coal gasification are very remote, says CSE

Biomass co-firing: NTPC retrofits 13 power stations. Will other companies be able to follow suit?

Companies cite several constraints in adopting technology, experts call for government support

PAT: Centre’s decarbonisation scheme not effective enough, says new CSE report

There has been very feeble reduction of CO2 emissions in the thermal sector under this scheme during the last ten years, finds CSE report

Leave control, even effective pollution monitoring not happening at Delhi-NCR’s power plants: CSE

Make continuous emission monitoring system data public for air quality betterment CSE study emphasises

Coal shortage: A dozen states edging towards power crises

Punjab and Rajasthan already cutting power for three hours a day due to non-availability of coal

Power crisis unlikely to improve till electricity demand drops in Punjab

Interstate transmission line and going renewable could solve Punjab power crisis, say experts
