Abstract: Today, India is one of the youngest nations in the world with more than 62 per cent of its population in the working age group (15-59 years) and more than 54 per cent of its total population below 25 years of age. Its population pyramid is expected to bulge across the 15-59 age group over the next decade. It is further estimated that the average age of the population in India by 2020 will be 29 years as against 40 years in USA, 46 years in Europe, and 47 years in Japan. In fact, during the next 20 years, the labour force in the industrialized world is expected to decline by 4 percent, while it will increase by 32 percent in India.

Abstract: Solar cells, popularly known as PV cells, are actually electrical devices which help us to convert solar energy into direct current. When these cells are exposed to sunlight, they absorb protons and after completing the gap between two poles electric current starts to flow. These cells are helpful in controlling the voltage of electricity generated with reaction of positive and negatives cells. This field of technology came into practical use a few decades ago. when researchers were trying to find an affordable and efficient means of producing energy through the use of renewable resources.

Subject: Water Hyacinth An Option for Biogas production
Keywords: Water Hyacinth, Option, Biogas Production
Abstract: Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), one of the important invasive aquatic species, commonly covers the surface of rivers and lakes an causes a series of environmental problems due to its rapid growth and high reproducibility in both clear water and wastewater. Thus, it is also considered as a noxious weed as it grows very fast and depletes nutrients and oxygen rapidly from water bodies; adversely affecting flora and fauna. There have been instances of completer blockage of waterways by water hyacinth thus, making fishing and recreation very difficult. Under favourable conditions, water hyacinth can achieve a growth rate of 17.5 metric tonnes per hectare per day. Loss of water, through evapotranspiration, also occurs due to the presence of water hyacinth in water bodies, such as lakes and dams. It also provides a favourable habitat for mosquitoes and diseases.

Abstract: Shri Moon Kalita lives with his wife and two children in a small settlement close to the banks of the Brahmaputra River in upper Assam. Depending heavily on costly kerosene for lighting in the evening, he has been considering for quite some time to buy a small solar home system which would make him and his family more independent when it comes to electricity supply. However, the upfront costs for the system where far too high and although he works as a labourer on one of the tea plantations, he did not have the cash at hand to invest in such a system. He talked to banks to get loan but to his utter surprise the loan amount he asked for was too little and the banks refused point blank to give him the money.

Subject: Rooftop Solar PV A win-Win Situation for Discoms
Keywords: Rooftop Solar PV, Discoms
Abstract: In its Commitment to renewable energy, India had set an ambitious target of setting up an additional installed capacity of 175 Gigawatt (GW) through renewable energy by 2022.Of this target, 100 GW has been apportioned for solar photovoltaic (PV), out of which further 40 GW target has to be met through rooftop solar (RS) PV systems. With the falling capital cost of installation leading to solar tariffs falling significantly over the years, there has been a dramatic growth in this sector. While the solar PV industry in itself has seen overall growth, the rooftop solar PV segment is expected to achieve momentum in the coming years. Of the 40 GW to be installed by 2022, around 3.58 GW has been installed so far by March 2018.This number is mainly due to some distribution companies DISCOMS) showing inhibition in promoting rooftop solar PV systems, fearing revenue loss. These Discoms also anticipate technical and operational challenges from such systems. Further. Due to the small size of solar rooftop projects and issues of payment security, financing for these projects is not available easily.

Subject: Implementing the Co-benefits approach in India
Keywords: Co-benefits approach, India
Abstract: In Climate and sustainable development literature, the approach of studying, implementing, and replicating positive externalities of an action is what we may understand as the co-benefits approach. Implementing this approach requires fostering an environment for problem solving by encouraging the idea that the solution to global problems, such as climate change and development, have more synergies with each other than trade-offs. It aims to peel through the layers of international politics and diplomacy to bring to reality solutions on ground. For India, ensuring that its principal developmental challenges are met would require significant investment; not only in terms of infrastructure but also interms of research and development. The co-benefit approach endores an approach recommending multiple benefits, a significant one being economies of scale from collaborations, which would not be accrued by individual country action. Another benefit is that this approach can be studied at disaggregated levels and emulated successfully under similar circumstances.

Abstract: Agriculture is the main source of livelihood in rural India, contributing to food security. Two-thirds of the total irrigated area in India uses groundwater pumping. Powered by more than 2 crore electric and 75 lakh diesel pumps. Thus, agriculture is a major consumer of electricity, accounting for nearly one-fifth of the total consumption in the country. In many states, this is much higher at one-fourth or one-third of the state’s total consumption. to groundwater depends on reliable and affordable electricity supply. This is an important issue as it concerns livelihoods of the rural poor and food security of the country. Since the 1970s, agriculture in many states has been receiving electricity at either low tarrifs or for free. Much of their supply is un-metered .Subsidized supply has played a key role in the growth of groundwater irrigation and agriculture production. Due to the lower tariff and poor revenue collection, agricultural sales are often seen as a major reason for the financial losses of distribution companies (discoms).Part of this loss is then recovered through higher tariffs for other consumers such as industry and commercial (called cross-subsidy), and the remaining through direct subsidy from the state government.

Abstract: Wind energy stands tall amongst all the renewable energy sources in terms of installation capacity and energy generation in India. Out of the total renewable energy installation capacity of 78GW, wind energy contributes to more than 35 GW as on March 2019 and the national target is to achieve 60GW of wind energy installations by 2022.The on shore wind energy potential estimated by the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) stands at 300 GW at 100 m hub height. However, it has been observed in recent past that, many onshore wind energy projects are diversely affected due to land acquisition isssues. Further, the tariff discovered through e-auction started moving upwards on account of exhaustion of best wind sites.

Abstract: The concept of solar parks has emerged as a powerful tool for the rapid development of solar power projects under the National Solar Mission (NSM) of India .Assured availability of land and transmission infrastructure are the major benefits of a solar park. The recent downward trends in solar tariff may be attributed to the factors, such as economies of scale, assured availability of land and power evacuation systems under solar park. The Solar Park Scheme aims to provide a huge impetus to solar energy generation by acting as a flagship demonstration facility to encourage project developers and investors, prompting additional projects of similar nature, triggering economies of scale for cost-reductions, technical improvements and achieving large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Abstract: Before solar power became a buzzword, thanks to the plummeting electricity tariffs under the National Solar Mission, it was a part of a silent evolution at my home. Placed elegantly on the top of the lid of a cylindrical structure made of translucent plastic, a 12-Watt solar photovoltaic (PV) module powered a small light emitting diode (LED) inside the container. The modern day solar lantern came into my household when my father ordered one over the internet, one and a half decade ago. It provided fulfilling illumination and was a big relief over the Petromax. The irritating, eye –burning luminance of the burning bulb was replaced by the brighter, soothing light of the solar lantern.

Abstract: Bamboo and its derivatives fall within the category of biomass, a biodegradable substance, essentially a product of photosynthesis and a natural solar cell storing in some form or other, solar energy, and this energy can be meaningfully extracted through application of appropriate technology. The energy stored in biomass is measured by its heating value. The work so far carried out in biomass has established the fact that on dry mineral matter all types of biomass whether wood, rice husk, biodegradable substances, etc., have the same properties in respect of proximate and ultimate analysis., calorific value , etc. A mere study of such parameters can identify and differentiate biomass from other types of fuels-whether solid or liquid.
