Solar-Powered Cars: Futuristic Dream or Unrealistic Ambition?
The only logical way to go forward to clean transportation is electric vehicles. Adopting EVs and powering them through energy produced by solar panels that is transmitted through the utility grid or a structure nearby.
Cross-Sectoral Collaborations Pivotal for a Robust EV Battery Ecosystem in India
Both legacy companies and start-ups, operating in the battery manufacturing sphere, are currently grappling with accessing the required data and technology, which is key to developing a strong BMS. Furthermore, they are also in need of expert staff and need to develop strong in-house software and hardware along with the setting up of a validation ecosystem.
Can Government’s Commitment towards the Biogas Industry Result in Better Air Quality?
Using biogas in place of coal, fossil fuels, and raw biomass for the generation of energy in power plants, industry, and households can reduce particulate matter in the air and carbon emissions by over 40%. Biogas can be further refined and processed into biomethane, which can be used as vehicular fuel.
Energy Reality and Ambitious Export Target in Bangladesh
When Bangladesh has been undergoing the pandemic recovery process, the war-led geo-economic shockwave started hurting our economic spree squeezing global trading and economic system have been shocked immensely. Energy has become apparently the root cause of the crisis of the ongoing global unrest and multilateral sanctions.
Acing Solar Power Maintenance with Drones and Thermal Imaging
Using drones for thermal imaging and photography of utility-scale plants has become the norm for many companies. This allows companies to get an overview of any issues regarding the plant including hotspots and also informs the plant owners about the maintenance quality of the plant.
Right of Way (ROW) Challenge in Construction of Transmission Lines & its Mitigation in India
At COP26 summit in Glasgow in Nov’2021, India has pledged 500 GW of non-fossil fuel based installed capacity by the year 2030 and agreed to meet 50% of its energy requirement by renewable sources.
Aluminium Clad Steel Wires: Bringing ‘Resistance’ to the Power Supply Chain
The need of the hour is to bring radical changes in power distribution by introducing smart energy management solutions that can reduce the burden on existing power infrastructures. OPGW is a game-changing solution that allows for synergies between power distribution grids and fast optical fibre-based Supervision Control and Data Acquisition networks offering power utility companies the dual capabilities of a telecom carrier.
Floating Wind Turbines - a Promising Alternative
Floating wind turbine technology is relatively new compared with other wind technologies. The demonstration of the first grid-connected MW-scale floating offshore wind turbine took place in Norway in 2009… Floating wind turbines are likely to witness greater adoption worldwide once technology get fully commercialized.
The Current Contours of the Compressed Biogas
India can follow the trajectory of CBG to de-risk the price volatility of natural gas and crude oil.
Roadmap for Feedstock Security to Achieve the Target of 20% Ethanol Blending in Petrol by 2025
India uses by-products (molasses) from sugar production to produce ethanol. Increasing reliance on biofuels can push farmers towards growing more water intensive crops like sugarcane and rice which currently use 70% of the available irrigation water. Selling food grains for fuel will be beneficial for corporates and farmers on one hand but on another hand it will lead to price hike of food grains in the market and may create an imbalance of food grains availability at a reasonable market price.
