India adopted its first National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) in 2008. The plan outlines existing and future policies and programmes directed at climate change mitigation and adaptation through eight national missions running up to 2017. The missions are wide ranging, targeting energy efficiency and renewable energy, as well as other climate change related issues. The various missions each have a lead ministry that is responsible for developing objectives, implementing strategies, timelines, and monitoring. The Prime Minister Council for Climate Change is responsible for undertaking periodic reviews and reporting on the missions' progress. The missions are listed below, with the missions related to energy efficiency described in further detail.

National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) (mission 7): The NMEEE consists of four initiatives to enhance energy efficiency in energy intensive industries. The plan recommends mandating specific energy consumption decreases in large energy-using industries, including a system for companies to trade energy-savings certificates. It also highlights the use of incentives, including reduced taxes on energy-efficient appliances. Finally, it recommends financing for public-private partnerships for demand-side management (DSM) programmes that reduce energy consumption in the municipal, buildings and agricultural sectors. This is enabled through the following four mechanisms.The Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme -is a regulatory instrument to reduce specific energy consumption in energy intensive industries, with an associated market based mechanism to enhance the cost effectiveness through certification of excess energy savings, which can be traded.

Market Transformation for Energy Efficiency (MTEE) -aims to help accelerate the shift to energy efficient appliances in designated sectors through innovative measures such as incentives and innovative business models.

The Energy Efficiency Financing Platform (EEFP) -provides a platform to interact with financial institutions and project developers for implementation of energy efficiency projects.

The Framework for Energy Efficient Economic Development (FEEED) -encompasses the development of fiscal instruments to leverage finance for energy efficiency through risk mitigation and provision of equity investment.

National Mission for Sustainable Habitat (mission 1): The plan seeks to promote energy efficiency as an essential component of urban planning. It calls for extending the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC), and emphasises urban waste management and recycling, including power production from waste. In the transport sector it calls for stronger enforcement of automotive fuel economy standards, using pricing measures to encourage the purchase of efficient vehicles, and providing incentives for the use of public transportation

Other missions include the National Water Mission (2), National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem (3), National Mission for a Green India (4), National Mission for Sustainable agriculture (5), National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change (6), and the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) (8).

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
