It is no news that the former president of the US, Donald Trump, was a climate change denier. Fortunately, the current administration couldn’t disagree more. The Biden administration has unveiled an ambitious plan for the solar industry to produce 45 percent of its electricity by
Five mechanical engineering students build a solar-powered e-cycle at Agnel Institute of Technology and Design in Goa in order to reduce vehicular pollution. As of now, the customised photo-voltaic electrical bicycle could cover the distance between Panaji and Vasco on a single run. Initially the
NTPC is India’s largest energy company that aims to accelerate power development in the nation. A Centre-owned electric utility company, NTPC is going to build India’s largest solar park of 4.75 gigawatts (GW) at Rann of Kutch in Gujarat. The solar park will also generate
Solar energy has become a necessary renewable energy resource as the world aims to reduce the usage of fossil fuels. Solar Mountain by Mumbai architecture firm NUDES is a permanent installation, which has been designed to potentially power the 3,800-acre ranch of Burning Man with
Progressing toward the mission to clean water, a team of Chinese researchers developed a highly efficient, solar-powered desalination device that can produce freshwater from seawater. To date, freshwater scarcity is one of the serious issues that is threatening the development of society in many regions.
Offshore wave energy conversion has been a pioneering field for quite some time now. German startup Sinn Power has recently developed a hybrid floating platform to generate energy. It combines wind turbines, solar panels, and wave energy harvesters to produce off-grid electricity for people living
In a race to cut emissions, the global community is striving to explore renewable energy resources. Being the most promising alternative, the countries are increasing their solar power capacity for the past few years. However, the local manufacturing for solar components such as solar Photovoltaic
Scientists have been experimenting with the ways to utilize sunlight through various mediums. Light-driven actuators, devices that convert light directly into mechanical work, have caught much attention as they are wireless and easy to control. Working on a similar principle, a team from China’s Changzhou
India has been striving and thriving to generate power through renewable energy resources for quite some time now. The country has a target to reach a renewable energy capacity of 175 GW by 2022, out of which 100 GW will be solar energy. Most of
The world’s largest solar park located at Pavagada in Tumakuru district of Karnataka, having a total capacity of 2050 MW is now completed. The facility dubbed ‘Pavagada Solar Park’ (a.k.a. Shakti Sthala) is fully operational and coincides with India’s 2022 renewable energy target of 175
