By Khushboo Goyal To address the issues of demand-supply mismatch, energy security and climate change, the government, along with various state agencies, has been focusing on renewable energy development. However, land unavailability and transmission constraints […]
By Anukriti On May 25, 2018, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) issued the guidelines for setting up 2,500 MW of ISTS-connected wind-solar hybrid power projects under the National Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy. The […]
To promote both wind and solar power uptake in Gujarat, the state government has launched the Gujarat Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy, 2018. It is the first state to have released a policy framework for hybrid projects […]
By Ashay Abbhi The pursuit to resolve the challenges in the Indian renewable energy sector has given rise to many innovative solutions, especially in the wind and solar energy segments. The complementarities of the two […]
By Anita Khullar India is expected to add 40 billion m2 of new buildings by 2050. A third of the country’s total energy consumption comes from buildings, according to the 2016 annual energy statistics published by the […]
By Khushboo Goyal Biogas is a mixture of different gases produced by the breakdown of agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste, or food waste, in the absence of oxygen. When this […]
By Ashay Abbhi The growth of solar thermal has been restricted as compared to the solar photovoltaic (PV) technology due to factors such as low off-take, no incentives and lack of a policy push. Despite […]
Driving India’s renewable energy growth, both solar and wind power are on the path to convergence. Owing to the complementary nature of the two sources of energy, solar-wind hybrid systems are more likely to provide […]
Out of the 62 million tonnes of waste generated annually in the country, over 80 per cent is disposed at dumpsites in an unhygienic manner. With the growing urban population, environmental concerns and stressed resources, […]
The 60 GW of renewable energy currently installed in India has been developed in the recent past, and the full impact of its variable and intermittent nature is yet to be clearly seen. However, the […]
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 […]
