Why Sell to the Grid When You Can Sell Next Door?” At Firstgreen Consulting, we’re championing a revolution in rooftop solar: shifting surplus energy from the grid to neighbourhood micro‑markets. Here’s how the future looks:✅ Blockchain-enabled & virtual net metering Read more
If carbon markets were judged by outcomes instead of intentions, the EU ETS would be Exhibit A in climate misdirection.” The European Union’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), once hailed as the flagship of global carbon pricing, is failing to Read more
When you outsource manufacturing, you don’t just export jobs — you import emissions.” Over the past two decades, the European Union has perfected a carbon sleight of hand. While it parades reductions in domestic emissions, its true climate cost has Read more
What we are witnessing is not decarbonisation. It’s offshoring in disguise.” For three decades, developed nations have showcased domestic emission cuts as success stories in climate leadership. But dig deeper into the data, and a different narrative emerges — one Read more
India’s central and state regulators are opening the doors to this new business model. Virtual Net Metering (VNM) allows excess solar energy generated in one location to offset consumption elsewhere — even across rooftops. Here’s a snapshot of states enabling Read more
By 2030, India has committed to producing 5 MMT (million tonnes) of green hydrogen annually—enough to power 600,000 buses or replace over 50 MMT of fossil fuel–based CO₂ emissions. This isn’t incremental. It’s a trillion-rupee-scale disruption. Green hydrogen is the Read more
