Coal is currently the biggest power generator globally and it is also the biggest source of carbon emissions. With the current climate emergency, a number of countries in the world are experiencing a transition away from coal-based power. In this transition process, the countries have set targets to improve energy security, mitigate climate change, and …
The hydropower industry in India is the 7th largest producer of hydroelectric power in the world. Currently, the public sector accounts for 92.5% of India’s hydroelectric power production, but private sector investments are severely lagging. This lag has prompted government officials to finally give hydropower some policy attention. The segment has faced various challenges such …
Offshore wind power or offshore wind energy is the use of wind farms constructed in bodies of water, usually the ocean on the continental shelf (an area of seabed where the sea is comparatively shallow), to harvest wind energy to generate electricity. Offshore wind has emerged as one of the most rapidly developing sources of …
The Indian government has set an ambitious target of achieving 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022. This includes 40 GW of rooftop solar, 60 GW of grid-scale solar, and 60 GW of wind. Currently, India is the third-largest solar market in the world and has the fourth-largest installed wind power capacity in the world. …
Bioenergy is a renewable source of energy that is produced from materials derived from biological sources. Materials that can store sunlight in the form of chemical energy like wood, wood waste, straw, crop residue, manure, sugarcane, and many other by-products from a variety of agricultural processes form biomass; the fuel used in the production of …
Wind energy accounts for nearly 10% of India\’s total installed power generation capacity. Industries are currently spending a lot of money on electricity every month and can now reduce between 25% to 45% (percentage varies depending on state and consumption) on monthly electricity expenditure by shifting to wind power. WHAT IS THE AREA REQUIRED FOR …
The India Infrastructure magazine, Powerline, has published an article on the role of Microgrids for increased energy production. The report touches on the increasing role of microgrids in the industry, the enhancing of energy access, smart integration, and the global growth of microgrids in the world. Some of the key points from this article have …
India is one of the largest producers of agricultural crops (both food grains and non-food grains), but ranks very low in terms of agricultural productivity (the ratio of agricultural outputs to agricultural inputs). This is mainly due to the power supply situation in the agricultural sector that remains dismal as many farmers have to rely …
Waste generation has been in existence ever since the human race has existed. The first of its kind was probably when Eve ate the apple and threw it on the ground, perhaps not thinking what would happen to the rest of it. Of course, back then it was just the two of them; they didn’t …
The Council of Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) estimates that water requirements from both surface water sources and groundwater sources for the operation and maintenance of solar plants in India, lie between 3-5 liters per panel and in some cases 7-8 liters per panel, where panels are usually cleaned every week. According to a recent …
