The introduction of the Swachh Bharat Mission in October 2014 has resulted in an increased focus on the cleanliness of streets and roads and the management of waste in India’s cities. The introduction of the […]
The battle against climate change is being fought on two major fronts – clean energy supply and energy efficiency. As India continues to expand its renewable energy capacity to achieve the specified targets, the dialogue […]
Running parallel to the evolution of the renewable energy sector is the innovation in energy storage technologies, which has caught the attention of the industry as well as policymakers across countries. The importance of efficient […]
In a bid to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, meet climate change targets and reduce pollution in urban areas, the government has announced ambitious plans to introduce electric vehicles (EVs) and thus also change the face […]
After announcing tall renewable energy targets to meet its climate goals, the government has set yet another ambitious target to move to electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030. The National Mission on Electric Mobility aims to […]
Air pollution has risen to acute levels in the National Capital Region (NCR) and adjoining areas. This spike is being attributed in large part to the burning of crop residue by farmers in Punjab and […]
In addition to developing the traditional sources of renewable energy, the market is increasingly focusing on emerging technologies in order to be future-ready. The key among these are wind-solar hybrids, electric vehicles, offshore wind, and […]
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels have an average efficiency of 15 to 20 per cent, which decreases over the lifetime of a power plant. Due to this, large tracts of land are required for setting up […]
A growing focus on energy efficiency has put pressure on researchers and market players to incorporate energy-efficient technology into the existing and new infrastructure. Passive design features that maximise energy efficiency can be added to […]
India is in the process of developing its renewable energy technologies in a bid to ensure a sustainable power system. The evolution of existing renewable energy technologies to smart renewables will help power economic growth. […]
The growth of municipal waste is directly linked to the population and economic progress of a town, city, state or a country. With a population of around 1.34 billion, India generates about 80 million tonnes […]
Rural India, home to about 833 million people, is gradually ushering in new growth opportunities for the corporate sector, and is set to become a vital cog in the country’s growth story over the next […]
India is the third largest consumer of energy in the world and the second largest in Asia. According to the Global Energy Statistical Yearbook 2017 by Enerdata, India’s consumption grew by 4.6 per cent in […]
Driven by the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, solid waste management is gaining popularity in India. As a result, solid waste is on its way to becoming a considerable source of energy. While waste-to-energy (WtE) technology has […]
Countries worldwide are in constant pursuit of greener and cleaner technologies to generate power from the limited set of sources available in nature. Power generation from renewable energy sources has reached parity with that […]
In the past few years, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracting has emerged as the most preferred option for renewable energy developers as it passes the majority of the design, development and construction risks to […]
While the focus of renewable energy development in the country has largely been on the wind, small hydro, biomass and solar segments, new technologies such as geothermal energy, hydrogen energy (fuel cells) and tidal energy […]
