On March 28, 2023, the Minister of Energy, RK Singh, informed the Rajya Sabha that India’s thermal power plants produced 0.9675 metric tons of carbon dioxide per megawatt-hour during the 2021-22 period. According to the Minister, several power plants have implemented advanced technologies to enhance their efficiency. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the entire Flue … Read more
A few days ago, the first report estimating the amount of carbon dioxide captured on the planet was published. CO₂ is one of the greenhouse gases responsible for climate change that is already experienced on the planet and one of the strategies to mitigate its impacts has been captured. However, the evaluation details, these efforts are insufficient … Read more
The official publication of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States has made public a study related to the great capacity of brown algae to absorb carbon dioxide from the air, surpassing even that of terrestrial forests, for which reason they play a decisive role in the atmosphere and climate. The study by … Read more
A team of researchers measuring carbon emissions found that carbon emissions have increased over a decade. However, they also found that carbon emissions from gas and electricity have decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study from Nagoya University (Japan). To assess changes over time in the carbon footprint, the research group recorded electricity, … Read more
Despite the fact that emissions due to forest fires tend to decrease globally, some regions recorded records in 2022. An annual balance was published by the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) on Tuesday. Throughout 2022 (until December 10) some 1,455 megatons of carbon emissions were produced. And they occurred as a consequence of these forest fires. This … Read more
By carrying out our daily activities, each and every one of us is responsible for releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is known as a carbon footprint. When we collectively generate more carbon than the Earth can assimilate, the extra CO2 contributes to climate change. Even the most harmless daily activities, such as Internet … Read more
The investments of the world’s 125 richest people emit 393 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) each year, a million times more than those in the bottom 90 per cent of income. humanity, says a new study by the anti-poverty coalition Oxfam. Billionaires responsible Nafkote Dabi, the coalition’s climate change leader, stated that “these few billionaires … Read more
Climate Kahani | इस बात में दो राय नहीं कि वैश्विक ग्रीनहाउस गैस एमिशन (Carbon Emission) में वृद्धि हुई है, लेकिन पिछले दशक के औसत के मुक़ाबले यह बहुत कम मात्रा में हुआ है। अंतर्राष्ट्रीय ऊर्जा एजेंसी का तो मानना है कि रिन्यूबल बिजली उत्पादन और इलेक्ट्रिक वाहनों के तेजी से बढ़ते चलन ने एमिशन … Read more
The war between Russia and Ukraine has put on the table the level of greenhouse gas emissions from the armies, whose calculation is complicated to evaluate, experts explain at COP27. “It’s a sector with significant emissions and no one has really addressed that issue,” Axel Michaelowa, head of the international climate policy research group at … Read more
In April this year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released an assessment report on global progress towards slowing climate change. Carbon markets arise with the intention of obtaining the necessary emission reductions (targets) at the lowest cost: whoever can carry out the reduction actions at a not-very-high cost, carries them out. Whoever costs … Read more
