Blockchain’s Potential for Solar Powered EV Charging Stations Read more about Blockchain’s Potential for Solar Powered EV Charging Stations Electric Vehicles (EVs) are hailed as a silver bullet to reduce carbon emissions in smart cities. However, EV charging can destabilize the grid by spiking power demand. Evergo is a blockchain-based, plug-and-play backend system that addresses this challenge. It tracks energy trading and diversifies the energy mix for charging solutions. Evergo enables Machine-to-Machine communication between chargers, grid, and solar panels. It leverages on big data and analytics to provide smarter charging and load shifting.
Enabling Electric Vehicle Public Charging Stations in India Read more about Enabling Electric Vehicle Public Charging Stations in India The global electric vehicle sales are on the rise have surpassed 1 million units in 2017. As per the International Energy Agency's (IEA) estimates, there will be about 125 million EVs on the road by 2030. Proactive policy environment combined with declining battery costs and investment in setting-up charging infrastructure is driving this penetration. This presentation provides the key insights on business model and approach developed for EESL for rollout EV charging infrastructure in India.
Sustainable Mobility in the Public Transport Sector -- The Philippines Read more about Sustainable Mobility in the Public Transport Sector -- The Philippines The Philippines government decision to replace more than 4,000,000 old polluting Public Transport vehicles (PUVs) is commendable. In the longer term, non-fossil fuel PUVs are the sustainable solution –Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV). The challenge is to provide a financial mechanism that allows for marginalized borrowers to afford their vehicles, structure the PUV fleet management policy that enables all who wish to participate, provide a refueling infrastructure (battery charging) that guarantees an operational range without stopping to charge.
Renewable Energy Transition: Is Asia Leading? Read more about Renewable Energy Transition: Is Asia Leading? An Asia Clean Energy Forum (ACEF) 2019 Deep Dive Workshop Renewable energy uptake can be supported and driven by many players: policy-makers at global, national, and sub-national levels, citizens, private sector, energy consumers. In parallel, renewables can support the objectives of end-use sectors by delivering clean and sustainable energy options.
