None of us want to expose our families to toxins, especially not when we’re at home. When you take steps to detoxify your home environment, you can improve the health of everyone who lives there. Simple home detoxification steps can also help you be a more environmentally-friendly person. Many of the things that are harmful to your health or fill your home with toxins are also bad for the environment.

Abstract. The Green revolution brought about in India in 1960s was a game changer, it revolutionized agricultural production and perpetuated a paradigm shift in the Agrarian scenario. Objective was to transform India from a country facing extreme food scarcity and food insecurity to a country with self sufficiency in grains. With a planned and targeted strategy we achieved that and beyond, and state of Punjab was poster boy of this widely hailed success story but it came at the harrowing cost of

Many unforeseen circumstances can arise in businesses where they need to address their urgent attention towards something, and one of those could be air leak detection. This is an essential process for businesses as it enables them to not only help save on money on their energy bills but also the environment too. As mentioned by Direct Air , air leaks can lead to a higher level of carbon emission that leads to global warming and damage to the planet.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

Sponsored by Knowles Precision Devices. Many power electronics today are being designed for use in high-temperature, high-voltage environments, such as inside electric vehicles. However, size, weight, and power (SWaP) are also key factors driving electronic product development. These conflicting design criteria are an issue for many electrical engineers because space is not available to simply add a cooling system, as this will add weight and increase the product’s overall footprint.

A level playing field for different energy carriers to compete and coordinated decarbonisation must be supported, say the region’s TSOs. Hydrogen is set to play a major role in the energy system but so far represents only a modest fraction of the energy mix and the majority of it is produced from fossil fuels. For hydrogen to contribute to net-zero goals, its production needs to expand to a much larger scale, become fully decarbonised and find a cost-effective place in the electricity system, th
