The EU has made green and digital the two pillars of its recovery plan, aiming to strengthen its leadership in the global fight against climate change, boost innovation and reduce dependence on imports of critical materials.

India's power demand was heavily impacted during the Q1FY21 lockdown (bringing all economic activity to a standstill), falling 15.5% Y-o-Y during Q1FY21 and 7.8% Y-o-Y during 1HFY21.

which enshrines the EU's commitment to reaching climate neutrality by 2050 and the intermediate target of reducing net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 55% by 2030,

The bill is a first step to create legislation that will allow to regulate CO2 emissions in Russia.

"Russia is willing to present a range of joint projects and consider potential benefits even for foreign companies that would like to invest in clean technologies, including in our country," Putin said.

India's crude imports fell 10.3% year on year to 201.5 million mt in 2020, or 4 million b/d, data from the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell showed, as oil products demand in 2020 posted negative growth for the first time in nearly two decades.

"Global carbon emissions are set to jump by 1.5 billion tonnes this year -- driven by the resurgence of coal use in the power sector. This is a dire warning that the economic recovery from the COVID crisis is currently anything but sustainable for our climate," said Fatih Birol, the IEA's executive director.

The US was working with partners in India to launch a US-India Hydrogen Task Force under the US-India Strategic Energy Partnership initiative.

India would not only be pushing hydrogen in the transport sector, but would also expand its use to a range of sectors such as chemicals, iron and steel, heating and power.

President Biden recently introduced a massive infrastructure bill designed to reshape the U.S. economy while addressing infrastructure reform. Biden’s stated goal is to achieve 100 percent carbon-free power by 2035.

Nuclear output fell more than 2 GW week on week to the lowest average nuclear output since Week 40 in 2020.

The agreement aims to advance the global energy transformation towards a net zero energy future particularly in developing countries, in the context of achieving the Paris Agreement objectives and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

President Biden’s American Jobs Plan proposes pumping $2.3 trillion into a slew of sectors over the next eight years.

The fifth strategic energy plan approved by the cabinet in July 2018 promotes conversion to high efficiency and next-generation coal-fired power generation in Japan in return for phasing out inefficient coal use.

The answer lies, at least in part, in focusing on grid modernization, including the expansion of transmission capacity, increased use of energy storage systems, microgrids and digital solutions, and the adoption of a more coordinated national policy to make this possible.
