पेट्रोल-डीजल की कीमतों में राहत या संकट? 7 अप्रैल 2025 को कच्चे तेल में गिरावट, लेकिन भारत में दाम स्थिर!

Petrol-Diesel Price 7 April: 7 अप्रैल 2025 को सुबह का सूरज उगा तो पेट्रोल-डीजल के दाम वही पुराने नंबरों पर टिके दिखे। ऑयल मार्केटिंग कंपनियों ने सुबह 6 बजे की अपनी रोजाना की रस्म निभाई और देशभर में ईंधन के रेट जारी किए। लेकिन इस बार खास बात यह रही कि कच्चे तेल की कीमतों में भारी गिरावट के बावजूद भारत में पेट्रोल-डीजल की कीमतों में एक पैसे का भी फर्क नहीं पड़ा। ट्रंप के टैरिफ का असर वैश्विक तेल…

Scientists have developed a new solar-powered system to convert saltwater into fresh drinking water which they say could help reduce dangerous the risk of waterborne diseases like cholera.

Via tests in rural communities, they showed that the process is more than 20% cheaper than traditional methods and can be deployed in rural locations around the globe.

Building on existing processes that convert saline groundwater to freshwater, the researchers from King’s College London, in collaboration with MIT and the Helmholtz Institute for Renewable Energy Systems, created a new system that produced consistent levels of water using solar power, and reported it in a paper published recently in Nature Water.

It works through a process called electrodialysis which separates the salt using a set of specialized membranes that channel salt ions into a stream of brine, leaving the water fresh and drinkable. By flexibly adjusting the voltage and the rate at which salt water flowed through the system, the researchers developed a system that adjusts to variable sunshine while not compromising on the amount of fresh drinking water produced.

Using data first gathered in the village of Chelleru near Hyderabad in India, and then recreating these conditions of the village in New Mexico, the team successfully converted up to 10 cubic meters, or several bathtubs worth of fresh drinking water. This was enough for 3,000 people a day with the process continuing to run regardless of variable solar power caused by cloud coverage and rain.

[Note: Not sure what metric they're using to calculate daily water needs here. Presumably this is drinking water only.]

Dr. Wei He from the Department of Engineering at King’s College London believes the new technology could bring massive benefits to rural communities, not only increasing the supply of drinking water but also bringing health benefits.

“By offering a cheap, eco-friendly alternative that can be operated off the grid, our technology enables communities to tap into alternative water sources (such as deep aquifers or saline water) to address water scarcity and contamination in traditional water supplies,” said He.

“This technology can expand water sources available to communities beyond traditional ones and by providing water from uncontaminated saline sources, may help combat water scarcity or unexpected emergencies when conventional water supplies are disrupted, for example like the recent cholera outbreaks in Zambia.”

In the global rural population, 1.6 billion people face water scarcity, many of whom are reliant on stressed reserves of groundwater lying beneath the Earth’s surface.

However, worldwide 56% of groundwater is saline and unsuitable for consumption. This issue is particularly prevalent in India, where 60% of the land harbors undrinkable saline water. Consequently, there is a pressing need for efficient desalination methods to create fresh drinking water cheaply, and at scale.

Traditional desalination technology has relied either on costly batteries in off-grid systems or a grid system to supply the energy necessary to remove salt from the water. In developing countries’ rural areas, however, grid infrastructure can be unreliable and is largely reliant on fossil fuels...

“By removing the need for a grid system entirely and cutting reliance on battery tech by 92%, our system can provide reliable access to safe drinking water, entirely emission-free, onsite, and at a discount of roughly 22% to the people who need it compared to traditional methods,” He said.

The system also has the potential to be used outside of developing areas, particularly in agriculture where climate change is leading to unstable reserves of fresh water for irrigation.

The team plans to scale up the availability of the technology across India through collaboration with local partners. Beyond this, a team from MIT also plans to create a start-up to commercialize and fund the technology.

“While the US and UK have more stable, diversified grids than most countries, they still rely on fossil fuels. By removing fossil fuels from the equation for energy-hungry sectors like agriculture, we can help accelerate the transition to Net Zero,” He said.

Calling his announcement a “declaration of economic independence,” President Trump imposed sweeping retaliatory tariffs at a Rose Garden ceremony. He said he would establish a universal baseline tariff of 10 percent, and additional rates that apply to certain countries. Some of the rates he announced — 34 percent for China, 26 percent for India, 24 percent for Japan — were much higher than what some economists and policymakers had been expecting.

Uncertainty over Mr. Trump’s plans has unnerved investors, who fear that the new tariffs could accelerate inflation, slow consumer spending and stall the U.S. economy. The possibility of a global trade war has fueled stock market volatility in recent weeks.

The standard legend of India’s Green Revolution centers on two propositions. First, India faced a food crisis, with farms mired in tradition and unable to feed an exploding population; and second, Borlaug’s wheat seeds led to record harvests from 1968 on, replacing import dependence with food self-sufficiency.

Recent research shows that both claims are false.

India was importing wheat in the 1960s because of policy decisions, not overpopulation. After the nation achieved independence in 1947, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru prioritized developing heavy industry. U.S. advisers encouraged this strategy and offered to provide India with surplus grain, which India accepted as cheap food for urban workers.

Meanwhile, the government urged Indian farmers to grow nonfood export crops to earn foreign currency. They switched millions of acres from rice to jute production, and by the mid-1960s India was exporting agricultural products.

Borlaug’s miracle seeds were not inherently more productive than many Indian wheat varieties. Rather, they just responded more effectively to high doses of chemical fertilizer. But while India had abundant manure from its cows, it produced almost no chemical fertilizer. It had to start spending heavily to import and subsidize fertilizer.

India did see a wheat boom after 1967, but there is evidence that this expensive new input-intensive approach was not the main cause. Rather, the Indian government established a new policy of paying higher prices for wheat. Unsurprisingly, Indian farmers planted more wheat and less of other crops.

Once India’s 1965-67 drought ended and the Green Revolution began, wheat production sped up, while production trends in other crops like rice, maize and pulses slowed down. Net food grain production, which was much more crucial than wheat production alone, actually resumed at the same growth rate as before.

But grain production became more erratic, forcing India to resume importing food by the mid-1970s. India also became dramatically more dependent on chemical fertilizer.

According to data from Indian economic and agricultural organizations, on the eve of the Green Revolution in 1965, Indian farmers needed 17 pounds (8 kilograms) of fertilizer to grow an average ton of food. By 1980, it took 96 pounds (44 kilograms). So, India replaced imports of wheat, which were virtually free food aid, with imports of fossil fuel-based fertilizer, paid for with precious international currency.

Today, India remains the world’s second-highest fertilizer importer, spending US$17.3 billion in 2022. Perversely, Green Revolution boosters call this extreme and expensive dependence “self-sufficiency.”

Revolutionaries : The Other Story of How India Won Its Freedom

In this book, the economist Sanjeev Sanyal explores the often-overlooked armed insurgencies led by Indian freedom fighters against British rule. Through the stories of these freedom fighters' struggles and sacrifices, Sanyal argues that their resistance was crucial in shaping India’s path to independence.

Revolutionaries: The Other Story of How India Won Its Freedom is a popular history book about the sacrifice of the Indian people during the Indian Revolution. The author, Sanjeev Sanyal, is currently a member of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Economic Advisory Council while previously having worked at Deutsche Bank. The book aims to discuss the often ignored and mostly forgotten armed insurrections against the British Raj that took place alongside the much more celebrated non-violence movement. It recounts the triumphs and tribulations of revered martyrs like Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad and the equally deserving, though lesser-known, freedom fighters like Rash Behari Bose and Sachindra Nath Sanyal. However, it is important to keep in mind that the author is not a trained historian but a politician.

This book attempts to change the perception of how the uprising against British rule was a scattered series of events fueled by misguided heroism, doomed to fail in their ultimate goals from the start. It was the doings of a well-planned network of revolutionary cells that stretched not just across the country, but across the world. Delving into the writings of figures like Aurobindo Ghosh and Sachindra Nath Sanyal, this book reveals a different perspective on their actions and goals. Rather than the "extremists" and "terrorists" portrayed by the British and their Indian loyalists, these works showcase mature and rational individuals driven by a deep love for their nation.

In the end, this book turns into a tragedy when readers are shown how only a handful of these revolutionaries lived to see an independent India (as opposed to the majority of the Gandhian faction). It was heartbreaking to see the plight of these revolutionaries and their families in newly independent India - neglected by the very nation they helped liberate. The soldiers of the Indian National Army (INA) or the naval ratings who took part in the naval mutiny of 1946 were not reinstated into independent India’s armed forces. In Pakistan, Jinnah allowed Muslim generals of the INA to join the army that fought wars with India, over Kashmir in 1947-1948. In a bitter twist of irony, the only battles the veterans of the Azad Hind Fauj (INA's Hindi name - literally "Free India Army") fought in after independence, were against an Azad Hind (Free India).

Like all of Sanjeev Sanyal’s books, Revolutionaries uses engaging language and prose, allowing readers to become acquainted with the general picture of Indian history if they are not familiar with this topic. Sanyal has also traveled to many of the places discussed in this book. From the site of the little curry restaurant Rash Behari Bose opened in Japan to the winding Calcutta gullies that witnessed Subhas Chandra Bose's daring escape to Germany, readers get a rich sense of place alongside the historical narrative.

In many of Sanyal's writings about Indian history, he has been attempting to write a revisionist history of India that has received mixed reviews because of its skewed narrative and obvious preference toward one side. His other books include The Ocean of Churn: How the Indian Ocean Shaped Human History (2016) and Land of the Seven Rivers: A Brief History of India's Geography (2012)

Theatrical animated movies or movies utilizing classic-style Disney character animation and artwork, movies not made at Disney Animation or Pixar... CONTINUED!

In the last part, we left off at the 2006 release of THE WILD. That strange film marked the end of a very brief attempt by Disney to soldier on with CGI movies should they have lost Pixar, as Disney Animation was going to make around one computer-animated film for release every calendar year. THE WILD, along with the English movie VALIANT, were the only two pictures to come out of this plan. Disney eventually ousted CEO Michael Eisner, successor Bob Iger sought to repair the broken bridge with Pixar... So, those kinds of CGI movies were out...

By fall 2006, Miramax gives the French-Luxembourgian/UK co-production PARIS 2054: RENAISSANCE a limited theatrical release here in the states, shortening the title to just RENAISSANCE. This would be the last Miramax release of an animated movie under Disney.

Before I go on, I'll make a special mention of some Disneytoon movies getting international-only theatrical releases. Such as BAMBI II, which was straight to video here in the states. Those, and a Chinese hybrid picture that Disney worked on but didn't theatrically release here, 2007's THE SECRET OF THE MAGIC GOURD.

Otherwise, we'll be focusing on domestic releases...

Disney still invested in other kinds of animated features, even with Pixar now a part of the company...

At the beginning of 2007, Disney strikes a deal with Robert Zemeckis and his ImageMovers studio, to create performance-capture CGI movies not dissimilar to his THE POLAR EXPRESS that came out in 2004, and also BEOWULF, which was opening later that year. Around the same time as our next subject... a live-action picture utilizing plenty of animation and animated Disney-style characters. I'm sure you've heard of it, ENCHANTED? The animation was done by former Disney animator James Baxter at his own studio in Pasadena, and the film was directed by A GOOFY MOVIE and TARZAN director Kevin Lima. Still, it did not involve Walt Disney Animation Studios.

In 2008, Disney handled the North American distribution of an animated Bollywood musical called ROADSIDE ROMEO, even going as far as handling distribution in India and the UK. Lasting only a few weeks in around 29 theaters, it made around half of $100k domestically... I'd imagine even the most minutiae-seeking of Disney enthusiasts have forgotten about it.

2009... We get a new Ghibli dub release from Disney, the then-recent Hayao Miyazaki endeavor PONYO... And we also saw the first of the Disney-ImageMovers collaborations, A CHRISTMAS CAROL. An all mocap retelling, with Jim Carrey as Scrooge. The costly endeavor didn't really make its money back, but apparently Disney were pleased with it enough to give the go-head to the next ImageMovers mocap movie. It wasn't the CALLING ALL ROBOTS project planned in 2008, but instead an adaptation of Berkeley Breathed's MARS NEEDS MOMS.

2010 brings another Ghibli title to theaters, Goro Miyazaki's TALES FROM EARTHSEA (an already four-year old film at this point). Briefly. This same year, Disney sells Miramax, including the distribution rights to the majority of the movies they released... But they kept an animated feature that was originally meant to be released by them: An Elton John pet project called GNOMEO & JULIET. Optioned by former Disney film chairman Dick Cook in around 2006, this production - initiated by John's Rocket Pictures - was largely handled by Starz Animation.

Disney decided to take this G-rated musical that they had little use for, and release it - unusually - as a Touchstone movie in February 2011. Touchstone by this point was still running, being fueled by a deal the studio had struck with DreamWorks SKG (the live-action studio, of course), but we were entering the twilight years of that label. GNOMEO & JULIET, surprisingly, did quite well. A lower-budget endeavor that managed to do better than the Disney Animation release that year - the thrown-out WINNIE THE POOH. Despite the film's success, Disney didn't keep it. The sequel, SHERLOCK GNOMES, would be released by Paramount 7 years later.

One month after SHERLOCK GNOMES, MARS NEEDS MOMS opens, and becomes an infamous box office bomb and critical disaster. ImageMovers and Disney's little picture deal is done-zo, one of the films that was part of the deal was a mocap remake of YELLOW SUBMARINE that got quite far. It would've released in the summer of 2012 had MARS NEEDS MOMS not self-destructed.

Ghibli comes to North American theaters again in February 2012, Disney gives their 2010 Hayao Miyazaki-written film THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY a release. Later in the year, a stop-motion film from Tim Burton - through his simply-named Tim Burton Productions, as we're a loooong way from Skellington Productions - opens: FRANKENWEENIE, in October. It doesn't make its money back theatrically, but the black-and-white melange of sci-fi and horror staples does get nominated at the Oscars for Best Animated Feature - losing to Pixar's BRAVE, so a win for Disney either way.

This same year, Disney gives a very limited run to an Indian animated film called ARJUN: THE WARRIOR PRINCE. Much like the MAGIC GOURD movie, they had some role in the film's production. The run for the sake of it being eligible for Oscar nomination, otherwise, this one really slipped through the cracks, and apparently almost got a sequel.

Curiously, upon Disney's historic acquisition of Lucasfilm in October 2012, there was a picture that they had to release. Lucasfilm's animation studio had been working on a fantasy musical for quite some time, and that was to be the first Lucasfilm picture to be distributed by Disney... NOT a STAR WARS movie! But for a while, no one seemed to really know what it was, other than the fact that sound designer/Pixar veteran Gary Rydstrom was directing it.

In an unexpected move, Disney ups a Disneytoon picture to theatrical status, even though we're firmly into the era of John Lasseter-Ed Catmull, where those former Pixar heads ran Disney Animation and Disneytoon Studio. Lasseter had put the kibosh on the 2D sequels to the classic Disney animated films, but TINKER BELL managed to get made and spawn some sequels (these played theatrically in various international territories). Then, the studio starts making spin-off films based on Pixar's CARS films... PLANES, originally intended as a direct-to-video film, is rerouted to a theatrical release which occurs in August 2013. The movie does pretty well, financially, as the sequel is all locked and ready to go for summer 2014.

Towards the end of 2013, Disney held limited engagements for Hayao Miyazaki's THE WIND RISES, so it could get nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar... And it did, but it lost to Disney Animation's FROZEN. The release of THE WIND RISES was under the Touchstone banner, and it went into wider release in February 2014. This marks the end of Disney's theatrical releasing of Studio Ghibli movies, that all eventually migrates to GKIDS.

In July 2014, PLANES: FIRE AND RESCUE makes some money, but not enough for Disney bean counters to be pleased. The plans for future movies seem to be on hold.

Starting off 2015 was the mystery Lucasfilm Animation project... STRANGE MAGIC... Which Disney unveils out of nowhere and showing a real lack confidence, releasing the film at the end of January with incomprehensible marketing. The movie unsurprisingly bombed.

December 2017... Disney begins their acquisition of 21st Century Fox film and TV assets... Meaning... Owning 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures, and... Well... Any and all animated movies owned by Fox or being made by Fox... Their flagship animation studio: Blue Sky Studios. ICE AGE, RIO, FERDINAND, ya know? The acquisition won't complete for a little while, though, but it's set in stone... Whatever Blue Sky is working on, whatever's cooking elsewhere at Fox should it all survive, it's being released by Disney.

(Disney cancelled a ton of animated movies Fox was developing by the end of 2017, an arm's long list. Wes Ball's MOUSE GUARD movie among them.)

Everything from June 2015 to November 2018 was only from either Disney Animation or Pixar, except ONE movie... The remake of THE JUNGLE BOOK from spring 2016, which is an almost entirely-CG movie (albeit, photorealistic) save for the real-life actor portraying Mowgli. The movie made nearly a billion worldwide, but has yet to spawn a sequel. Director Jon Favreau decided to use similar technology for a LION KING remake.

Disneytoon had teased a new CARS spin-off at the 2017 D23 Expo involving spacecraft titled BEYOND THE SKY, and they had many more in the works... But upon John Lasseter's much-publicized exit from the company over sexual harassment, Disneytoon Studios was shut down in June 2018. The CARS spacecraft movie, which was aimed for a spring 2019 release, got knocked into a black hole.

At the end of 2018 comes a MARY POPPINS sequel, MARY POPPINS RETURNS. The film utilizes a significant amount of 2D animation done at the Duncan Studio.

July 2019 is when Favreau's photorealistic LION KING remake opens, which sparks considerable debate on what it should be considered. Either way, the film becomes the highest-grossing animated movie of all time, a record it would hold for almost five years.

The acquisition of Fox is complete by this time, Disney theatrically releases the Blue Sky film SPIES IN DISGUISE - which had been delayed a few times and reworked - in Christmas of 2019... To not-great box office, but they intend to keep Blue Sky around, as their next movie NIMONA is in the works.

Because of COVID-19's outbreak at the beginning of 2020, Pixar's ONWARD was the only film Disney released theatrically that year. Many other WDAS, Pixar, and Fox/Blue Sky movies see numerous delays, or go straight to Disney+ instead. SOUL, intended for a summer 2020 theatrical debut, ended up debuting on the then-new service by Christmas.

In February 2021, Disney shut down Blue Sky Studios, shocking the animation industry. Their future pictures are all cancelled, save for the in-production NIMONA, a picture they offload to someone else. That someone else eventually being Annapurna Pictures, who finish the movie and allow the filmmakers to make it the movie they fought to make when it was under the Disney name. (Read: An explicitly queer film, based on an equally queer graphic novel created by a trans man.) Their NIMONA is released by Netflix in June 2023 and gets nominated for Best Animated Feature. A real case of "the one that got away". (More like, threw out. Didn't know what they had.)

With vaccines slowly rolling out and the worst months in the rearview mirror, Disney tries some unlikely theatrical rollouts of their animated films. The 20th Century Studios movies, contractually, have to be theatrically released, so they'll keep getting delays instead of Disney+/Hulu-only releases. While the mainline titles either go straight to Disney+ (LUCA, TURNING RED), or have some sort of hybrid release (RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON).

This results in the muted October 2021 release of RON'S GONE WRONG, a picture made by Locksmith Animation, and the only film from them that Fox/20th Century Studios had the distribution rights to. All the other pictures went elsewhere, their second film THAT CHRISTMAS went to Netflix after a brief run through Warner Bros., their following movies BAD FAIRIES and THE LUNAR CHRONICLES are currently set to be Warner releases. (We'll see how that goes!)

THE BOB'S BURGERS MOVIE is released theatrically by Disney in May 2022, their first distributing of an animated movie based on a Fox show. Surprisingly that, and not a SIMPSONS MOVIE sequel nor a FAMILY GUY movie. The film was in the works before the acquisition, and was aiming for a spring 2020 debut before Disney pulled it from the schedule, briefly causing concern on whether it was still happening or not. COVID then cut into the production, and resulted in more delays, the movie ended up not doing great at the box office anyways.

2023 goes by without a non-WDAS/non-Pixar animated movie release from Disney. 2024 gives us the prequel/sequel to the photoreal LION KING remake, MUFASA. The movie is a leggy sleeper hit.

So, on the horizon... Outside of the WDAS and Pixar films...

Now that Disneytoon has long been gone, and that 20th Century and Searchlight have long been under the Disney roof...

Well, there's only one non-WDAS/Pixar animated movie coming from the Mouse House... And that's ICE AGE 6, the first theatrical film in the series not being made by Blue Sky. Currently penciled in for December of next year, it's likely moving because SHREK 5 now landed on that date. Whenever it may come out, it's in production, it's a thing, the cast is back...

Oh wait, there's something else... Disney's handling the North American theatrical release of the BLUEY movie, which makes sense given the stake they have in that Australian preschooler cartoon and how much of a monster it is on Disney+. That's releasing some time in 2027.

So... Two franchise movies, unsurprisingly. ICE AGE 6 and the BLUEY movie.

I don't think 20th Century or Searchlight are really going to do any non-sequel/TV-based animation for theaters, though we could be surprised one day. It'd be interesting if they did, and how 20th Century will position theirs as alternatives to the Disney-branded ones. They didn't really put much muscle into SPIES IN DISGUISE and kinda just buried it, and it'd be a different story if the films in question are for adults (which would possibly be a goldmine for Disney/20th Century if they bothered to tap into that).

For now, I think 20th Century Studios' animation future will only be in ICE AGE movies (the parts that they mined Blue Sky for, before shuttering) and TV show-based pictures. SIMPSONS MOVIE 2 and a FAMILY GUY movie are things I see happening eventually, so, those will fit the ticket. 20th Century has opted to release Dan Trachtenberg's animated PREDATOR anthology KILLER OF KILLERS to Hulu only, while his live-action PREDATOR film BADLANDS opens theatrically later this year. That sits in a similar boat as those animated DIARY OF A WIMPY KID movies and NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: KAMUNRAH RISES AGAIN, which were - in live-action form - Fox movie franchises, but were Disney-branded in animation.

Sooo... Yeah... Even though Disney owns a crap-ton of studios... Their theatrical animation output will seemingly be limited to Disney Animation and Pixar 95% of the time, with an occasional ICE AGE 6 or BLUEY movie. No plans, as of now it seems, for Marvel Studios animated movies or even any STAR WARS animated features. Lucasfilm making a new, not-STAR WARS animated movie? Nah, they won't even do a live-action one at that. Where that all goes, I do not know... But it's a night and day difference from the animated output of theirs in the '90s and '00s.

TOKYO, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Japan launched its lunar exploration spacecraft on Thursday aboard a homegrown H-IIA rocket, hoping to become the world's fifth country to land on the moon early next year.

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) said the rocket took off from Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan as planned and successfully released the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM).

Unfavourable weather led to three postponements in a week last month.

Dubbed the "moon sniper," Japan aims to land SLIM within 100 metres of its target site on the lunar surface.

The $100-million mission is expected to start the landing by February after a long, fuel-efficient approach trajectory.

"The big objective of SLIM is to prove the high-accuracy landing ... to achieve 'landing where we want' on the lunar surface, rather than 'landing where we can'," JAXA President Hiroshi Yamakawa told a news conference.

The launch comes two weeks after India became the fourth nation to successfully land a spacecraft on the moon with its Chandrayaan-3 mission to the unexplored lunar south pole.

Around the same time, Russia's Luna-25 lander crashed while approaching the moon.

Two earlier lunar landing attempts by Japan failed in the last year.

JAXA lost contact with the OMOTENASHI lander and scrubbed an attempted landing in November.

The Hakuto-R Mission 1 lander, made by Japanese startup ispace (9348.T), crashed in April as it attempted to descend to the lunar surface.

SLIM is set to touch down on the near side of the moon close to Mare Nectaris, a lunar sea that, viewed from Earth, appears as a dark spot.

Its primary goal is to test advanced optical and image processing technology.

After landing, the craft aims to analyse the composition of olivine rocks near the sites in search of clues about the origin of the moon. No lunar rover is loaded on SLIM.

Thursday's H-IIA rocket also carried the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) satellite, a joint project of JAXA, NASA and the European Space Agency.

The satellite aims to observe plasma winds flowing through the universe that scientists see as key to helping understand the evolution of stars and galaxies.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (7011.T) manufactured the rocket and operated the launch, which marked the 47th H-IIA rocket Japan has launched since 2001, bringing the vehicle's success rate close to 98%.

JAXA had suspended the launch of H-IIA carrying SLIM for several months while it investigated the failure of its new medium-lift H3 rocket during its debut in March.

Japan's space missions have faced other recent setbacks, with the launch failure of the Epsilon small rocket in October 2022, followed by an engine explosion during a test in July.

The country aims to send an astronaut to the moon's surface in the latter half of the 2020s as part of NASA's Artemis programme.

In the global rural population, 1.6 billion people face water scarcity, many of whom are reliant on stressed reserves of groundwater lying beneath the Earth’s surface.

However, worldwide 56% of groundwater is saline and unsuitable for consumption. This issue is particularly prevalent in India, where 60% of the land harbors undrinkable saline water. Consequently, there is a pressing need for efficient desalination methods to create fresh drinking water cheaply, and at scale.

Traditional desalination technology has relied either on costly batteries in off-grid systems or a grid system to supply the energy necessary to remove salt from the water. In developing countries’ rural areas, however, grid infrastructure can be unreliable and is largely reliant on fossil fuels.

Creating a low-cost ‘battery-like’ desalination technology removes the reliance on battery technology for using intermittent solar energy in off-grid applications, enabling affordability to rural communities in developing countries like India.

“By removing the need for a grid system entirely and cutting reliance on battery tech by 92%, our system can provide reliable access to safe drinking water, entirely emission-free, onsite, and at a discount of roughly 22% to the people who need it compared to traditional methods,” He said.

The system also has the potential to be used outside of developing areas, particularly in agriculture where climate change is leading to unstable reserves of fresh water for irrigation.

The team plans to scale up the availability of the technology across India through collaboration with local partners. Beyond this, a team from MIT also plans to create a start-up to commercialize and fund the technology.

“While the US and UK have more stable, diversified grids than most countries, they still rely on fossil fuels. By removing fossil fuels from the equation for energy-hungry sectors like agriculture, we can help accelerate the transition to Net Zero,” He said.

“The next step for us is to apply this low-cost technology to other sectors, including wastewater treatment, and producing alkaline to make the ocean more alkaline to help it absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere. By taking this approach not only can we decarbonize agriculture, but wider environmental and climate benefits as well.”

"India’s announcement that it aims to reach net zero emissions by 2070 and to meet fifty percent of its electricity requirements from renewable energy sources by 2030 is a hugely significant moment for the global fight against climate change. India is pioneering a new model of economic development that could avoid the carbon-intensive approaches that many countries have pursued in the past – and provide a blueprint for other developing economies.

The scale of transformation in India is stunning. Its economic growth has been among the highest in the world over the past two decades, lifting of millions of people out of poverty. Every year, India adds a city the size of London to its urban population, involving vast construction of new buildings, factories and transportation networks. Coal and oil have so far served as bedrocks of India’s industrial growth and modernisation, giving a rising number of Indian people access to modern energy services. This includes adding new electricity connections for 50 million citizens each year over the past decade. 

The rapid growth in fossil energy consumption has also meant India’s annual CO2 emissions have risen to become the third highest in the world. However, India’s CO2 emissions per person put it near the bottom of the world’s emitters, and they are lower still if you consider historical emissions per person. The same is true of energy consumption: the average household in India consumes a tenth as much electricity as the average household in the United States.  

India’s sheer size and its huge scope for growth means that its energy demand is set to grow by more than that of any other country in the coming decades. In a pathway to net zero emissions by 2070, we estimate that most of the growth in energy demand this decade would already have to be met with low-carbon energy sources. It therefore makes sense that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced more ambitious targets for 2030, including installing 500 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity, reducing the emissions intensity of its economy by 45%, and reducing a billion tonnes of CO2. 

These targets are formidable, but the good news is that the clean energy transition in India is already well underway. It has overachieved its commitment made at COP 21- Paris Summit [a.k.a. 2015, at the same conference that produced the Paris Agreement] by already meeting 40% of its power capacity from non-fossil fuels- almost nine years ahead of its commitment, and the share of solar and wind in India’s energy mix have grown phenomenally. Owing to technological developments, steady policy support, and a vibrant private sector, solar power plants are cheaper to build than coal ones. Renewable electricity is growing at a faster rate in India than any other major economy, with new capacity additions on track to double by 2026...

Subsidies for petrol and diesel were removed in the early 2010s, and subsidies for electric vehicles were introduced in 2019. India’s robust energy efficiency programme has been successful in reducing energy use and emissions from buildings, transport and major industries. Government efforts to provide millions of households with fuel gas for cooking and heating are enabling a steady transition away from the use of traditional biomass such as burning wood. India is also laying the groundwork to scale up important emerging technologies such as hydrogen, battery storage, and low-carbon steel, cement and fertilisers..."
