The high air pollution levels in the northern states of India during the months of October and November have become a yearly phenomenon. This is mainly due to the burning of paddy straw in the […]
India’s renewable energy capacity has grown by leaps and bounds in a few short years, on the back of major auctions for utility-scale solar and wind power projects. The increase in the scale and size […]
By N.S. Mohan, CEO, SLPP “RE-NEW”, and Praveen Mohan Badiger, COO, SLPP “RE-NEW” Compressed biogas (CBG), which is essentially an enriched form of biogas with over 90 per cent methane, has emerged as a promising […]
Despite the sector having already achieved its target of installing 10 GW of bioenergy projects by 2022, the potential of this segment remains largely untapped. According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, India […]
Over the past decade, India’s net power generation capacity has increased by 212 GW – nearly the total grid size of France. Roughly 40 per cent of this addition came from renewable energy sources, including […]
Renewable energy has established itself as a preferred source for meeting energy needs across countries. Having added an unprecedented 200 GW of renewable capacity through the year, the total renewable power capacity (including hydropower) stood […]
Enabled by strong policy support, incentives and focused attention from the government, India’s renewable energy sector has attracted many domestic and international players, including several entrepreneurs. Large and small independent power producers (IPPs), power utilities, diversified business houses, […]
In the past one year, the policy and regulatory environment in the renewable energy sector has experienced disruptions caused by Covid-19 and the financial stress of discoms. During the lockdown following the onset of the […]
Derived from a plethora of green feedstock, bioenergy provides a clean alternative to meet the energy needs. There has been a steady growth in the biomass-based power capacity in India over the years, albeit slower […]
The government has been offering a conducive environment to Indian developers in the bioenergy space towards the production of biofuels. To this end, in May 2018, the National Biofuel Policy was launched to achieve 10 […]
The pace of poverty reduction in villages, mostly of farmers and landless labourers, has been much slower than the progress achieved by educated Indians living in urban areas and working in organised and industrial sectors. […]
As the country moves ahead with industrialisation and urbanisation, there is expected to be significant waste generation. As per the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, municipal solid waste generation across India will reach […]
With India undergoing rapid urbanisation, waste generation is also rising in the country. Improper handling is slowly making this waste unmanageable. Moreover, as India’s economy is largely agrarian, a huge amount of agricultural waste is […]
India’s national capital generates a staggering 8,700 tonnes of waste daily. The majority of the waste is sent to the three waste dumping sites in the city – Bhalswa, Ghazipur and Okhla. While the height […]
In January 2016, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, was announced to be one of the early beneficiaries of the smart city programme. Within four months of its selection, the city commissioned an ambitious municipal solid waste (MSW)-to-energy […]
Bamboo, a renewable lignocellulosic material and non-food biomass, has immense potential as a renewable fuel. It can be used as an energy source by converting into solid, liquid and gaseous fuels. India is one of […]
Indian Railways (IR) plans to be a net-zero carbon emitter by 2030. To this end, it intends to increase the use of renewable energy in its operations. This presents a huge potential for renewable energy […]
By Anita Khuller With an area spanning about 7.62 million hectares, the Himalayan subtropical pine forests are the largest in the Indo-Pacific region. In India, these pine forests are widely found in the state of […]
By Anita Khuller Biogas is produced naturally through a process of anaerobic decomposition from waste/biomass sources such as agricultural residue, cattle dung, sugarcane press mud, municipal solid waste, sewage treatment plant waste and distillery spent […]
Anita Khuller The rising heap of waste is creating a public health hazard in the country. In this scenario, biogas has emerged as a promising solution. Anaerobic bacteria break down food waste, which is disposed […]
