With transport being one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, researchers are looking for low-carbon alternatives to replace the conventional fuels being used today. One such promising development took place at ETH Zurich, where researchers developed a technology that is capable of producing liquid hydrocarbon fuels from just air and sunlight. This …
When we talk about the Middle East, we usually associate it with oil since it is one of the largest oil-producing regions in the world. Multiple wars and crises have broken out due to this single factor. But, it is surprising and refreshing to learn that the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is now trying to …
The real estate sector in India is expected to reach a market size of US$1 trillion by 2030. This means that there will be a huge increase in the carbon footprint of the sector. Currently, buildings in the country account for 40% of the total energy consumption, 30% raw material use, 20% water use, and …
The Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change is a body of the United Nation responsible for studying climate change and designing a global response to it. From time to time, IPCC publishes its latest findings in its annual reports. The Special Report on Climate Change and Land addresses greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes in land-based ecosystems, land …

The growth of renewable energy across the globe has seen a tremendous change over the last two decades; its evolution and cumulative growth have surpassed all expectations. Solar energy has substantially multiplied by several folds globally because of the supporting policies that are being introduced in multiple regions across the world to back the cause. …
Current electricity industries are moving towards a more decarbonised, digitalised, and decentralised structure. This is where blockchain technology can be used to ensure greater automation and better management of data with higher security at lower costs. These qualities ensure blockchain technology\’s crucial role in the energy grids of the future. Although the concept of blockchain …

Karnataka has the highest installed capacity of renewable energy across all states in the country as of December 2019. This is mainly due to its solar power generation capacity of 7,274.93 MW, which makes up about 48% of the state’s total renewable energy capacity. The wind and solar power generation during December 2019 were higher …
In a country like India that has around 75 million dairy farms, more than anywhere else in the world, sustainable energy can play a huge role in offsetting rising costs. The dairy network that is engaged in the processing of milk and its products, has affiliations with 15 million milk producers and has a total …
Most South Asian countries have been exploring sustainable alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, hydropower, and biomass, mostly to sustain their rapid economic growth and rising energy demand. The geographical locations of these countries make them extremely vulnerable to global climate change, however, this fact also gives them access to a variety of renewable …
The power system in India is experiencing a period of change. The phenomenal growth in installed generation capacity in recent years has caused the system to become increasingly complex and challenging. Further, the integration of renewable sources and new demand loads like electric vehicles means the grid needs to handle more power flows 24X7. The …
