DECEMBER 20238THE GREENTECHREVOLUTIONn the face of escalating environmental challenges, the emergence of environmental technology, often referred to as green or clean tech, provides a beacon of hope for a sustainable future. This diverse field spans industries such as agriculture, transportation, and energy, presenting a multitude of tools and practices aimed at preserving and rejuvenating our natural world. As concerns about climate change and environmental degradation intensify, technology stands out as a powerful ally in the quest for a sustainable and resilient planet.George Mathew, Founder & CEO of Team Sustain, said, "Upgrading to clean energy techniques/solutions by leveraging in the latest technology products can be beneficial, as it directly impacts the bottom line of the business in terms of cost-saving, increased efficiency, and better outcomes in reducing the Environmental footprint. For businesses, it's become more imperative that they focus on the environmental impact of their operations as it will have a clear bearing on the sustainability of their business in the future. The world is changing, and consumers are becoming conscious of the choices they have, and its only business which cares and contributes positively to the environment will survive in the future".Electric Vehicles: A Greener Road AheadTransportation, a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, is undergoing a transformative shift with the rise of Electric Vehicles (EVs). Approximately 27 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions originate from the transportation sector, emphasizing the critical need for cleaner alternatives. EVs, powered by rechargeable batteries, offer a promising solution to mitigate these emissions. Companies like Romeo Power and Hyliion are at the forefront of advancing EV battery technology, enabling long-distance travel and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Hyzon Motors, ChargePoint, and Volta Charging drive advancements in sustainable commercial transportation and EV infrastructure. Hyzon excels in commercial hydrogen fuel cells, emitting only water vapor. Electric trucks and buses from Hyzon contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions. High-efficiency batteries enhance the range and performance of EVs. ChargePoint and Volta pioneer fast-charging infrastructure, optimizing commercial EV adoption. Smart charging networks, grid integration, and demand management by these companies ensure efficient energy use. Integration of renewable energy, such as solar-powered charging, ISC COLUMN
