India’s blue economy ambitions hinge not on scaling marine bioproducts alone, but on transitioning to chemical-free processing pathways that deliver
Despite rapid growth in energy demand, India's per-person energy consumption is much less compared to that of developed countries
In India, the line separating social cost and benefit from private benefit and cost is blurred, leading to less than ideal outcomes for both citizens
Renewable energy and nuclear power generation capacity are projected to increase by leaps and bounds in 2032.
Nearly half of Indian households still use biomass for cooking. A credible transition to LPG or equivalent cooking fuels will come only when household
India’s vast coastline and rich marine biodiversity offer immense potential to advance a US$100-billion blue economy by 2030. A challenge to this potential is that India generates 6-8 million tonnes of underutilised marine biomass waste annually, comprising fish waste, shells, seaweed, and beach wrack. This paper explores a circular blue economy approach—with a waste-to-wealth model at its core—to convert marine biomass waste into high-valu
India has over thirty years of experience in developing biogas, biomass and solar energy and this expertise needs to be leveraged better
This Paper outlines the potential of renewable energy in addressing India's energy supply and access; it identifies challenges and provide a discursive overview of the various market and policy instruments developed to scale up renewable energy generation. India’s significant economic growth over the last decade has led to an inexorable rise in energy demand. Currently, India faces a Ichallenging energy shortage. To grow at 9 per cent over t
Transport activity in India has increased more than sevenfold over the last two decades, its gasoline-fuelled pathway leading to a rapid rise in negative environmental externalities. To decouple the sector’s growth from high emissions, policymakers are scaling up efforts to deploy cleaner fuels for the sector; in particular, liquid biofuels have received a significant push. However, while biofuels help lower emissions at the point of us
Relentless urbanisation often has a heavy environmental cost, arising from activities such as the consumption of fossil resources to fuel industrialisation and infrastructure development. The resulting surge in greenhouse gas emissions is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, which leads to frequent extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, and heatwaves. Such events pose an existential threat to human life, infrastructure, an
भारतात, सामाजिक खर्च आणि लाभ यांच्यातील खर्च वेगळे करणारी रेषा अस्पष्ट आहे. त्यामुळे नागरिक आणि राज्य दोघांसाठी अपेक्षित उद्दिष्टांची पूर्तता कमी प्रमाणात होताना दिसत �
