“Buildings are responsible for almost 40% of global energy-related carbon emissions.” – United Nations Environment Programme As the world marches toward the ambitious goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, the building sector holds a pivotal role. Energy efficiency in buildings not only reduces emissions but also significantly lowers operational Read more…
As the world grapples with the urgent need to mitigate climate change, transitioning to 100% renewable energy has become a key goal for many nations. Australia recently achieved 100% renewable power supply, marking a significant milestone in the global clean energy transition. India’s roadmap towards a similar goal presents unique Read more…
The solar energy industry, celebrated for its promise of delivering a sustainable future, has experienced impressive growth over the past few decades. However, this growth has been coupled with numerous challenges, particularly in the regulatory domain. Regulatory issues have played a significant role in the financial downfall of several solar Read more…
As India accelerates its transition to electric vehicles (EVs), one technology gaining traction is battery swapping. This innovative solution promises to address several challenges faced by EV users, particularly in the two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments, which constitute about 80% of the market. With the rapid growth of the EV industry Read more…
Australia’s increasing reliance on renewable energy, particularly solar rooftop installations, has led to a notable rise in negative electricity prices. As the graphic illustrates, the hourly average cost of electricity on the wholesale market in South Australia from June 2023 to May 2024 shows significant periods of negative pricing, especially Read more…
Introduction: As the world faces the escalating threat of climate change, coordinated efforts on greenhouse gas abatement have become crucial. National and sub-national initiatives, combined with international collaboration, are driving new approaches to global climate governance. The European Union (EU) has taken a leading role in these efforts, advocating for Read more…
Tackling the Plastic Pollution Crisis Every year, an estimated 12 million tons of plastic, equivalent to the weight of over 20,000 A380 jets, ends up in the oceans due to overproduction, a linear economy, and inadequate waste management. To address this crisis, companies must adopt a comprehensive approach within their Read more…
