The critical role of IPPs in driving 250 GW of new energy
At a time when many countries struggle with energy nationalism and policy flip-flops, India’s independent power producer (IPP)-driven model offers a decentralised, market-based, and scalable solution to clean energy growth. Their role in catalysing 250 GW of new capacity by 2030 will be central to India’s climate pledges under the Paris Agreement and its goal of net-zero emissions by 2070.
India on track to surpass 2030 emission reduction target
India’s energy sector emission intensity could decrease by 48–57% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels—according to a new emissions modelling analysis by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) and the Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE).
How to combine photovoltaics with rainwater harvesting
Scientists have developed a system that harvests rainwater running off PV panels for household use or hydrogen production. Their analysis showed that, in the southern Sahel, the system can meet both the energy and water requirements for electrolysis, with surplus rainwater covering up to 50% of a household’s daily water demand.
RenewSys awarded EcoVadis Platinum rating for sustainability
RenewSys has become India’s first and only solar PV manufacturer to achieve EcoVadis Platinum rating, joining global top 1% in sustainability.
Aluminium sector could add up to 20 GW of solar and wind power capacity by 2030
With new smelting capacity on the horizon, the aluminium industry is well-positioned to drive a major shift toward clean energy, says a new report by JMK Research.
Leveraging ESG Tech for a resilient and decentralized energy grid
According to the “Energy Statistics India 2024” report by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, total emissions from the energy sector have been on the rise, underscoring the urgency for sustainable energy practices and stronger ESG-aligned interventions.
AI-driven carbon management: The future of global corporate sustainability
The future of global sustainability hinges on clarity—where every tonne of carbon saved is measured, understood, and built upon. For corporations ready to lead, artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t a distant horizon; it’s the lens through which progress comes into focus.
Empowering rural communities: The impact of solar cooking solutions
Solar cooking solutions are not just technological advancements but transformative tools for sustainability, health, and economic empowerment
Indian heavy industries present 20 GW open access solar opportunity
A new report by Ember finds that steel, cement, and aluminium industries can profitably integrate 20 GW of solar power to run their operations.
India’s municipal green bonds market could mobilise up to $2.5 billion with right reforms: CEEW Green Finance Centre
A report by the CEEW Green Finance Centre (CEEW-GFC) says 60% of municipal bonds by value issued so far could have been labelled green but were not, missing cost-saving and investor opportunities. It recommends targeted reforms and structured support to help municipalities access climate finance at scale.
