Earth has reached the brink when it comes to consumption of energy or non-renewable resources today. Added to that is the fact that India lists as the third-largest emitter of carbon dioxide emissions in the world. With a growing population and awareness resting with only a few, the situation demands innovations and technology that not only offer a solution today but can be utilized for the future.

With constantly growing demands for natural and renewable sources of energy, the Earth is unable to regenerate all the amount of resources utilized in a year within the same period, setting an irreversible trend of resource deficit in motion. Along with an unprecedented amount of consumption of these resources comes the unprecedented emission of billions of tons of CO2. In fact, in just the past two years, humanity has generated more than 80 billion tons of carbon emissions.

Showing its commitment towards sustainability, in December 2020, India set the foundation of what is deemed to be the world’s largest hybrid renewable energy park across 72,000 hectares, set to generate a humongous 30 giga-watts of electricity to help in reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by up to 50 million tons every year. These emerging projects and initiatives portray how India is an eminent figure in planning and developing technologies and strategies for eco-friendly developments.
