Building constructive relationships with host communities is crucial for the successful deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), a clean energy technology that can help reduce carbon pollution, according to a new report by the World Resources Institute (WRI).
A new financial product aimed at driving investment into energy-efficiency projects performed by Indian energy service companies (ESCOs) is being launched this week by the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) and the World Resources Institute (WRI).

This report examines how low-carbon technologies have
been introduced, adapted, deployed, and diffused in three
greenhouse gas-intensive sectors in China: supercritical/ultrasupercritical (SC/USC) coal-fired
power generation technology; onshore wind energy technology; and blast furnace top gas recovery turbine (TRT)
technology in the steel sector.
Wind power is a nascent industry in the
United States, but has the potential to spur job
creation. Several studies show that wind power
creates more jobs than power generation from
fossil fuels.
This summary provides a concise overview of the carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) and related provisions in the American Power Act, released as a discussion draft by Senators John
