The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy will be considering multi-purpose geo-thermal energy projects for harnessing geo-thermal energy in the country so as to take up at least one such project in all the potential States in accordance with the R&D Policy guidelines of the Ministry and provide financial support upto 50% of cost of projects,
This special report on renewable energy sources and climate change mitigation (SRREN) of the IPCC working group III provides an assessment and thorough analysis of renewable energy technologies and their current and potential role in the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions.
Breakthroughs in clean energy technology could boost the US economy by more than $155 billion a year and create more than 1.1 million new jobs by 2030, Google said in a report on Tuesday.
The technology roadmap for Geothermal Heat and Power offers a strategic plan to maximise deployment of these energy resources by 2050. It projects that 1 400 TWh of electricity per year could come from geothermal power by 2050, up from 67 TWh at present. Additionally, geothermal heat (not including ground-source heat pump technology) could contribute 5.8 EJ (1600 TWh) annually by 2050.
New Zealand scientists are planning to drill a geothermal borehole 4 km or more deep by 2014 to test the feasibility of extracting super hot geothermal fluids to generate electricity, said a statement released by GNS Science recently.
Researchers from the state-run geothermal and nuclear sciences institute, GNS Science, reckon the energy from the fluids below the Taupo volcanic zone in the cent
Close to 80 percent of the world‘s energy supply could be met by renewables by mid-century if backed by the right enabling public policies says this new report by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Secure, reliable, affordable and clean energy supplies are fundamental to economic and social stability and development. Energy and environmental decision-makers are faced with major challenges that require action now in order to ensure a more sustainable future. More efficient use of, and cleaner primary energy sources can help to achieve this goal.
Inc has not given up on its goal of making renewable energy cheaper than coal for consumers but it is not predicting victory soon, its director of green business operations said.
"We are still moving forward," said Rick Needham, in an interview at the company's office in Washington.
As renewable energy technologies move to the forefront, the energy sphere in the 21st century is set for a major overhaul. Worldwide, studies predict that solar and wind energy will address more than 60% of the future energy needs.
