How CPCB IV+ emission standards will overhaul the Genset industry once and for all

  Go Green is the new trend in the Power Industry, and genset is not an exception. With July 2023, India has now transitioned to CPCB IV+ emission standards for gensets up to 800kW from CPCB II. The updated regulations will broadly influence the entire generator set industry. The announcement of the CPCB IV+ emission standard in November 2022 reflects the Indian government’s dedication to reducing air pollution. It will guide the industry towards a more sustainable trajectory and also support the development of new technologies and creative ideas. It’s important to highlight that India is now a sole economy…

The Roadmap for Ethanol as an Alternative Fuel for Automobile Future

“Clean energy is moving fast – faster than many people realize. Investment in clean energy technologies is significantly outwitting spending on fossil fuels as affordability and energy security concerns triggered by the global energy crisis strengthen the momentum for more sustainable options. Over the last decade, the focus on reducing fuel emissions has been a concern area for many progressive governments. To reduce their collective carbon footprint, they have started looking for a way to control their environmental impact. Due to such a situation, the use of Ethanol fuel has increased in many countries. However, those who want to switch…

Green Hydrogen: Potential & Challenge ahead of its Widespread Use

Today, India is the third largest consumer of energy in the world after China and the USA because of its rapid economic development. However, this staggering growth in energy consumption means we are also now the third-biggest carbon emitter worldwide, accounting to ~7 % of global emissions. It will continue to rise in years to come. Therefore, with growth comes greater responsibility for developing a sustainable energy supply chain for ourselves and the world. It demands a greater need to produce and rely on other greener energy alternatives. Well, India is already marching towards this roadmap to net zero and…

6 Ways to Foster a Healthy Work Environment to Improve Employee Health

What makes an organization a good place to work? Is it the extra perks? The high compensation than competitors? The location? The real answer lies in creating a great place to work is establishing a healthy work environment. Businesses tend to prioritize sustainability in long-term success take care of their employees whether they work from the office, at home, or in a hybrid culture. However, managing a healthy work environment is difficult when most employees work from home. But still, many organizations cracked certain practices that allowed them to promote healthy work practices among their resources. This write-up delves into…

Future of Hydrogen: A Way Forward to Self-Reliant India

The energy transition is now a business reality that needs augmentation. We must quickly transition from existing carbon-based energy systems to green energy systems that are environmentally sustainable and help in resource conservation. But among many renewables, hydrogen will surely take the lead as it can be considered a clean energy carrier, similar to electricity. Transitioning to a low-carbon hydrogen-based economy is crucial for addressing climate change, Emissions, and decarbonisation concerns. In terms of production, it can be produced through domestic resources such as renewable energy and nuclear energy. In the long run, it will reduce the dependence on foreign…

Top 5 Roof Top Solar EPC Companies in India

Being in a state of denial for many decades, the world has finally come to a centre stage to push the innovations to make the use of renewable energy mainstream and accessible to all. Among many renewable sources of energy, we would say that Solar has got the most traction given its potential as a non-intermittent source of energy. It is the future, and it is high time for all the stakeholders amongst the best solar energy companies to make the most of it. Gratefully, our nation is a frontrunner in adding the green energy at its disposal to lead…

Operation and Maintenance – The Key Success Factor for a Solar PV Power Plant

Everything is going good on the front of Strategy, Innovation, and Global Partnerships for our nation. Our solar power capacity is growing through leaps and bounds. Even “India’s Green Vision” is narrated through Solar Power and on its course to achieve 500 GW of green energy by 2030. So what needs to be done to ensure this course? The answer boils down to Solar PV panels operation & Maintenance. Operation & Maintenance (O&M) is the bedrock to ensure that the solar power system gives the best possible generation. It has to be a regular practice, as it improves the equipment’s…

Solar Recycling – An Important Step Towards Sustainability

The energy industry has been going through a revolutionary phase, and the world is also gradually shifting towards sustainable or renewable energy sources. Amongst multiple renewable sources of energy, solar energy is a primary component in fighting against climate change. Backed by political will and decreasing costs, the sector has shown a significant growth rate in India and across the world. But here is a catch. Not all that looks sustainable falls under the category. The worrisome concern is with photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. They fall under the category of sustainable sources of energy, as they are dependent on solar…

Big Data: Making Green Energy more Sustainable & Accessible

Awareness of climate change is growing unprecedently across all the regions. The leading world economies have pledged to achieve net-zero emission levels. However, still, there is a lot of confusion on how these economies will manage this significant magnitude of renewable energy. Wind, Hydro, Solar & Hydrogen are the sources playing an essential part in echoing this vision. But both Solar & Wind are intermittent sources of energy. Sometimes it’s cloudy. Sometimes the wind doesn’t blow. On the other hand, the world is still exploring ways to harness Hydrogen. So to rely on the sun and the wind, we must…

Battery Energy Storage Systems: Paving the way for Next Energy Revolution

The next energy revolution is already here. The leaders in the energy sector, both public & private, are acquainted with the fact that our future energy systems must be clean and low carbon to ensure sustainable development. When it comes to future energy systems, one must be aware of the terms like Solar, Wind, Hybrid Energy Solutions, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and most importantly, Hydrogen. All these are examples of renewable energy. Ultimately, we need a system to store this energy to meet the demands of peak hours. That’s where the Battery Storage Energy System, becomes a critical part…
