Burning coal is the dirtiest, most old-fashioned way to produce electricity in the energy industry today.

However, in the coming years many governments and energy companies are hoping to reinvent coal as a cleaner, more modern form of energy in the coming years, as they try to reconcile energy security with the need to halt climate change.

It did not take long for biofuels to turn from one of the darlings of the environmental movement to the bugbear.

New Delhi: Tata Motors, the new owner of Ford's Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR), has started taking steps to reduce emissions from the two British marques to drive within the stricter norms that are expected to come in force across the European Union from 2012.

Tata Motora MD Ravi Kant told TOI that a number of measures could be taken up by JLR to cut emissions. "Surely Jaguar and Land Rover are conscious of the direction in which things are moving and, of course, they will take adequate measures to see that they comply with the norms," he said.

Despite the economic downturn and rising prices, global energy demand continues to rise; so do carbon emissions.

Washington: Scientists in the United States have created the world

EUROPEAN Union lawmakers voted to cut in half, to 5%, an ambitious target for using crop-based biofuels for European road transport needs by 2020.

A US$100 billion US government investment over two years could create 2 million "green" jobs in such industrial sectors as steel and construction, environmental and labor groups said on Tuesday.

"From the point of view of the steelworkers union, the view is quite simple, that a energy efficient green economy creates jobs and it can create jobs in America," said Leo Gerard, international president of the United Steelworkers.
He said the US move toward wind power has already prompted the reopening of two struggling steel mills, now making steel plate for use in new windmills.
