India Substantially Increase its 'Clean' Energy Production

How India is excelling in creating alternative ways of energy generation is spectacular. The article below mentions what the government has done to increase our potential of generating 'Green & Clean' Energy. World Environment Day - Electrifying India with Solar Power.
Out of all other human activities, India contributes 8% towards the total global CO 2 emission by the cement industry worldwide. In pollution category, the Indian cement industry is marked under the “Red” category which represents highly polluting industries. Researchers all over the world are considering the various alternatives for reducing the CO 2 footprint of building materials. Buildings and constructions are one of the heaviest consumers of natural resources and are not even sustainable. As discussed above, the cement industry alone is responsible for contributing a significant portion of the greenhouse gases and affect climate change. The Navrattan Green Crete is a 'Green' Cement produced by Navrattan Green Cement Industries Pvt. Ltd. The Cement is stronger, ductile and has40% more compressive and tensile strength than Portland Cement. The manufacturing process of the Navrattan Green Crete requires significantly  less energy to produce, thus leaving a substantia

How Solar Electric Systems Work and Power Our Homes

In the wake of growing environmental concerns, the need for renewable sources of energy has seen a dramatic increase. One of the most popular alternatives to fossil fuel is solar power, but how to solar electric systems power our home? Elements Involved are: 1.       Solar Panels - Solar panel soaks in sunlight and converts it into usable energy. 2.       Photo Voltaic Cells –Photovoltaic cells are made of semiconductor material, co mmonly silicon. The Process: 1.       When the sun’s rays hit the cells, the absorbed photons get transferred to the silicon. 2.       The resulting energy from the absorbed light knocks loose electrons. 3.       The structure of the photovoltaic cells forces the electrons to flow in  a specific direction, creating an electric current 4.       Metal contacts placed above and below the cell draw the current away for use by the home Once the electric current is available it gets directed to  Micro inverter  which converts Direct C
