30 March. China expects to make the first trade on the long-awaited national emission trading scheme in 2020, as part of Beijing’s efforts to fulfill its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emission. China has spent two years on legal and technical infrastructure construction after it announced its plans to launch the nationwide emission trading scheme (ETS) in 2017. It began setting up pilot trading platforms in 2013 in seven regions across the country but they have not been brought under a unified scheme yet. Coal-fired power is the first industry included into the national ETS, covering around 3 billion tonnes (bt) of greenhouse gas emitted in China every year. China will promote carbon trade in power sectors, Jiang Zhaoli, vice director of the climate change department at the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said.  The government will also include more high-energy consuming industries such as steel, non-ferrous and construction materials, into the scheme. The nationwide ETS aims to cover 8 bt of carbon dioxide emission per annum from around 100,000 industrial plants when the trading scheme is fully launched. The ETS is designed to encourage power utilities and manufacturers to reduce emissions through a market mechanism. Some scholars in China, however, are questioning the necessity of the ETS due to overlapping of policies. On the whole, China also plans to introduce a carbon tax and a renewable power quota system with a similar aim of boosting clean energy consumption and cutting emission at industrial plants. China said it has cut carbon intensity by 45.8 percent in 2018 from the level in 2005, exceeding the target of lowering it 45 percent by 2020. It also pledged to bring emission to a peak by around 2030 as part of its commitments to the 2015 Paris accord.

The recently granted renewable power status and budgetary support for infrastructure associated with large hydro projects is a major positive move, research agency ICRA said. The centre has declared large hydro power projects with capacity of more than 25 MW as renewable energy projects. It has approved a separate HPO under non-solar renewable power obligation to cover large hydro power projects commissioned post notification of the norms. The government has approved HPO and tariff rationalisation norms with the objective to promote large hydro projects, given the slowdown in addition of new capacities in this segment over the past few years. The annual HPO trajectory will be notified by the ministry of power with required amendments to the existing tariff policy and regulations. The tariff rationalisation measures include providing flexibility to the developers to back-load tariff, increasing debt repayment period to 18 years and escalating tariff by two percent. Also, the budgetary support for funding cost of supporting infrastructures such as roads and bridges will be on a case-to-case as per actuals, subject to a limit of Rs15 mn per MW for hydro power projects up to 200 MW and Rs10 mn per MW for hydro power projects above 200 MW. Budgetary support will also be provided for funding flood moderation component of hydro power projects on a case-to-case basis.

This portable charger is great for powering up your phone or tablet on-the-go, but you just might find yourself using it at home, too — because it charges twice as fast as a standard iPhone charger. It features built-in USB and lightning cables, and it’s pass-through charge enabled, which means you can even charge your devices while the charger itself is plugged into the wall. Oh, and, there’s even a built-in flashlight — because why not?

Port officials say they’re working on plan that would include 16,800 square feet of space in the back warehouse for Refresco, as well as 21,600 square feet of upper warehouse space for a second bottling line in Walla Walla.

What a shock to see his obituary in The Oklahoman on Oct. 2. I still have many recipes he has shared and will continue to share them from time to time, because that’s why he sent them. Here is one he shared sometime ago. This one is Easy Pineapple Cake. Note that a 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple will be enough for making the cake and the topping.

"Every incremental barrel that the United States produces will be exported. We’re in a situation, of course, where the quality of what we produce is actually higher than what we need," said Raoul LeBlanc, vice president, North American Unconventional at IHS Markit. "U.S. refineries, which turn crude oil into the products we use, were designed to turn cheap crude oil into high quality and upgrade it into the fuels we use."

Much needed pipeline capacity is being added to take Permian crude from the heart of Texas down to the Gulf Coast, to oil refineries but also to Texas ports that are making plans for more and larger ships to carry oil exports from the U.S. to customers in Asia and elsewhere. The Permian Basin covers an area of more than 75,000 square miles in western Texas and southeastern New Mexico.
