Dear Readers,
Greetings from the Centre for Science and Environment!!
In a positive reflection, Renewable Energy for the first time is reportedly gaining momentum in attracting capital flow worldwide surpassing fossil fuels based energy systems. It obviously indicates an increasing emphasis on RE to negate and offset the horrifying impact of climate change. However, as it happens, there is a cost. Solar being the driving resource in RE growth, it has now begun to present a challenge of \managing and dealing with a huge perceived challenge of solar waste. Fossil fuels, on the other hand are still an important part of growth paradigm for the nations, especially in the wake of Ukraine war, as evident from the sheer size of capital flow by advanced economies which is to the tune of USD 1.4 Trillion.
Smaller RE systems are proving to be instrumental in accelerating the achievement of energy access objectives and inclusive development to cater to the growing aspirations of rural communities in developing economies, prominently India and Africa. While such demands are met through energy service enterprises and the governments collectively, one cannot ignore the challenges and failures that accompany such interventions paving the way for innovation, technology advancement and experiments all working in tandem.
CSE, in its attempts to keep the readers updated on these aspects pertaining to energy and climate change; and to develop a better understanding of various environmental issues, regularly organizes workshops and training programs to provide experience of first-hand learning of the topics spanning across these sensitive subjects. I would sincerely urge the readers to participate in such programs relevant to your area of interest and expertise. Links to such programs along with list of latest publications is provided hereunder. Hope you find it useful. I very much look forward to receiving your inputs and feedback on our work so that we can serve you better and keep you better informed about various developments in India as well as globally on these matters of interest.
Last but not the least, I wish to extend my sincere thanks for your continued interest in our work and being an avid reader of CSE RE’s Energy Transitions Newsletter.

FIGURING IT OUT |

The majority of the older turbines of India’s existing 40 GW wind capacity have the potential to be recycled and reused says Kedar Balasubramanian, a clean energy expert based out of Germany.This has the potential tonot only add 1,860 GW of cumulative wind potential, but also support more jobs in India.
