Carbon Capture and Storage(CCS) is one of those innovative solutions that came to the limelight as a part of the rigorous attempts to scale down the massive amounts of emission. It is an attempt to curb the problem at its source as it is being widely employed in inevitable industries which invariably cause emissions. Besides these, standalone CCS plants like the newly unveiled ORCA in Iceland could have a major role in reducing atmospheric pollution directly. Here is a brief outline of the concept of CCS, which could have an immense impact in sustaining our sustainability goals..

With the wind and the tide, all in its favor, E-mobility is setting sail for new horizons. Massive push from Central and state governments via incentives and rebates have provided the necessary push for EVs. And the customers are more than happy to adopt an EV as their next vehicle. With the industry booming, investors and stock market geeks are zooming in on the EV sector. But, within the rather nascent Indian EV industry, options are not abundant. Here are a few companies that are both associated with E-mobility and are listed in the stock market.

Old and obsolete tech are always detrimental to efficiency. When it’s a vehicle, it’s even worse. Along with wasting energy, it pollutes the environment and causes considerable risk for road transit. Although there were scrapping centres, they weren’t always used in a centralized manner and whatever mechanism existed for the same resembled an old obsolete vehicle in being vastly inefficient. Now, finally in 2021, GoI has brought in the Vehicle Scrappage policy and it is aimed at incentivising vehicle scrapping rather than blindly enforcing it on the people. Let’s have a brief look at what it has in store...

Once in a while, we are presented with an eye-opener. Or, maybe everything we are presented with are eye-openers, but we miss a majority of them. Either way, the ongoing global chip shortage surely offers certain valuable lessons for us. The extent to which we depend on technologies is certainly not one of them; we knew that beforehand. But the extent to which our existing technologies depend on semiconductor technology is revealed herewith; and the woes in its manufacturing and supply chain. We have been too dependent on silicon-based tech for so long that maybe this is a wake-up call to seek alternatives. In any case, here is the tale of chip shortage. From reasons, through repercussions to the impact on EVs.

What does the word ‘city’ remind you of? Busy streets, noisy vehicles, disturbingly polluted air etc.? At this point in time, a ‘city’ could be well defined as ‘something that people think would always lose to the countryside in being more comfortable’. Well, what if we had a city that does not belong to any of these stereotypes? What if we had a city that was truly sustainable? Saudi Arabia absolutely has this vision as they have already set out on a mission to build a city, in a way that none of us have ever seen before. Here is the tale of what could be defined as the most futuristic city in the world.
