Solar Cold Storage: Green Energy Can Reduce Crop Wastage

To overcome the challenges of crop spoilage and high operating costs, solar cold storage are the most effective solution today. Crop spoilage in farms is a major obstacle that India faces. Erratic supply of electricity causes electricity-powered cold storages to remain inactive and storage conditions inside to not remain in the optimal range. On the… Read More »Solar Cold Storage: Green Energy Can Reduce Crop Wastage

Towards A Sustainable Future Driven By The Thrust of Organic, Flexible and Printable Solar Cells

Do you know that we are consuming natural resources at a much faster pace than we can possibly imagine? And that buildings make up for about forty per cent of the total demand for energy? Also, the fact that our buildings can be made in such a way that they are completely sustainable on their… Read More »Towards A Sustainable Future Driven By The Thrust of Organic, Flexible and Printable Solar Cells

Automation: The Holy Grail Of Modern Agriculture

Throughout the ages, yield from the farm has been majorly dependent on the manual effort put in by the agri community. External factors include weather, water supply and land condition. Introduction of automated equipment and sensorised devices for agriculture ensures that the yield keeps improving, even if other factors are not favourable. We look into… Read More »Automation: The Holy Grail Of Modern Agriculture

Ink From DG Sets

Founded by Kushagra Srivastava, Arpit Dhupar and Prateek Sachan, Chakr Innovation has devised a novel technology to capture particulate matter from diesel generators (DGs) without adversely impacting the engine’s performance or the environment. Moreover, they do not just dump or burn off the captured carbon. As carbon is a useful resource, they process the captured… Read More »Ink From DG Sets

Solar Pumps: Renewable Energy For Better Agriculture

Solar pumps have driven the Agri community towards uninterrupted high-yield farming. By replacing conventional diesel-driven pumps with solar pumps, farmers in rural parts of India have been able to triple their income. Government subsidies and private fundings are helping the farms improve for the better. How it works Solar pumps are especially useful for areas… Read More »Solar Pumps: Renewable Energy For Better Agriculture
