<p>Nowadays, several efforts are being made to reduce carbon emissions in every walk of life. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>In this attempt, airports are also making efforts to use new equipment. One such thing is a TaxiBot. &nbsp;</p>

<p>As Russian forces have started to 'exert intense fire' on multiple fronts, the United States (US) has delivered "more than half" of the howitzers to Ukraine as of Wednesday, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said. &nbsp;</p>

<p>On facing shortage of domestic supplies of cooking oil and soaring prices, Indonesia has imposed a complete ban on palm oil exports on Thursday. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The ban has led to a huge crisis in the world as the country is the world's largest producer of the commodity, said media reports. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>It may also lead to the destabilisation of global vegetable oil market, where the prices are already hitting peak. &nbsp;</p>

On facing shortage of domestic supplies of cooking oil and soaring prices, Indonesia has imposed a complete ban on palm oil exports on Thursday. The ban has led to a huge crisis in the world as the country is the world's largest producer of the commodity, said media reports.

On facing shortage of domestic supplies of cooking oil and soaring prices, Indonesia has imposed a complete ban on palm oil exports on Thursday. The ban has led to a huge crisis in the world as the country is the world's largest producer of the commodity, said media reports. It may also lead to the destabilisation of global vegetable oil market, where the prices are already hitting peak. The ban has also brought bad news for India, which is the world's biggest importer of palm oil.
