Governments and firms around the world are racing to define their place in the clean energy economy, which is growing quickly as policy makers develop new industrial strategies that also bolster energy
Energy technology: Cheaper and better solar-powered electric lights promise to do away with kerosene-fuelled lanterns WHICH plastic gadget, fitting neatly in one hand, can most quickly improve the lives
visible sort, into electricity. But not very well yet SOLAR panels get better and cheaper with every passing year. In one way, though, they are still quite primitive. They work only with light in the
The goal of this report is to inform investors about the potential of solar minigrid technologies to serve India’s rural market. India, a rapidly emerging economy with the world’s second largest population,
New Delhi Telecom firms will make annual energy savings of as much as R10,000 crore over the next eight years if they adopt the Centre’s green telecom directive and phase out diesel consumption by 2020, a report released by an international NGO said on Tuesday. According to the green directive, service providers have to ensure at least 75% of all telecom towers in rural areas and 33% in urban areas run on hybrid power — a combination of renewable energy and grid power — by 2020.
TANGEDCO to implement scheme in Aranthangi, Pudukottai Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) has got a sanction of Rs.26.96 crore for implementing various measures to improve transmission and distribution of power in the municipal towns of Aranthangi and Pudukottai in the district.
Cost of wind power is now on a par with price of coal-fired energy Anyone thinking of setting up coal-based power projects may want to think again. The stratospheric rise in the price of imported coal and the shortage of the fossil fuel at home have given rise to a scenario once thought impossible: For the first time, the cost of wind power is now on a par with the price of coal-fired energy in some parts of India.
ITANAGAR: The Arunachal Pradesh government will chalk out mechanism to tap the massive potential of renewable energy in the State. “Our hill locks, mountains and river banks has enormous potential for developing wind energy which if rightly harnessed can generate good revenue,” Chief Minister Nabam Tuki today said while delivering a speech here on the occasion of Rajiv Gandhi Akshay Urja Diwas. Pasighat, Sela Pass in Tawang, Hawa Camp near Kimin were some potential areas where proposal for wind energy generation could be effectively worked out.
A grid-connected system linking rooftop solar panels across the State could drive down the cost of generating solar power and provide the basis of a sustainable energy system for Kerala, noted social and environmental activist and the former director of the Agency for Non-conventional Energy and Rural Technology (ANERT) R.V.G. Menon has suggested. In a paper presented at the ongoing Kerala Environment Congress (KEC 2012) organised by the Centre for Environment and Development (CED) and the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB) here, Prof. Menon said the time had come for Kerala to adopt a proactive policy, making it mandatory for new buildings to have rooftop solar photovoltaic panels
Advanced biofuels produced by microorganisms have similar properties to petroleum-based fuels, and can 'drop in' to the existing transportation infrastructure. However, producing these biofuels in yields
Going solar is no longer a bright idea for the four-decade-old photovoltaic manufacturing industry. This high-potential renewable energy sector has suffered a serious setback in India as much as across the globe. And the alarm bells are ringing loud. In the 1970s, public sector companies Bharat Heavy Electrical Limited and the Central Electronics Limited were the first to make solar equipment in India. But these were primarily for research and development. In the 1990s, some more companies started small-scale manufacture of solar equipment. These were restricted to manufacturing for household applications.
