Combustion/Incineration

Combustion/Incineration Combustion is a chemical reaction that occurs between a fuel and an oxidizer, releasing heat and light. The most common type of combustion is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Combustion is also used in many industrial processes, such as the production of electricity and the manufacture of … Read more

Catalyst

Catalyst Catalyst, in chemistry, any substance that increases the rate of a reaction without itself being consumed. ENZYMES are naturally occurring catalysts responsible for many essential biochemical reactions. Most solid catalysts are metals or the oxides, sulfides, and halides of metallic Elements and of the semimetallic elements boron, aluminum, and silicon. Gaseous and liquid catalysts … Read more

Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme: Fueling India’s Green Future India, with its burgeoning population and rapidly growing economy, faces a significant challenge in meeting its energy demands while simultaneously mitigating the environmental impact of fossil fuel consumption. The Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme, a strategic initiative aimed at blending ethanol with petrol, emerges as a … Read more

Fuel Cells

Fuel Cells: The Future of Energy? Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert the chemical energy of a fuel, typically hydrogen, into electrical energy through a chemical reaction. Unlike batteries, which store energy, fuel cells continuously generate electricity as long as fuel and oxidant are supplied. This technology holds immense potential for a cleaner and … Read more

Importance of renewable resources – Solar, Wind, small/Mini/Micro hydel, Biomass, waste based, geothermal, tidal & fuel cells

Importance of renewable Biodiversity can be decreased by increased erosion and thus sedimentation due to deforestation due to construction work and resettlement. Large hydropower plants’ reservoirs produce a significant amount of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxides and methane, in some cases emissions are found to be higher than from plants running from fossil fuels. … Read more
