Adani Energy Solutions Limited (AESL) has achieved the necessary financial closure for its ambitious $1 billion project involving the establishment of a green high voltage direct current (HVDC) link. The initiative aims to bolster the greening process of Mumbai's power grid by augmenting the infusion of renewable energy into the city's system, thereby meeting its escalating electricity requirements. Scheduled to commence construction in October of this year, the 80 km comprehensive project is a significant step toward reinforcing the region's sustainable energy infrastructure.
A new study reveals that the Greenland ice sheet is losing mass at an accelerating rate and that this is due to a combination of factors, including climate change, ocean warming, and Greenland's topography. Greenland’s ice sheet is the single largest contributor to sea level rise from land ice, and it is estimated that the ice sheet could contribute up to 7 meters (23 feet) of sea level rise if it were to melt completely.
This friendship day, opt for an eco-friendly alternative if you are planning to buy a friendship band for your buddy. Here are some great ideas for making eco-friendly friendship bands. Here are a few of my favourites:
Recent data obtained by the Liberal Democrats indicates that the UK's plans for rail electrification are woefully insufficient to meet the country's net zero emissions goal by 2050. The figures show that over the next three years, the UK is set to electrify only 162.5km (101 miles) of railway track, which is a mere 12% of what is estimated to be required during that period to align with the net zero target. To stay on track for net zero, approximately 448km of rail should be electrified each year, necessitating an eightfold increase in current plans.
A pioneering project in the Dutch city of Bolsward seeks to utilize the residual warmth from the extinct Zuidwal volcano, lying deep beneath the Wadden Sea, to provide sustainable energy to local homes. Spearheaded by Stichting Ontwikkeling Geothermie Friesland (Stogef), a community initiative, the plan aims to reduce reliance on wind turbines and tap into geothermal energy for a more reliable and constant power source. With the Netherlands possessing extensive subsurface data from its history as a major gas extractor, researchers have discovered a layer of porous stone with temperatures reaching approximately 90°C, making geothermal energy an attractive option.
The Finland-based startup, 18 Wheels developing the world's first eco-friendly all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The ATV is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, which produces no emissions and is very quiet. It also has a range of over 200 miles and can be refueled in minutes.
India is a major agricultural country, and its food security is essential for the country's economy and for the well-being of its people. However, climate change is posing a number of challenges to India's food security.
Amid a summer of record heat, the consequences are far-reaching, even under the Antarctic night. In a place known for its vast sea ice halo, a dramatic and unprecedented event is unfolding. Scientists are witnessing the staggering impact as sea ice growth stalls, entering what they call "six sigma" territory - a rarity beyond comprehension.
Madeira Island, a Portuguese archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, is known for its stunning scenery, mild climate, and delicious wine. But it is also becoming a leader in renewable energy.
The Horticulture Department and various NGOs are joining hands to make the Independence Day flower show at Lalbagh a zero-waste event. They are committed to reducing waste generation and promoting responsible practices during the event.
