Everything Environment by Mongabay IndiaGigaWhat: Building the backboneWe are all familiar with the buzzing sound under high-voltage power lines and transmission towers. The electricity passing through it is generated from coal power plants, solar parks, wind farms, dams and other sources. It passes through transmission networks and substations to eventually reach the end users. Day by day, the share of renewable power entering this system is increasing. However, the solar and wind farms that are coming up or expanding to meet India’s renewable energy goal are concentrated within a few states. India will need to upgrade and expand its transmission infrastructure to evacuate th...2022-09-0617 min
Everything Environment by Mongabay IndiaGigaWhat: Clean the messy trailThe clean energy sector maintains that it is crusading the fight against climate change. But first, governments and companies have to fix the road to making clean energy technologies. The supply chain to create clean energy technologies is riddled with issues. Unsustainable mineral extraction to make solar cells, wind turbines, electric vehicle batteries and other clean technologies pose high social and environmental risks. These scenarios are visible worldwide, especially in less industrialised nations. A secure and sustainable supply chain can contribute to a clean energy transition. In this episode of GigaWhat, Mongabay-India Contributing...2022-08-2718 min
Everything Environment by Mongabay IndiaGigaWhat: Creating rural jobs with renewablesLack of energy access limits the rural economy. But reliable electricity creates an infrastructure for rural entrepreneurs and gives people a chance to work on their aspirations. In rural India, decentralised renewable energy options – primarily solar power – are creating livelihood and business opportunities. Decentralised renewable energy systems are primarily independent of the central power grid and the energy is generated close to its area of use. To address daily issues that arise out of lack of power, startups and organisations are creating and modifying decentralised renewable energy (DRE) solutions in India’s villages, burgeoning towns and metros. ...2022-08-2220 min
Everything Environment by Mongabay IndiaGigaWhat: Clean-washing by dams?Hydropower has been an old and reliable source of energy in India. Until a few years ago, India considered a hydropower project renewable only when the installed capacity was less than 25 megawatt (MW). But then, in 2019, the government of India decided to consider large hydropower projects as renewable projects too. This makes hydroelectricity a vital part of India's clean energy targets - installing 500 gigawatt (GW) of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030. However, activists and researchers who have been working on issues related to the displacement of communities due to dam construction, and ecologists who study the impacts of...2022-08-1325 min
Everything Environment by Mongabay IndiaGigaWhat: Farms harvest solar energyWhat are the high hurdles for India to uplift its people and realise its potential on the world stage? Two of the most significant ones are securing food for its large population and providing enough energy to power homes and industries. As it has always been, land, as a resource, is a precious commodity for both farming, and energy production. On the one hand, it is estimated that nearly 58 percent of India’s 1.2 billion people are engaged in agriculture, which occupies 60 percent of its total land area. On the other hand, to generate electricity, the co...2022-04-2518 min
Everything Environment by Mongabay IndiaGigaWhat: Renewables go recklessThe loss of biodiversity, the sixth mass extinction, high chances that you would have heard these terms. It's clear what pushed us into this situation - overexploitation of natural resources, pollution, the way we farm, climate change and more. One big reason is that plants, animals and all other life forms on Earth that we collectively term as biodiversity are losing their natural spaces. Human activities have destroyed or degraded habitats such as forests, deserts, rivers, et cetera, making it hard for living organisms to survive. But why are we talking about biodiversity loss in...2022-03-2636 min
Everything Environment by Mongabay IndiaGigaWhat: Renewable energy, limited landLet's visualise the sheer expanse of one of India's largest solar parks, the Pavagada Solar Park in Karnataka. An aerial view of the site shows a never-ending sea of glass panels and wires spread across 13,000 acres. That is about 1/4th of the size of Kolkata city. Then there are smaller solar and wind power plants too. Some are even a fraction of the Pavagada solar plant. These power projects that harness unlimited sunlight and wind need another critical resource, a limited one… land. Land is essential to install solar panels, wind turbines and transmission lines. An...2022-03-1123 min
Everything Environment by Mongabay IndiaGigaWhat: Clean WasteThe world is looking towards the sun, wind, and other alternatives for energy, and so is India, as a way to tackle climate change and other environmental issues. The sight of solar and wind farms, rooftops lined with solar panels, and electricity-powered vehicles might soon be common. For the first episode of GigaWhat, we begin at the end. Where do solar modules go when they are no longer in use? What happens when a wind turbine finishes its lifecycle? Or when an electric car battery stops working? What happens to the materials that remain after...2022-02-2523 min
