"What declaring a national emergency on climate would do, is to allow the president to move billions of dollars to tackle challenges we face,” Sen. Merkley said. “Energy efficiency, so that we use less fossil energy and building out renewable energy infrastructure. We have to electrify everything with renewable energy."

The senator said that he would like to see the administration roll out a measure every week that helps tackle the climate crisis.

One step would be bringing together several agencies including the Department of the Interior and Department of Energy to address the issue.

4 technologies that are accelerating the green hydrogen revolution

Green Hydrogen through Electrolysis: Fuelling the Future | WRI INDIA (wri-india.org) Anuraag Nallapaneni and Krishnaveni Malladi - August 25, 2021 This is the second in a series of blogs on hydrogen, which will involve discussions around range of electrolysis technologies currently available at commercial and laboratory levels. Given the rising global consensus towards the transition towards a green hydrogen economy in coming decades, availability of commercially operable electrolysis technologies will act as a backbone of hydrogen deployment across sectors. Maturity of electrolysis technologies would also be critical in facilitating India’s 450 GW RE target, given electrolysis’s ability to manage duck curve challenges through its power to gas (P2G) applicability, further banking on hydrogen’s ability to act as a long-term energy storage medium. Read the first blog here . Splitting water molecules, or the process of electrolysis, is one of the most p...

Solar Cell Manufacturers review

There are essentially 3 types of Solar Cell Companies .The tier 1 comprising top 2% do core R&d and are integrated end-to-end.The experience is more than 10 years. The second line about 8% do not indulge in R&d but use partial robotics etc for manufacturing. They have experience of 2-5 years .The rest 90% are assemblers and use human production lines for manual soldering.The projects however have a good capital output ratio . Here's a good link to review the top Solar Companies http://www.forbes.com/sites/uciliawang/2014/12/03/guess-who-are-the-top-10-solar-panel-makers-in-the-world/#2e34708f2812 Solar equipment makers are gearing up to expand production again after many of them had to idle production lines or close factories. So who are the top 10 solar panel makers these days? IHS released its ranking today that put Trina Solar as the top shipper of solar panels in 2014, followed by Yingli Green Energy . Both companies are based in ...
