With a power grid that has been notoriously unreliable in the past, India’s goal to transform formerly passive consumers into prosumers would seem an uphill battle. The stakes are particularly high because India is the world’s third largest energy consumer.
The researchers call for urgent collaboration on: • Continuous air monitoring via a network of sensors in order to build a detailed picture of air pollution variations and track progress. Investment in clean energy such as solar, hydropower and wind to meet Africa’s energy demand which is expected to double by 2040.

"So Plus, renewable energy is more efficient than natural gas and coal-fired energy, which lose a lot of heat.
If you can source the hydrogen from renewable electricity, for example through electrolysis, then in theory you've got an almost zero-carbon steelmaking process. Last year, HYBRIT- a huge project between a Swedish iron ore producer, a steel manufacturer, and a power utility - produced the world's first zero-carbon steel.
1] Looking ahead, SCAG estimates that total demand for warehouse space in its region in 2040 will be between 1.514 billion square feet and 1.809 billion square feet. [2]. For example, the majority of natural gas-powered trucks operating in California today are running on renewable natural gas that can have a negative carbon intensity.
