A NASA,Goddard Institute for Space Studies, New York, study has highlighted that on-road transportation is the most significant overall source contributing to global warming. Though Power generation scores quite high on this score but it also produces many other compounds which increases cloud reflectivity.
Slowdown is relaxing a wee bit. Its official now. The developed world is also showing signs of recovery. And even though there was slowdown in the home-improvement business through the recession, the market for home energy-efficiency improvements is looking up.
Net additions in Wind Power sector in the year which has just gone by, has registered 39% increase over the year 2008. The additions are indeed record breaking but a closer analysis of the state of wind power manufacturing sector out there reveals a different saga.
Solar Water Heating Systems are an integral feature of any green building. Solar water heating systems are employed even in conventional buildings for energy efficient measures. Today, there are many solar water heating systems which can be employed to even get temperatures more than the boiling water temperatures. But the common ones which are in [...]
Energy Efficiency and Energy Savings are the cool words which the consultants rip off during their presentations. Those of us who have been in the corporate world might have attended many a presentations on saving energy and fuel, Green Building etc. In fact there are many programs going on where lots of money have been [...]
India’s Solar PV mission is expected to take off in grand style. India has put up well defined milestones for Solar PV, 20 GW by 2020, 100 GW by 2030 and 200 GW by 2050. The targets are very very ambitious but quite possible to achieve. Solar PV manufacturing world over was plagued with high [...]
There have been researches going around the world amongst various solar cells manufacturers to improve the conversion efficiencies. But the progress on this front has been very very slow. There have been many technologies with mono, poly crystalline cells but the conversion efficiency the most important parameter for a solar module manufacturer, had been hovering [...]
We have been reading and discussing a lot on Climate Change and Global warming these days. These issues have surely been there on the top of agenda of every gatherings on energy and renewables. No doubt, we all are concerned and some of us might have even attended talks and presentations on these topics. But [...]
