In this paper, we study the concept of energy efficiency and specific energy consumption (SEC) of manufacturing processes.
Over the past decade, India’s cities have been witnessing an increasing trend in motorization with deteriorating air quality, and there have been calls to promote public transport as a way out of this gridlock.
The novel coronavirus pandemic has brought the world to a standstill.
COVID-19 has rattled global industrial production by disrupting supply chains of raw materials and intermediates.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are all set to play a critical role in India’s transition to a green economy.
Under phase II of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles (FAME) India policy, it has been envisioned to introduce 7,000 e-buses across the country by 2025.
Electric buses (e-buses) have caught the attention of the Indian public transport operators due to their ability to address the issues of rising greenhouse gas emissions, and air and noise pollution caused by conventional fuel buses.
Phase II of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles (FAME) India is envisioned to introduce 7,000 e-buses across the country by 2024.
With the impetus provided by phase I and II of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme, many state transport undertakings (STUs) have started deploying electric buses (e-buses) in their fleet.
In recent years, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 25.
Electric buses (e-buses) offer a more efficient, cleaner, and quieter alternative to the diesel buses currently run in Indian cities.
According to data from the International Energy Agency (2020) and the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (2018), it is estimated that more than 90% of CO2 emissions from the transport sector is from road transport.
India today has over 9 lakh registered electric vehicles (EVs).
A spate of EV explosions in India has raised safety concerns about the technology.
India’s energy sector will face two key challenges in the future.
With India’s ambitious 2030 clean energy targets and the 2070 net-zero goal, more was expected from the Union Budget 2023-24 to increase the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) and solar photovoltaics (PVs).
