Green Energy & a Green Environment

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...

Top 10 Rooftop Solar Installation Company 2020 in India - 3 kW to 500 kW Projects (loomsolar.com)   Lack of relevant information and awareness about the benefits of going solar are major bottlenecks in the rapid adoption of rooftop solar in India. People end up paying high power tariffs because they are not comfortable incurring large upfront   cost of buying solar panels   and other equipment. Lack of standard products, procedures and the absence of easy financing options from banks has resulted in a slowdown in the rooftop sector. With cost of solar coming down drastically, it is now possible to recover the cost of rooftop solar in 5-7 years’ time (note this depends on many factors like subsidy, electricity bill, tariff, units consumed etc.)   According to  Bridge to India , households account for only 9% of the total rooftop solar capacity in the country and a majority of the rooftop installations in the country are on commercial or industrial establishments....

India’s First Green Energy Convergence Project: Goa (drishtiias.com) India’s  first convergence project  to generate green energy for rural and agriculture consumption is set to come up in  Goa. Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL),  a joint venture of PSUs under the Ministry of Power, and Goa government signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the same. Key Notes Convergence Project of EESL: Focus:  It focuses on energy solutions that lie at the  confluence  of  renewable energy, electric mobility  and  climate change. Objective:  It seeks to connect seemingly independent sectors like  Solar Energy, Energy Storage and LED lights  to provide solutions, which can enable in  decarbonisation  and  affordable energy  access. Mechanism: EESL  is offering  convergent interventions,  which solve multiple gap areas in the energy ecosystem. Solutions such as  solarised agriculture feed...

5 Weird Ways To Generate Renewable Energy As concern grows for the climate and all eyes are on fossil fuels, the hunt is on for new ways of generating electricity. Traditional renewable energy sources have until now focused on harnessing the power of the sun or the wind or water. But traditions are meant to be broken--and that happens more often than you might think  #1 Trash There is an abundance of trash in the world, and after all, you don’t need it for anything else anyway. So, as feedstocks go, it ticks all the right boxes: plentiful and free. In fact, plentiful is a bit of an understatement. Each year, every American generates  1,609 pounds  of trash. Globally, the World Bank estimates that  2.01 billion metric tons  (4.4 trillion pounds) of trash are produced each year. Australia, for one, has so much trash that its landfills will soon be overflowing, with Australians pitching 21 million tons of waste into landfills each year.   ...
