India Needs To Ramp Up Efforts To Lead The Global Race To Turn Water Into Fuel

India’s energy demand has doubled in the past 20 years and is likely to grow by at least 25 per cent by 2030. Currently, India is the third-largest economy in the world in terms of energy needs. A worryingly large part of its energy requirements is met via imports, which are susceptible to geopolitical uncertainties.

Rising energy consumption in the country has mostly meant increased burning of fossil fuels, making the transition to a low-carbon future difficult. But ramping up decarbonisation

2023 Second-Warmest Ever For India, UK, Shows Global Warming Likely Accelerating

Scientists have said that the year 2023, which featured several extreme and deadly climate events, was the warmest year in some parts of the world and the second-warmest in several others. The India Meteorology Department has announced that the annual mean air temperature for the country in 2023 was 0.65 degree Celsius above normal, meaning it was the second-warmest year since record-keeping began in 1901.

For the UK, which also experienced 2023 as its second-warmest year, the data paints a mor

Food For Thought: Are Our Dietary Choices Making The Planet Inhabitable?

As the Neolithic Revolution began, approximately 12 millenia ago, agriculture practices were discovered and some groups shifted to farming, resulting in permanent settlements. This was a gigantic evolutionary step and enabled us to grow our own food. Since then, agriculture, a highly water-intensive process, became the mainstay of the human food system, but meat and meat products remained important sources of protein in the human diet.

There are several other food systems as well, depending on

Addressing Challenges And Safety Concerns In Second-Life Applications For EV Batteries

Recycling of used EV batteries will not only bring down the overall cost of production, but will also reduce the intensity of mining of minerals.

The electric vehicle industry is undoubtedly evolving rapidly. Surveys have shown that people are now warming up to the idea of plugging-in their vehicles and making bold choices for the environment. However, there are many challenges before the EV industry actually matures.

It is estimated that about 90% of the lithium-ion battery market will be dri

Millions Of EVs Are Set To Storm The Market. What Will Happen To The ‘End of Life’ Batteries?

Currently, EVs account for 35% of the Li-ion battery market share in India. This is set to reach nearly 90% by 2030. In the absence of proper management of retired EV batteries, this will generate massive waste.

A great deal of discussion is underway around India’s efforts to shift towards a clean mobility ecosystem. Most of them are encouraging, especially since the efforts to introduce electric vehicles appear to have paid off. Today, EV penetration has reached 6.9%, according to the EV Dashb

Energy Storage Breakthrough For Supercapacitors: What This Means For The EV Industry?

Like batteries, supercapacitors store and release electricity. However, rather than storing energy in the form of chemicals, they store electricity in a static state.

The two big roadblocks in the rapid adoption of electric vehicles have been their limited endurance – distance covered per unit of energy consumed – and inadequate battery charging stations. Besides, the lithium-ion batteries used in EVs today take hours to recharge. This also tests the patience of the vehicle owner. But all these

How Bus Priority Schemes Can Transform Mobility Systems In Big Cities?

Bus priority schemes must be designed for cities keeping in mind the local demand and preference. Making public bus transport appealing to city commuters again can go a long way in achieving transport sustainability

A robust bus transport system should essentially be the bedrock of any city’s urban mobility planning. Buses are sustainable, affordable and connect all parts of the cities. Because buses can carry around 50 people at once, they help decongest city roads by lowering the number of pr

How Can Developing Countries Decarbonize Their Logistics Sector

Although India has been making efforts by pushing electric vehicles and building dedicated corridors to decarbonise the logistics sector and bring down the freight cost, it needs to step up its efforts.

It is impossible to escape a discussion on the role of the logistics sector when talking about decarbonisation. Primarily involving freight transport (road, rail and waterways), warehousing, materials handling, and related information technology, this sector plays a key role in a country’s econo

Transition To EVs: Where do Traditional Carmakers Stand?

The top 15 traditional carmakers saw a 47% growth in zero-emission electric vehicle sales between 2021 and 2022, lagging behind the global growth rate of 69% for the same period

As we approach the Conference of Parties (COP28) in Dubai, the cry for environment protection and sustainability is getting louder. More and more people are calling for nations to outline decisive measures to contain the fallout of climate change – one of the biggest challenges facing humanity in this century. A big fac
