The major global concern on energy is focused on conventional fossil resources. The burning of fossil fuels is an origin of greenhouse gas emissions resulting in the utmost threat to the environment and subsequently which leads to global climate changes. As far as sustainability is concerned, fuels and materials derived from organic or plant wastes overcome this downside establishing the solution to the fossil resource crisis.

Global dependence on fossil fuels in the transport sector has been a key driver of climate change and air pollution. In India, motorized transport accounts for a large share of the country’s total GHG emissions. Therefore, the swift replacement of internal combustion engines (ICE Vehicles) with Electric Vehicles (EVs) is imperative to decarbonize India’s transport sector.

Air pollution causing heart diseases
Research Paper
| April 1, 2022
AIR pollution poses as much health hazard as tobacco smoking, according to a paper published in Cancer Biology & Medicine (Zhao, 2019). Fine particles floating in the air, known as PM2.5, present the greatest threat to human health among the air pollutants. These microscopic particles are ten times finer than the thickness of our hair. While breathing in polluted air, PM2.5 quickly reaches our lungs and blood circulation and remains there for a long time.
