The paucity in supply of fossil fuel and its escalating cost have encouraged researchers to device novel technologies to harness the energy stored in organic substances. Bioenergy is rapidly emerging as a viable alternative to fossil fuels, the dominant e
Why are we asking this now?The world population has just crossed the 7 billion mark, the last billion added in just 12 years. This continuing growth in population causes demands on all resources, including energy. Over 80 percent of world energy demand is
Why are we asking this now?The electrical grid is the system that brings the power generated in a power station to our homes through transformers, switches, transmission lines and cables. The present electrical grid is designed as a one-way street, to del
Data centers are the centralized repositories which store all our data from telecommunications to web hosting. These data centers are found to consume about 31GW of power annually and are the major contributors to the already rising carbon foot print. Wit
Robots are soon becoming the future of mankind. Most of the operations today, right from dish-washing to automobile-assembly, are handled by these machines. They have started to operate on their own with the advent of autonomous robots. These robots are f
The conventional sources of energy were considered to be highly unstable and polluting for our mother nature and there were no ways that time to get rid of these sources of energy. But with the rapid development of the green energy, the world saw a hope t
With the world holding out dumb processions against the laddering problem of global warming and researchers around the world striving their ways out to find solutions to this problem, any solution which is the next in the row is welcome with open arms. An
Why Now? The Polar ice-caps are melting everyday. Consequently, the sea levels are rising and the continental coastlines are receding. Greenhouse gas emission is the biggest reason behind this and the major factor is, of course, CO2 or carbon dioxide.
For those who want to keep a tab on the electricity consumption for their home or business, the Smart Meters are a great option. Unlike the traditional meters, the smart meter helps you in tracking your energy consumption on hourly, daily, weekly or month
Why we are asking this now? What we need is a cleaner, safer and a more abundant source of energy to meet our energy requirements. We have been relying on non-renewable sources of energy like coal and petroleum which are now at the verge of completely dr
