Aureus Technology

AuREUS , developed by Carvey Ehren Maigue, converts food waste into electricity by utilizing luminescent particles extracted from fruit and vegetable waste. These particles absorb ultraviolet (UV) light and convert it into visible light, which is then captured by solar cells integrated into the material, producing electricity. This innovative approach allows for electricity generation even in indirect sunlight, making it suitable for cloudy areas and urban environments.    What is AuREUS Technology for Electricity?  AuREUS (Aurora Renewable Energy and UV Sequestration) is an innovative solar technology that converts ultraviolet (UV) light into electricity, even in the absence of direct sunlight. Developed by Filipino engineer Carvey Ehren Maigue, AuREUS leverages recycled food waste by extracting luminescent particles from discarded fruits and vegetables. These special particles are embedded into a resin, forming translucent panels that absorb UV rays and re-emit them...

Vegan Leather

Vegan leather is a synthetic or plant-based alternative to traditional animal leather. It’s designed to mimic leather’s look and feel without using animal hides, making it cruelty-free. There are two main types: synthetic versions, like polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which are petroleum-based plastics, and plant-based options, which use renewable resources like pineapple leaves (Piñatex), cactus, mushrooms (mycelium), apple peels, or even recycled materials. The renewability angle is where it gets interesting. Synthetic vegan leather isn’t inherently renewable since it relies on fossil fuels, though recycling advances are improving its lifecycle. Plant-based vegan leather, on the other hand, leans heavily into renewability. For example, cactus leather from Desserto uses nopal cactus, which grows with minimal water and no irrigation, regenerating naturally. Piñatex taps pineapple leaf waste—stuff that’d otherwise rot—turning it into a renewable resource. Mycelium leathe...

Hydrogen as Renewable Energy

Hydrogen Energy Hydrogen is the most abundant. Hydrogen gas has remarkable characteristics including colorless, tasteless and invisible that make it hotly pursued. It can also be transformed into a renewable, nonpolluting and zero-emission energy resource. It's viewed as the foundation of the new energy economy. The quest for hydrogen energy started way back in 1776 by the British researcher Henry Cavendish.  He initially recognized it as a particular component after he created hydrogen gas by oppressing zinc metal to hydrochloric corrosive. Henry Cavendish made another wonderful disclosure during an exhibition to the Royal Society of London when he acquainted a sparkle with hydrogen gas, delivering water simultaneously. This noteworthy advancement prompted his decision that water (H2O) is made out of hydrogen and oxygen. From that point forward, hydrogen innovation has filled quickly, and today, it is utilized as a fuel source to control vehicles, electric frameworks, and the crea...

Sustainable Energy in India: Current Status and Future Potential

Sustainable Energy in India It isn't covered up any longer that India has a huge supply of inexhaustible assets and it has one of the biggest projects in the world for sending sustainable power source items and frameworks. India is the main nation on the planet to have a restrictive service for sustainable power source improvement, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) which has propelled one of the world's biggest and aggressive projects on the sustainable power source. This article gives a short review of different sustainable power source assets, their status in India, the financial effect of sustainable power source assets (RES), challenges related with it and the eventual fate of RES in India. Renewable Energy versus Coal Vitality is viewed as the most critical structure hinder in human advancement and it is a key factor that impacts the manageable improvement of any country. The ordinary sources have a scary shadow on our present and future worldwid...

SOLAR Energy

The visible and near visible (Ultra-Violet and near Infrared) electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by the Sun is termed as Solar Radiation . The solar radiation has a spectral or wavelength, distribution that corresponds to different energy levels, short wavelength radiation has a higher energy than long wave length radiation. These solar radiation convert into useful forms of energy such as "heat and electricity", using a variety of technologies. The technical feasibility and economical operation of these technologies at a specific location depends on the available solar radiation or solar resource. Photovoltaic Effect :- Photo-voltaics are the technology for conversion of solar radiation (sunlight) directly into electricity. A photo-voltaic cell also called a PV or a solar cell is the device used for this purpose. The PV technology has  emerged as a promising technology to generate electricity for small applications like lighting and meeting other electric...
