Tata Group’s Journey on the path of sustainability

Tata Group’s Journey on the path of sustainability

Global warming has hit the world hard and recovery from this disaster demands ubiquitous, consistent, and sustainable solutions. The industrial sector is one of the major contributors to GHG emissions and bears a heavy load of carbon footprints directly as well as indirectly. It is rightly said to be the toughest sector to decarbonise. Especially the heavy industries that are responsible for 40% of total emissions. Not to mention the high energy footprints. Massive efforts are underway to achieve decarbonisation. Carbon capture, storage, and utilisation (CCSU) is by far the most convenient of the options for the decarbonisation of heavy…

Smart Bricks that Store Energy

Smart Bricks that Store Energy

Efficient energy storage forms an important aspect in the implementation of renewable energy at an affordable rate for all. Given the natural fluctuations in solar and wind energy because of seasonal cycles, it becomes crucial to store the generated energy for later use. Technological advancements have made renewable energy sources such as sun, wind, and tide much cheaper but what about the storage of this generated energy? Storage of energy obtained from renewable sources require specific infrastructural facilities at present. These facilities are expensive to make and have a high maintenance cost. Moreover, the facilities require specially trained, skilled technicians…

How to win Delhi’s Garbage Crisis?

How to win Delhi’s Garbage Crisis?

The concerns over the garbage disposal in Delhi are growing just like the heaps of garbage accumulated in its three landfills at Okhla, Bhalswa, and Okhla. These sites were formed by the municipal corporation sometime between the 1980s to 1990s. A landfill is a piece of land designated for the burial or dumping of waste. Although the landfills helped in getting rid of the problem of waste disposal then, it has become a full-blown crisis today. Over the years, the population increased, the city expanded, and there has been a rise in the use of single-use plastic and disposable items,…

Geothermal Energy to solve the energy crisis?

Geothermal Energy to solve the energy crisis?

Amidst the deteriorating climatic condition and exhaustion of existing conventional energy sources, mankind is on a constant lookout for a renewable and clean energy source. Geothermal energy seems to be a suitable contender capable of contributing to our fight against climate change and fulfilling the ever-increasing energy demand. The field has come to a new light with the invention of new tools and developed technology, however, geothermal energy has been a reliable source of heating systems for centuries as evidenced by archaeological research. The naturally occurring hot springs have been a famous retreat and recoup site for people since long…

The Crypto-Climate Crossover

The Crypto-Climate Crossover

It is interesting how our economy has evolved from commodity-based to the present-day digital currency. An economic system is the backbone of any nation. The system evolves as per the need of time. It consisted mainly of a barter system (exchange of items or work) during the early days of our civilization. This system changed as people travelled and explored the world around them. The first physical form of currency known to mankind was metal. Certain civilisations started using metal coins in exchange for commodities as it provided a fair and easy transaction. Metal coins were eventually replaced by paper…

Green Hydrogen Roadmap for India’s Economic Development

Green Hydrogen Roadmap for India’s Economic Development

Green hydrogen has become the talk of the country these days. The world is in dire need of a clean, renewable, and alternative source of energy to attain the zero-emissions goal by 2050 in order to curb GHG emissions and stop global warming before the end of the century. Amidst this, the government of India has approved the National Green Hydrogen Mission. It is a very big step towards attaining India’s plan of decarbonising major industrial sectors and transportation. The mission has great potential to help India attain its zero-emission target while boosting economic growth. With the green hydrogen mission,…

Harvesting Solar Energy from Space

Harvesting Solar Energy from Space

The Earth has entered the ‘code red’, claim the scientists in a recent report on climate change. The report states that 16 out of 35 vitals used to measure Earth’s climate change are at alarming levels. There is an ongoing battle to save the planet by undoing all that was done during the last few decades and taking action to save the planet. Finding a renewable and clean source of energy is at the top of the list. The most critical aspect is to find such a form of renewable energy that will be carbon neutral and most importantly affordable…
