When it comes to building our future infrastructure, steel will undoubtedly be the most crucial resource. Steel manufacturing is still an energy-intensive process, with the great majority of energy coming from fossil fuels, notwithstanding some movement from coal to coking coal. It is responsible for about 7-9 per cent of all direct emissions from fossil fuels worldwide, with coal burning accounting for the majority of these.   G V Sanjay Reddy   believes that there is a future where renewables will be the dominant form of energy. In support of this, he shares insights on how to catalyse our growth towards green steel and reduce coal from the equation. Notably, renewable energy capacity is expected to grow by 50 per cent between 2019 and 2024, according to the International Energy Agency. This growth of 1,200 GW is similar to the United States' present overall power capacity. Solar is estimated to account for approximately 60 per cent of the expected growth, with onshore wind ...

  GHG emissions are emitted by airports that use ground fuel for cars and ground support equipment (GSE), fossil fuel for electricity and heating, jet fuel for auxiliary power units (APUs) that provide energy to planes at airport gates, and other sources. Around 2.1 per cent of all human-induced carbon dioxide emissions come from the aviation industry and it is responsible for 12 per cent of CO2 emissions from all modes of transportation. The impact of carbon emissions on our world has become a source of concern in the last decade. Airlines, airports, and other stakeholders must work together to reduce it. The Airports Council International has developed a carbon neutrality accreditation programme for airports that will help them cut carbon emissions. On a similar line, India's Aviation Minister, Jyotiraditya Scindia, has indicated that we will do a carbon mapping of all the airport assets as part of a larger effort to make the aviation sector carbon-neutral. To deal with the probl...
