Abstract: Our energy requirements are almost fully provided by carbon-containing fossil sources, such as oil, coal, and natural gas. The rapid use of these fossil resources causes an accelerated release of the bound carbon as CO2.The increased CO2 concentration in atmosphere is hazardous for the nature and has resulted into global warming. The need of the hour is to switch to an efficient fuel with zero carbon footprint and this path can be achieved by using biofuels.

Abstract: Seaweeds are found abundantly in the north Atlantic coast of North America and Europe, west to southeast seaboard of South America and west and southern coast of Australia. In the Indian context, seaweeds grow in large quantities along of the coasts of Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and in certain regions of Lakshadweep, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. There are also very rich seaweeds diversity in the coastal lines of Mumbai, Ratnagiri, Goa, Karwar, Varkala, Vizhinjam and Pulicat, and Chilka. Many surveys have been conducted in various maritime states of India in the last four decades to identify the resources of seaweeds along the coast.

Abstract: A comprehensive definition of an ideal village was proposed by late Dr. APJ Kalam as 'PURA' village for provisioning urban amenities for rural areas. A smart village build around the vision of PURA. In our view, a smart village addresses the elements of PURA through both 'hard' interventions, such as agricultural improvement, energy sufficiency, rural industry and locally relevant livelihood, water and waste mangement ,and improved digital connectivity, as well as 'soft' interventions, such as good governance, better public health services, sanitation, civic services, education and skill development, along with climate change adaptation.

Abstract: Desert areas, such as Rajasthan in India, receive reasonable direct normal irradiation (DNI) on account of being located at the equatorial belt. Concentrated solar thermal (CST) system, for example heliostat based, can be utilized for harnessing solar energy for applications, such as electricity, process het and cooling. However, it must be emphasized that adaptation of such CST concepts to local conditions, such as the arid desert in Rajasthan, is necessary for long-term reliable operation.

Abstract: Installing solar panels on rooftops, canal tops, and barren lands has been a regular proactive nowadays. But, majority of the installations are not well maintained and are left unatteneded under the open sky. Solar panels require minimum maintenance, but they are not completely maintenance free. Before installing the panels a through survey of the site considering the environmental factors affecting the performance of the solar panels must be carried out with the ultimate goal of maximizing the power collection capacity as well as efficiency of the system.
