Understanding the Global GHG Landscape Climate change is undeniably one of the most pressing challenges of our time, and the global GHG inventory provides a snapshot of the contributions of various nations to this crisis. G20 nations are responsible for 80% of global energy consumption and more than 75% of Read more…
When calculating Scope 3 emissions for waste generated in a commercial building, it is crucial to incorporate detailed data on waste types, disposal methods, and strategies for recycling and reuse. This blog will walk you through the process with an example calculation, focusing on dry waste, wet waste, and the Read more…
When discussing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, India’s focus often revolves around the energy sector. While decarbonizing power generation is crucial, the waste sector—a seemingly small contributor—demands immediate attention. Surprisingly, waste-related emissions are the fastest-growing segment in India’s GHG inventory, increasing by a staggering 226% between 1994 and 2020. As India Read more…
India’s renewable energy sector continues to experience transformative growth, propelled by advancements in technology and supportive government policies. However, the sector’s rapid evolution has exposed vulnerabilities in its regulatory and procurement framework, particularly in the context of declining prices for solar energy and battery energy storage systems (BESS). The Central Read more…
Electricity consumption is a vital measure of a nation’s economic growth, industrial development, and quality of life. However, there exists a significant disparity between developed and developing countries in terms of per capita electricity usage. While developed nations like the United States and Australia exhibit high per capita consumption due Read more…
