From 2020 to 2040, solar generation in these states jumps nearly ninefold and wind generation more than sevenfold. Our analysis also demonstrates renewables’ power. Emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from power plants in alliance states drop 88 percent and 77 percent respectively by 2040.

Fuel transport – Spring floods can hinder the transportation of fuels like coal. While it is a heavily polluting fossil fuel that is set to continue declining as a fuel source for US electricity generation over the next decade, coal still accounted for roughly 20 percent of the country’s generation in 2022.

Introduction One of the main messages coming out of the recent COP28 meetings in the UAE concerns the role that nuclear power can play in the future of clean energy development around the world. The hope is that this encourages international financial institutions to include nuclear energy in loans for energy projects.

That lower-than-expected electricity demand also makes spring (and the other “shoulder” season, fall) the go-to seasons for fossil fuel and nuclear power plants to go offline for scheduled maintenance—or refueling, in the case of the nuclear plants. Indeed, they are good reasons to focus even more.

This is a signal not only of the country’s unhealthy reliance on fossil fuels but also a failure to move away from gas in a way that other countries have done successfully. Now such a crisis has arisen again.

SMR is a high-carbon process that uses fossil fuels for process heat. They typically refer to fossil SMR hydrogen as “ grey ” hydrogen. There’s also “pink” hydrogen—produced via electrolysis with electricity from nuclear power—and “blue” hydrogen—produced via SMR but with carbon capture and sequestration, among other colors.

India missed its target to install 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022, and is now trying to make up for that by boosting solar, wind, nuclear, hydropower and bio-power to 500 GW by 2030. Overall, India is also looking to boost its share of non-fossil capacity, which can include big hydro and nuclear to 50% by 2030.
