The Chennai Climate Consortium What can accelerate industrial decarbonization? Many things, obviously. But can a local approach help? In my last 15 years in the climate tech sector, one thing I have seen is the speed at which solution adoption happens within geographical clusters. If a textile factory in Tiruppur...

The Importance of Deep Tech for India's Climate Tech - Priya Shah of Theia Ventures If you thought the world is in the midst of a decarbonization wave, here's news for you - we have barely started. Some of the relatively easier avenues of decarbonization, renewable energy & energy efficiency...

Solar power to travel across continents When completed, the ambitious 4000+ Km Sun Cable will transport power from solar farms put up in vast lands available in Australia to land starved, power-hungry Singapore. Extending this logic, is it possible that solar could one day be transmitted from one part of...

Algae - especially microalgae - has been the holy grail for biofuels for almost 25 years If scientists are still slogging at it, there's a reason. Microalgae can yield up to 50 times the oil compared to conventional oil crops, making it perhaps the only biomass feedstock that has the...

Coal power plants run at 35% efficiency Is it possible to increase it to 80%? Coal power plants are responsible for a very large portion of the 12 billion tons of CO2 annually emitted from power plants worldwide. And these plants will be operating for decades to come in many...

Three small countries in the world have something amazing to boast about - they are all carbon negative. Serious! Bhutan, Suriname, and Panama stand out from the rest of the world because they absorb more greenhouse gases than they emit. I was curious how this was possible, and it...

Oceans are by far the largest sinks of CO2, but… Oceans store about 38,000 billion tons of CO2 - more than ten times the amount of CO2 of all the other sinks COMBINED. So, should we store all the CO2 we capture over the next few decades under the...

Aircraft and battery size For all the talk about electric aviation, the industry is yet to figure out how to overcome a fairly hard problem - let’s call it the 40:1 problem Batteries - even the best of them - have energy densities of only about 300 Wh per...
