Pathways to Energy Efficiency

In this episode with Ashish Gupta, we discuss consumer purchase and usage behaviour with respect to Room Air Conditioners and how consumer behaviour can be steered towards more environmentally conscious choices. He talks about how consumer behaviour and preferences have evolved over the past couple of years, the role of star labelling in shaping consumer choices, and the significance of the Run@24 campaign in encouraging RACs users in India to use their RACs at 24°C or above.

In our episode with Sangeeta Mathew, we discuss the Energy Efficiency landscape for different sectors, such as agriculture, buildings, industries, municipalities, and transport, delving into State-level action. India can achieve its Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) on climate change only if each state and UT steer their climate actions and become leaders in implementing them at various local levels tune in to understand how the States are performing on the Energy Efficiency Index and what more needs to be done to overcome the challenges that riddle the sector.

This episode of our Podcast with Tarun Garg discusses Cold Chain Development in India. India is one of the largest producers of fruits and vegetables globally; however, the country witnesses a significant wastage through post-harvest losses. The wastage in the supply chain (post-harvest) not only has a financial impact that affects producers but also tends to have a multiplier effect on wastage of inputs like water, and fertilizers among others which exacerbates greenhouse emissions contributing to climate change. Tune in to hear more about what lies ahead for us.

In our episode with Shloka Nath, we reflect upon keeping the less privileged at the centre of our initiatives and efforts towards a sustainable future, and decode the importance of energy equity to win over the fight against poverty. Tune in and hear from the expert on the role of philanthropic institutions in boosting economic growth, while combating climate change at the same time. 

This podcast reflects light on the demand side of power and how the Indian energy sector has evolved over the years. 

In our conversation with Jyoti Mukul, we discuss how India’s energy landscape will possibly shape in the next 30 years to come, and how whether there is a straight road towards resolving the energy supply crunch— the BIG question of all times! 

Listen to this as we decode the role of demand side management in context of India and how it could aid the energy crisis in the days to come.

This episode sheds light on India's tryst with Energy Efficiency, what we mean by the term First Fuel, and how India's Energy Efficiency Journey so far will set a course of action for decarbonising the country. 

This episode delves into India’s evolving Electric Mobility landscape and touches upon issues related to EV charging, how we can make EVs affordable, and the need for consumer-friendly information to raise awareness around clean transport.

The episode talks about why the participation of youth is critical to protect the future of the planet, how youth can drive the agenda of energy efficiency and sustainability, the opportunities they have to make impact. It also talks about Solar Decathlon India Program and how it is shaping up a generation of energy enablers who will contribute towards India’s green energy transition.
