Ramesh Gowani the owner of Kamala Mills in Mumbai has grabbed every opportunity in business to mark his territory. After having identified the potential in renewable energy, Ramesh Gowani set up multiple renewable energy plants in India. These power plants were set up decades ago which today produces renewable energy supplied to leading corporates and playing an active role in the climate action by the country. A decade ago set up the MPPL Renewable Energy plant at Mallavali, Karnataka. The plant has a capacity of producing 4.5 MW of biomass power. Ramesh Gowani has also been the brainchild for Set…

New Delhi: A team of scientists has fabricated a simple, cost-effective, bio-compatible, nanogenerator that can generate electricity from mere vibrations for use in optoelectronics, self-powered devices, and other biomedical applications. Search for renewable energy resources with reduced carbon emissions is one of the most urgent challenges due to the increasing threat of global warming and the energy crisis. Among other things, mere vibrations are being harnessed to produce electricity. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) are new energy devices that generate electricity from vibrations. They work on the principle of the creation of electrostatic charges via instantaneous physical contact of two dissimilar materials…
