The study found that DG sets account for approximately 7%–18% of total particulate matter in cities that failed to meet air quality targets. Bengaluru Urban, Mumbai, Patna, Gautam Buddha Nagar (Noida), and North 24 Paraganas in West Bengal have the highest PM2.5 emission coming from diesel generator (DG) sets with serious implications on human health. In a recent report titled, “Switch on, Smoke off: Reducing Emissions from Diesel Generator Sets”, the Center for Study of Sci

Transforming methane emissions into natural gas can save as much as Norway’s annual gas export Despite carbon abatement pledges by countries, methane emission levels continue to remain high. The fossil fuel industry, especially, constitutes one-third of the global methane emissions from human activities, according to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) ‘Global Methane Tracker 2025‘. Limited mitigation measures, combined with global production of oil, gas and coal, has kep

A new report combines hyperlocal monitoring and advanced data analytics to decode city-level pollution patterns, revealing granular insights into urban air quality hotspots. India’s urban areas have much more localised and varied air pollution than was previously thought. A new report has provided an analysis of air quality across 10 major Indian cities, including hyperlocal insights into pollution hotspots. The report identified critical pollution hotspots across 10 Indian c

Methane emissions from 29 meat and dairy companies are comparable with emissions from the top 100 fossil fuel corporations, according to the report by Greenpeace As countries prepare for COP29 next month, activists all over the world are intent on pulling up one of the biggest methane emitters: meat and dairy industry. Some of the targeted corporations include Fonterra, Arla, Müller and Danish Crown. Estimated methane emissions of this industry have now eclipsed emissions rel

Delhi’s air quality improved marginally, yet it was the most polluted city between October 1, 2022 and September 30, 2023, says the report A list of the 10 most polluted cities in the last year showed that Delhi and other cities in the National Capital Region (NCR) still dominate air pollution rankings, according to a new report. Seven cities in the top 10 are in Delhi-NCR and Bihar, both part of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. In this report by Respirer Living Sciences and Climate
