The climate bill that the U.S. House of Representatives passed on Friday contains several elements that could begin to push the energy industry away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy.

Paper industry requires large amounts of energy in the form of heat. The energy requirement is met with captive and national grid power. Substantial portion of the energy requirement is met through the generation from the fossil fuels.The industry is also offering tremendous potential to save energy and such savings are CDM opportunities.

With the world going for alternatives to reduce carbon emission, India too is undertaking initiatives to fulfill green dreams. Taking note of it Energetica India conducted interview of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Secretary Deepak Gupta.

This article proposes and investigates a project-based crediting mechanism which based o a national CO2 emission intensity standard for new power plants to be added in the electricity sector from 2013-2020 in developing countries.

The new analysis presents recent and expected emission developments of each country and various other indicators, and gives an overview of the most important activities by the federal governments to respond to the threat of climate change.

Energy efficiency, many types of renewable energy, carbon capture and storage, nuclear power and new transport technologies all need to be deployed widely to curtail greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) while promoting energy security. Every major country and sector of the economy must be involved.

The share of microgeneration (power generation at the level of households and small businesses) in the Dutch electricity system continues to grow. Over time, this development may pose a threat to the reliability and efficiency of the Dutch electricity balancing market. We investigated possible changes to the design of the Dutch balancing market that can maintain or even improve upon its current operational performance level. The first step of the research was an analysis of the existing Dutch balancing market.

Dow and a start-up firm to test process expected to harvest hydrocarbons
Dow Chemical and Algenol Biofuels, a U.S. start-up company, were set to announce Monday that they would build a demonstration plant that, if successful, would use algae to turn carbon dioxide into ethanol for use as a vehicle fuel or an ingredient in plastics.
