Decarbonizing industrial energy use: The business case for real-time ESG monitoring

Decarbonizing energy use in industry is a core part of India’s sustainable development agenda. Real-time ESG monitoring is a powerful approach to achieve this goal, with advantages that go beyond environmental compliance to operational excellence and competitive advantage.

Technical guidebook for building-integrated photovoltaics

As the global transition toward sustainable energy intensifies, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) has emerged as a critical innovation in merging renewable energy with architectural design. The recently published guidebook “Building-Integrated Photovoltaics: A Technical Guidebook,” edited by IEA PVPS Task 15 experts Nuria Martín Chivelet, Costa Kapsis, and Francesco Frontini, offers a comprehensive resource for architects, engineers, and urban planners looking to integrate BIPV into the built environment. This article explores the book’s key insights, including applications, challenges, and future pathways.

Compressed air energy storage system for homes, businesses

Segula Technologies has launched its Remora Stack product, a containerized isothermal air compression storage solution the company claims is 70% efficient.

Bridging the digital divide: The reality of transformation in renewable energy

Digital adoption across the renewable energy value chain reveals a stark imbalance. Operations and maintenance (O&M) has embraced digitalization most enthusiastically, with SCADA systems and IoT-enabled devices revolutionizing efficiency through real-time monitoring and resource optimization. However, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) processes remain surprisingly under-digitized despite their critical importance.
