COP29: Harnessing Digital Power For Climate Action
The primary focus of this year's UN climate discussions centers on establishing a new climate finance framework to assist developing nations in emission reduction and climate adaptation. As discussions in COP 29 tackle uphill tasks of climate finance amid geopolitical manoeuvrings, digitalisation - artificial intelligence (AI) and big data – has presented itself as a central actor to optimizing energy consumption and reducing carbon footprint.
Creating a resilient energy ecosystem
The global energy sector is undergoing a transformative shift to address environmental challenges. Adopting circular economy principles — reducing waste, reusing resources, and optimising efficiency — alongside advanced technologies and renewable energy integration, is crucial for a sustainable energy ecosystem. Collaboration among industries and stakeholders is essential to scale these efforts, creating a secure and resilient energy system.
The role of energy and infrastructure
India’s vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047 requires a clear understanding of its current economic landscape along with an anticipatory overview of the challenges that might emerge along the way.
Budget 2025: Energy and infra as key drivers for Viksit Bharat 2047
India’s vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047 requires a clear understanding of its current economic landscape along with an anticipatory overview of the challenges that might emerge along the way.
A strategic approach to growth and inclusivity
In the first budget of Modi 3.0, the clear direction is to build a foundation with jobs in manufacturing, urban development, energy access, and energy security. The budget effectively bridges the gap between intent and implementation with a focus on higher education access, supporting the new workforce, job creation, employer support, incentivizing R&D, and skilling women.
Greening Of Energy Landscape Set To Accelerate
As we draw the curtain on 2023, the world stares at the rapid depletion of natural resources and imminent climate changes impacting the ecosystem. Global average temperatures were already inching above pre-industrial levels (+1.8°C), and greenhouse gas emissions reached a new high (57.4 GtCO2e in the previous recorded year). This ongoing phenomenon has brought the world together to phase down fossil fuel usage for a sustainable future.
India Can Be A Game-Changer For Climate Action
The G20 comprises of more than 20 countries accounting for 85 per cent of the global GDP, more than 60 per cent of the world's population, making it the world's most powerful forum for international cooperation on economic, financial, and political progress. India is leading the group's deliberations for 2023, and it has chosen "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" or "One Earth, One Family, One Future", as the theme for its presidency. This is an extension of the nation’s efforts towards inclusive growth.
Viewing COP27 as the inflection point for climate tech and digitalisation
A step forward on loss and damage and a recommitment to the 1.5°C limit, were the top takeaways from the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) fortnight that concluded last month. Outcomes also included structural reforms in access to finance and sensitisation towards the depletion of natural green cover with the need to reverse the forest loss.
Rewiring India: What’s needed for faster energy transition
Opinion Boosting energy efficiency, speeding up permits for renewables energy, front-loading investments are the need of the hour By 2050, electricity will be the backbone of the global energy system, and renewables will be the primary generation source; in some countries this transition will be much faster. In India’s case, however, BloombergNEF, an energy research firm, estimates that we could fall short of our 2022 renewable energy generation capacity targets by 36 per cent.
OPINION: Achieving Net Zero where solar is the king - ET EnergyWorld
By N Venu At the 26th Climate Change Conference, India took a pledge to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2070. To turn this ambition into reality, the world’s third largest energy consumer as well as carbon dioxide-emitter must raise its total installed solar power capacity to 5,630 gigawatts (GW) over the next 50 years. As of today, the total installed capacity from all energy sources put together is about 394 GW. Solar accounts for 49 GW.
India’s energy transition: Opportunities in power transmission, monitoring and storage
The two years of Covid-19-led unprecedented disruption has ushered in faster adoption of and adaptation to digital power technologies in traditional sectors such as transmission works and rail. It has also brought in fresh fervor toward sunrise sectors such as electric vehicles (EVs), data centers, and renewables—from the government through productivity-linked incentive schemes and from corporates via investment in green businesses.
Predictions 2022: EV push, digitalisation could burden ageing power grid, says Hitachi's N Venu
Opinion Industries' move to digitalise critical power equipment augurs well for the power value chain — from generation, transmission, distribution, to consumption. By N Venu, Dec 29, 2021 In the 2070 scenario envisioned at the COP26 summit, electricity will form the backbone of the entire energy system, says N Venu. 2021 had been a year on tenterhooks, ricocheting from hope to gloom to a flat wait-and-see state.
Powering a stronger, smarter and greener world
In about 30 years from now, we will be sharing our planet with two and a half billion more people. Together, we will live longer, strain our resources as we eat, produce and travel more, demanding more than double the energy that is required today. This increase, however, should not come at the cost of the planet or the more vulnerable sections of our society. The world of the future must be more sustainable in letter, spirit and action.
2021: An Opportunity For The Power Sector To Build Back Better
2020 has been an unprecedented year. It released massive unpredictability into the power sector. Businesses had to reconceptualise ways to keep their people safe, ensure business continuity and adapt to a rapidly evolving situation to restore demand. It seemed we had to take one day at a time and commit to making the right decisions that helped India build back better when normalcy returned. The pandemic also accelerated the energy transition taking place in India.
A great power reset to combat climate change
The move toward clean energy can only be sustained if we strategically invest in transformative technologies, build the right infrastructure and supportive services Climate change is undeniably one of the most pressing problems of our time. We sense and struggle with its punishing impact now more than ever with rising temperatures, changing rain and snow patterns, melting glaciers, crushing droughts and frequent virus outbreaks.
Smart and green grid: Leverage the learnings of the lockdown
Decentralised generation will offer people energy independence as well as give rise to new and competitive business models. The government also announced a host of measures in the Budget 2020-21 to augment solar capacity, electrify railway tracks as well as encourage e-mobility. (Representative image) By N Venu The Pandemic has fueled the debate about what choices India must make for its energy sector.
