Manufacturing blue hydrogen emits 20 percent more carbon than burning natural gas or coal for heat Hydrogen – considered a clean source of energy – could lead to higher greenhouse gas emissions than coal, according to a new study by researchers at Cornell and Stanford Universities. The study examined the greenhouse-gas emissions generated by the production of “blue” hydrogen. The process uses steam heat to turn natural gas into carbon […]
Operation of the world’s largest solar powered hydrogen plant began on 20 April 2021 in China. The project, owned by Baofeng Energy Group, uses a 200-MW solar power plant located in northwest China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region to electrolyze water to make “green” hydrogen, which replaces coal. In May 2020 Chinese coal miner Baofeng Energy announced that it had commenced construction of what will be the world’s largest solar-powered hydrogen […]
China issued on Thursday 12 August 2021, a broad-ranging white paper titled Moderate Prosperity in All Respects:Another Milestone Achieved in China’s Human Rights. Part 8 of the white paper dealt with China’s environmental improvements. According to the white paper: The air has become cleaner. China’s CO2 emissions per 10,000 yuan of GDP in 2020 fell by 48.4 percent from 2005, achieving the goal of a 40-to-45 percent fall during this […]
The U.N. climate panel’s new report sounded a dire warning, saying the world is dangerously close to runaway warming – and that humans are “unequivocally” to blame. The landmark report on climate change was released on Monday by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations expert body for assessing the science related to climate change. Unless immediate, rapid and large-scale action is taken to reduce emissions, the […]
Canadian companies have the greatest share of foreign investment in Amazon energy and mining projects while companies headquartered in China control scarcely 10% across the hydropower and extractives sectors, according to new data published by US think-tank the Inter-American Dialogue. China is the biggest foreign investor in renewable hydro–electricity power in the Amazon but Canadian companies have the most shares across environmentally risky sectors, new data shows. “I don’t think anyone knew […]
Since the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was proposed in 2013, China has invested and constructed more than 80 hydropower projects globally across six continents. While helping different regions raise standards of living and stimulate their economies, these projects also demonstrate the concept of “green development” in their design, construction and operation procedures. In addition to obeying local rules and green development guidelines under the BRI framework, Chinese companies have […]
Plants plays an essential role in maintaining the global environment and supporting human development. China has over 35,000 species of higher plants, about 10% of the world flora, which made it the 3rd largest plant species home in the world. China is also one of the four origin centers of cultivated plants in the world, and known as the “Mother of World Gardens”, as well as being one of the […]
The world’s largest offshore converter station has been installed at the Jiangsu Rudong offshore wind farm in China’s Yellow Sea. The 22,000-ton, 15-story steel giant house will provide electricity for 1.36 million households. The Three Gorges Rudong converter station is the first offshore ±400 kV wind power flexible DC transmission project in China. The station will be used to collect 1,100 MW of electric energy from three wind farms -H6, […]
China has made a great progress in afforestation across the country in the first half of 2021, according to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration (NFGA), which said that China had expanded the country’s forest coverage by about 3 million hectares by the end of June, carrying out 84.3 percent of the country’s yearly afforestation plan. China adopted its national tree-planting initiative 40 years ago. Since then, the forest coverage […]
One-third of white-tailed deer, a familiar sight on US lawns and golf courses, in the north-eastern United States have antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 — a sign that they have been infected with the virus. The findings, revealed by an analysis of samples collected after the pandemic began, represent the first detection of widespread exposure to the virus in a population of wild animals, says Arinjay Banerjee, a virologist at the University […]
