The demand for lithium-ion batteries is rapidly increasing as they become a crucial component in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and other electronics. With India’s ambitious plans to transition towards electric mobility and renewable energy, there is a huge potential for investment in lithium-ion battery manufacturing. However, to facilitate investments Read more
India, like many other countries, is facing a challenge in building a sustainable energy future. To do so, it can learn from the policies and strategies of other countries, such as the United States, Europe, and China. These countries have invested heavily in energy storage technology and battery manufacturing, which Read more
The EU Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS) is a ‘cap and trade’ system that helps to combat climate change in a cost-effective and economically efficient manner. It is a major tool of the European Union in its efforts to meet emissions reductions targets now and into the future. So, how does Read more
The Energy Performance Index (EPI) is an important metric used in building design and construction to measure the energy efficiency of a building. It is essentially a ratio that measures a building’s annual energy consumption in kilowatt-hours per square meter of the building. By calculating the EPI of a building, Read more
As buildings account for a significant portion of energy consumption, it is essential to ensure their energy efficiency. The Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) is a set of guidelines that aim to optimize energy performance and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings. The ECBC has provisions for various building components, Read more
Air conditioning has become an essential component of modern buildings, especially in areas with extreme temperatures. A well-designed ventilation system can improve indoor air quality and contribute to the health and comfort of occupants. In this article, we will discuss the five key considerations in designing a ventilation system for Read more
As the world grapples with the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are emerging as a significant player in the fight against climate change. VCMs allow companies to offset their carbon emissions by purchasing carbon credits that reflect Read more
Curtailment is a deliberate action under which the off-taker denies accepting the oversupply of solar or wind power due to technical reasons of imbalance in the supply and demand of power in the grid. In recent years, curtailment has been observed as a major risk governing the setting up of Read more
Lack of transmission infrastructure is also being considered another major bottleneck for large-scale deployment of renewable energy sources in India. Large-scale renewables are mostly being deployed on barren land, and these areas are not close to the demand centres, which leads to a lot of projects facing curtailment due to Read more
