This document assesses the additional electrical capacity that would be required from alternative energy systems to completely replace fossil fuels globally. It finds that replacing the existing fossil fuel infrastructure, including vehicles, industry and heating, would require over 36,000 TWh of additional annual electrical generation capacity. This is over 30% higher than total global electricity production in 2018. It would require building over 586,000 new non-fossil fuel power plants, predominantly solar and wind, to generate this additional electricity. The transition away from fossil fuels towards electrified transportation and industry would be an enormously large undertaking requiring a massive expansion of renewable energy infrastructure worldwide.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

22. Critical Period
The most critical period for the operation of the thermal power plants and the grid as whole is June
July & August 2021. The following reasons are anticipated for this phenomenon.
1. Continuous run of hydro plants due to abundant water supply during monsoon.
2. Quality of coal deteriorates in the monsoon which adversely affects the low load operation of ther
mal plant.
3. Maximum solar generation is available in this period
4. High Wind during monsoons contributes to increased RES generation.
Hence, it may be concluded that if the Indian power system can accommodate full RES generation of
108 GW during the period June to August 2021 and survive, the grid can survive throughout the year.

31. Step 3: RE Curtailment
• Negligible amount of RES curtailment goes
a long way in ensuring integration of clean
power.
• June to August is period of high solar and w
ind generation.
• Almost all curtailment of RE generation will
happen in this period.
• Value of curtailed energy is Rs 658 Cr. c
onsidering rate of energy at Rs.2.50 /kwh

33. Description of Energy Storage
• There are various types of energy storages, such as electric double
layer capacitor (EDLC), BESS, superconducting magnetic energy
storage, flywheel, electrochemical capacitors, pumped storage power
plant, compressed air energy storage, hydrogen
storage, flywheel (FW), plug in electric vehicle (PEV), etc.

35. Electric Vehicles (EV)
• An Electric Vehicle comprise of electric motors powered by a battery
or energy storage device.
• The battery storage capacity and longevity highly decides the EV
performance and reliability.
• EVs are considered zero-emission vehicles because the motors
produce no exhaust or emissions.
• For success of EVs roll out easy availability of charging stations is a
must, this will alleviate the range anxiety as well.
• Certain incentives are required initially for mass roll out of EVs.
36. Pump Storage Plants
• Pumped-storage power plants act as a reversible hydroelectric facility
where the water is pumped uphill into a reservoir from the lower
reservoir. The force of the water flowing back down the hill is then
harnessed to produce electricity in the similar manner as in
conventional hydroelectric plants.
• PSPs can be termed analogous to storage batteries, and are quite
useful in providing the balancing power to mitigate the variability and
intermittency of RE Generation.
37. Floating Solar Power Station
• Floating solar power involves installing solar panels on floating
structures on a body of water, such as lake, ocean, or in a hydropower
reservoir.
• An increase in electricity generation from floating solar PV plants on
account of reduced operating temperature of solar modules could be
observed.
• Water conservation on account of cleaning the solar PV plant, water
comes back to water body.
• Reduction of loss of water on account of evaporation.
38. Fuel Cells
• A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel
into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another
oxidizing agent. Fuel cells are different from batteries in that they
require a constant source of fuel and oxygen to run, but they can
produce electricity continually as long as these inputs are supplied.
• Advantages being clean energy as water is the by product with a zero
carbon footprint, higher efficiency as compared with other prevalent
renewable energy sources and have ease in installation and
operation.
• Challenges includes higher operational cost in transportation and
storage of fuel, that is around 50% as well as high initial capital cost.
39. Giga Scale Batteries
• New technologies are emerging in battery storage technologies. The
plans are there to establish Giga Scale Advance Chemistry Cell (ACC)
manufacturing facilities with certain tax incentives.
• Batteries will find large scale application in Evs roll out programme.
There is a scope of batteries in electrical power system storage,
performing various functions.
40. Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage
• It is a novel technology that stores electricity from the grid within the
magnetic field of a coil comprised of superconducting wire with near-
zero loss of energy.
41. City Gas Distribution(CGD) in India
• CGD sector has four distinct segments – Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
predominantly used as auto-fuel, and Piped Natural Gas (PNG) used in in
domestic, commercial and Industrial segments.
• It has been decided to meet 100% gas requirement of CNG (Transport) and
PNG(Domestic) segments through supply of domestic gas which is cheaper
than imported gas.
• At present, CGD sector is consuming approx. 14.36 Million Metric Standard
Cubic Meter per Day (MMSCMD) of domestic Gas for CNG (Transport) and
PNG (Domestic) sector.
• There is approx. 10.91 MMSCMD of imported Re-gasified Liquefied Natural
Gas (RLNG) used by Commercial and Industrial segment of CGD sector
