In its latest climate plan, Sri Lanka is ruling out new coal power and aiming to reach 70 percent clean electricity by 2030, an important milestone on its way to reaching its goal of a carbon-neutral electricity generation system by 2050, Climate Home News reported.

Over 260,000 kilometres of river could potentially be severed by planned hydroelectric developments according to McGill University researchers.

“Blue” hydrogen – an energy source that involves a process for making hydrogen by using methane in natural gas – is being lauded by many as a clean, green energy to help reduce global warming.

Turning cities’ wastewater into usable freshwater is an environmental win.
