Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Potential of Electric Vehicles (4-Wheeler)

Currently, the #indian #electricalvehicle #industry (IEVI) has gathered momentum due to a rise in #crudeoil prices and support provided to the IEVI by #governmentsupport. People are readily adopting Electrical Vehicles (EVs), intending to reduce monthly expenditures. However, there is still a need for advancement in infrastructure facilities, including #greenenergy supply, #chargingstations, and highly efficient charging systems for the mass shift from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs.

In 2019, EVs represented only 0.1% of total #fourwheeler (4W) light-duty passenger road vehicle sales. When the life cycle #greenhousegas (GHG) emissions compared the 3 Nos. of most popular brands of the available EVs with the available counterpart light-duty passenger road vehicles based on Petrol (Spark Ignition), and Diesel (Compression Ignition), the picture becomes hazier.

The green-colored positive value denotes the percentage #emissionsreduction. However, the red-colored negative value means that the EV 4W emits higher GHG than its counterparts. The map showing the #greenhousegasemissions reduction potential of EVs 4W indicates the significance of the source of #powergeneration.

Are we still thinking of business only?

So called Sustainable Policies Leading to Catastrophe

Sustainable Development is a very complex idea, which makes it is very difficult to understand, even to the Policymakers. “Sustainable Development is the development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” - Brundtland Commission Ministries of the Government of India have come up with various schemes from time to time. Not getting into any political debate, if one look closely the policy making has been boomed from 2015. However, it seems like policymakers have misinterpreted the sustainable development terminology and/or the pressure of making more number of policies had requisite them to make contradictory policies, which shall lead to catastrophe. For example, consider the case of "Water Resource in India". India represents 16% of the World Population, accounts for 2.45% of Land Area and Only 4% of Water Resources of the World. The government had alrea...

Heliosphere and Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

Heliosphere and Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation During the discussion on how to harness the #energy radiated by the #sun , to become a type 2 #civilization characterized by Kardashev, the question arises we are not even close to type 1 civilization, and we are thinking of type 2 and 3. On further discussion, we identified the heliosphere, the protective magnetic bubble generated due to charged particles (electrons and ions or plasma) streaming away from the Sun, which can be a possible explanation of #cosmic #microwave #background ( #cmb ) #radiation . Considering the heliosphere distance of 100 AU (Astronomical Unit) from the Sun, our #earth is approximately at the center of the heliosphere with a distance variation of about 0.01 times the 100 AU. Bingo! If this is true, can microwave photons having an energy of about one micro electron volts (eV) to 0.001 electron volts readily be scattered by the heliosph...

True Zero Liquid Discharge

Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), a process which is meant to be beneficial to effluent generating organizations, by saving money, as well as "Environment" , as nearly all the generated waste have been reused back. ZLD can be achieved by following means, 1) Thermal Operations 2) Filtration Operations 3) Combinations of Both The main constraint of above-mentioned means are, the both technologies require high CAPEX as well as OPEX. Consequently, water treatment experts were seeking for new innovative means, by which they can achieve ZLD, in most Economical Way. The process, which makes me write this article , one of the most adopted ZLD System, for Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plant Reject, is Spaying Reject into the Atmosphere. The said system looks like this Coming to the point, which your "So-called Water Treatment Experts" didn't tell you, is ZLD simply means, "ZERO LIQUID DISCHARGE". Spraying high Total Dissolved S...
