Australia’s energy minister has ruled out a ban on new coal mines as part of the country’s overhaul of climate policy.

Current hydrogen production technologies release significant carbon emissions, and up until now, cost has limited expansion to green hydrogen technologies.

We can replace all crude oil with cellulosic biomass (corn stover, forest debris, etc.) liquid drop-in hydrocarbons if the conversion process uses massive external sources of heat and hydrogen.

World electricity demand remained resilient in 2022 amid the global energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Demand rose by almost 2% compared with the 2.4% average growth rate seen over the period 2015-2019.

The transition to a low-carbon world requires a range of other energy sources and technologies, including low-carbon hydrogen, modern bioenergy, and carbon capture, use and storage.

India plans to spend US$4.3bn on energy transition through the Ministry of Petroleum and Gas, including programs for green fuel, green energy, green farming, green mobility, green buildings, and green equipment and policies for efficient use of energy across various economic sectors.

As the world seeks to address climate and biodiversity challenges and move to clean energy solutions for example, these will deliver impacts within the workplace.

The Biden-Harris Administration, through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), today announced up to $47 million in funding to accelerate the research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) of affordable clean hydrogen technologies.

DOE also released an RFI seeking input on nearly $9 billion for the Home Energy Rebate Program, funded by President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act that will provide record breaking funding to help Americans cut energy costs in their homes through energy efficiency and electrification of home appliances and equipment.

The deal is also intended to support Vietnam’s new target of accelerating the peaking of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 2030 (from 2035 previously) and reducing its peak annual power sector emissions by up to 30%, to 170 MtCO2eq from 240 MtCO2eq.
