Renewable EnergyClean energy: lessons from Austriaedit
Goyal said that India can learn from Austria’s experience in hydropower, flexible solar module technology, waste processing, technology for commercial beverage chilling for reduced energy consumption and bio-diesel production from waste cooking oil. He said that Austrian companies will have to transform from technology of exclusivity to technology of inclusivity to expand in India.
Renewable EnergyBoosting productivity and making it lastedit
Coal reserves will begin to decline, and the costs of extraction will rise. Without a new energy source, peak coal will eventually send productivity growth toward zero, as it becomes prohibitively expensive to get the energy needed for the production of other goods and services. But if the world invests in a less scarce power source, like solar, there will be much less of a long-term limitation on energy production.
