India is currently the third largest energy consumer in the world after China and the United States. With a population of over 1.3 billion and a rapidly growing economy, India's energy demands are rising exponentially.  This surging energy consumption is being driven by factors such as economic development, industrialisation, rising household incomes, and urbanisation. More Indians are shifting to higher standards of living which requires increased usage of appliances, vehicles, and other energy-intensive technologies. Key sectors like transportation, construction, manufacturing and services have high energy dependence and account for a major share of India’s total commercial energy consumption. Over-reliance on Fossil Fuels To meet the ballooning energy needs of its populace and industries, India has traditionally relied heavily on domestic coal reserves and imported fossil fuels like oil and natural gas. Coal alone comprised nearly 55% of the commercial energy needs of the countr...

Hydrogen has immense potential to build a sustainable future as it is a clean energy carrier that can store and transport renewable energy. However, the production of hydrogen from fossil fuels results in greenhouse gas emissions. This is where green hydrogen plays a crucial role in accelerating the global transition towards clean energy. What is green hydrogen? Green hydrogen, also known as renewable hydrogen or sustainable hydrogen, is hydrogen produced through electrolysis using renewable sources like solar and wind. In the electrolysis process, electricity from renewable energy sources is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. As it is produced without carbon emissions, green hydrogen is considered a clean fuel that can help decarbonize industries and sectors that currently rely heavily on fossil fuels currently. Importance of green hydrogen production There are several advantages of green hydrogen  over hydrogen produced from fossil fuels: Greenhouse gas reduction: Gree...

The quick adoption of rooftop solar in India is impaired by a lack of pertinent information and awareness of the advantages of going solar. Individuals who are uncomfortable with the substantial upfront costs associated with purchasing solar panels and other equipment wind up paying high power rates. The rooftop industry has slowed down as a result of a lack of standard products and methods as well as the lack of convenient bank financing choices. The cost of rooftop solar can now be recouped in 5–7 years thanks to significant reductions in solar costs. What is Rooftop Solar? Installing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on the roofs of homes, buildings, or other structures in order to capture solar radiation and generate electricity is known as rooftop solar. This method of producing solar electricity is becoming more and more well-liked over the globe as a sustainable and clean substitute for traditional energy sources. Solar panels attached to the roof or integrated into the building s...
