🌍 The Forgotten Visionary of Sustainable Energy Long before solar panels covered rooftops and wind turbines lined coastlines, Maria Telkes—known as “The Sun Queen”—was harnessing renewable energy to change the world. In the 1940s, Telkes developed one of the first solar-powered heating systems, and later created a solar distillation unit that turned seawater into drinkable water—saving countless lives. Despite her brilliance, she struggled for recognition in a male-dominated industry. Yet her innovations laid the groundwork for today’s solar technology and sustainable design. 💡 Her story reminds us that clean energy didn’t start with modern startups—it began with people who saw light in a different way. 👉 Who else do you think deserves more credit for building the foundation of renewable energy? #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #Innovation #Leadership #WomenInSTEM

True Green vs. Grey Green: Rethinking the Economics of Sustainability Over the years, I’ve been actively involved in several green initiatives, from green hydrogen and green ammonia to renewable power sources such as wind, wave, and solar. Since 2018, one thing has become clear: while the intent is green, the economics often aren’t. In many cases, projects struggle to remain viable. For example, if we produce green ammonia at twice the market price, can we truly call it green? In my view, such cases are “grey-green” where the environmental goals are noble, but the economics are unsustainable. When investors lose potential revenue, the project’s long-term impact weakens. We must focus on developing truly green projects — ones that are both environmentally sustainable and economically viable. This means optimizing methodologies, advancing technology development, and improving implementation strategies. When a green project stands strong both in technology and economics, only then can we call it “true green.” Let’s work towards this balance where research, technology, and economics go hand in hand to create sustainable projects that make sense for the planet and for the people investing in it. 🌍💡 #GreenEnergy #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #Innovation #Economics #Hydrogen #Ammonia #CleanTech

🎉 Thrilled to Share Our Latest Publication! 🌍📘 I’m delighted to announce that our book chapter titled “Progress or Illusion: The Reality of Sustainable Energy Transition Across the World” has been published by Springer Nature. 👥 Co-authors: D. Kalaiarasi, Madhu Druva Kumar, B. Keerthika, A. Salaijayamani, Konyn Tuba Lappay & Rohan Joseph 🔍 About the Chapter: The chapter explores the global shift from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources, analyzing how renewable and non-renewable energy use impacts economic growth in both developed and developing nations (1991–2020). Through multiple regression analysis, our findings highlight: 🌱 Developed countries (like Germany and the UK) are progressing steadily toward renewable energy, positively influencing GDP growth. ⚡ Developing countries (such as Brazil, China, and India) still face challenges, with declining renewable energy use and increased dependence on non-renewable sources. Our study emphasizes the urgent need for: ✅ Strengthened renewable energy policies ✅ Greater international collaboration ✅ Investments in sustainable infrastructure This work contributes to the ongoing discourse on global energy transition and sustainable development — a vital step toward achieving climate resilience and energy equity. 📖 You can access the chapter here: https://lnkd.in/gUP3AMWy #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition #ClimateChange #Research #SpringerNature #SustainableDevelopment #Economics #EnergyPolicy
