India Raises Climate Ambition: 47% Emissions Cut, 60% Clean Energy By 2035
Government data shows that between 2005 and 2020, India reduced emissions intensity by 36%, crossed 52% non-fossil fuel capacity in the power mix, and created a 2.3 billion-tonne carbon sink.

Govt Mandates Nationwide Sale Of E20 Petrol With RON 95 From April 2026
Central government mandates E20 petrol with minimum RON 95 nationwide from April 2026, aiming to reduce crude imports, cut emissions, and support farmers through ethanol demand.

NASA Successfully Tests Drag-Reducing Laminar-Flow Wing in Flight
NASA has successfully flown its 40-inch CATNLF laminar-flow wing model aboard an F-15B aircraft in January 2026. The test confirmed the drag-reducing design performs safely in flight. By maintaining smooth airflow over wings, the technology could improve fuel efficiency by up to 10 percent, lowering airline costs and reducing carbon emissions signi...

NASA Tests New Wing Design That Could Transform Airliner Efficiency
NASA engineers have tested a new laminar-flow wing concept at the Armstrong Flight Research Center by mounting a scaled CATNLF model beneath an F-15B aircraft. During high-speed taxi trials reaching about 144 mph, the design demonstrated potential to keep airflow smooth longer, reducing drag. NASA estimates the technology could cut fuel consumption...

Electric Vehicles Lead in Lifecycle Emission Cuts Over Petrol Cars: Report
BEVs emit far less greenhouse gases than ICE vehicles over their lifecycle, IIT Madras report shows - 33 tonnes versus 53.84 tonnes on India's current grid.

Scientists Warn Southern Ocean Could ‘Burp’ Stored Heat, Delaying Global Cooling for 100 Years
New modelling suggests the Southern Ocean could one day release the vast heat it has stored from greenhouse gas pollution. If CO₂ levels were pushed to net-negative, deep convection may trigger a sudden “thermal burp” that warms the planet for decades. Though idealised, the study shows how Antarctica’s surrounding seas could shape long-term...

Coffee Waste Could Make Concrete Stronger and Greener, Scientists Find
New research from RMIT University shows that spent coffee grounds can be transformed into biochar and used to replace a portion of sand in concrete, creating a stronger and more sustainable building material. Heating coffee waste at around 350°C without oxygen produces a fine biochar that boosts concrete’s 28-day strength by roughly 30% when use...

What Trump Quitting The Energy Transition Means For The World
The world has reached a hinge moment in the energy transition. Leaps in technology are making it possible to cut emissions faster and more cheaply than ever. At the same time, US President Donald Trump is reversing efforts to decarbonise the world's

Antarctica Nears Irreversible Climate Tipping Point, Scientists Warn
Antarctica is approaching irreversible climate thresholds, scientists warn. Rapid melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, record-low sea ice, and collapsing ocean systems could raise global sea levels by over 3 m. These interconnected changes threaten coastal cities and ecosystems, urging immediate emission cuts to prevent cascading global consequ...

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Soars to 424PPM, Marking Biggest Yearly Jump Ever
The WMO reports Earth’s atmospheric CO₂ reached 422.8 ppm in 2024 — the biggest annual rise ever recorded. Driven by fossil-fuel emissions, wildfires, and weakening carbon sinks, the surge intensifies global warming. Scientists warn that delayed emission cuts could entrench irreversible changes in weather, ecosystems, and sea levels.
