MNRE Initiates Small Biogas Projects

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has launched initiatives to promote small-scale biogas projects. This move underlines MNRE's commitment to fostering sustainable energy solutions and expanding renewable energy access across India.

The small biogas projects aim to leverage organic waste for the generation of biogas, contributing to both waste management and energy production objectives. By encouraging the adoption of biogas technology at the grassroots level, MNRE seeks to address environmental concerns while providing clean energy alternatives to rural communities.

These initiatives align with India's broader renewable energy goals and support the government's efforts to promote decentralised energy generation and rural development. By promoting small biogas projects, MNRE aims to enhance energy access, reduce dependence on traditional fuels, and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.

Overall, MNRE's initiatives to promote small biogas projects signify a significant step towards sustainable energy development in India. By tapping into the potential of biogas technology, MNRE aims to create opportunities for economic growth, environmental conservation, and energy security at the local level.

No glass boxes!

India is moving away from the ‘glass box’ syndrome, all-glass façades that were widely used in commercial buildings in the last two decades but came at a significant environmental cost given the country’s predominantly hot and humid climate. Poor thermal performance, excessive heat gain and dependency on mechanical cooling systems made buildings with glass façades energy guzzlers and significantly increased their carbon footprint.That said, it’s important to be aware that “glass is not the enemy,” points out Heena Bhargava, Architect, Architecture Discipline. “How it ..

Why do pavements fail?

India’s highways continue to expand at a healthy pace. But conversations on the surface quality of highways are growing louder because major deficiencies and black spots continue to be identified, and they are cause for concern.“Road surface roughness causes vehicle vibrations that, in turn, can affect the performance of drivers,” explains Dr V K Gahlot, Road Safety Auditor, Centre for Research and Sustainable Development (CfRSD). “Continuous exposure may induce fatigue, a contributory factor to road accidents. Road surface roughness also affects the vehicle operating cost...
