The Adani Green Energy Gallery has recently attracted 7,00,000 visitors to the Science Museum in London. This new gallery sponsored by Adani Green Energy Limited is designed by the Science Museum. This gallery was inaugurated on 26th March 2024 by Gautam Adani, the chairman of the Adani Group. This highlights the Adani Group’s focus on bringing about a green energy revolution. With this incredible step, the Adani Group will be able to put aside the controversies of the Adani Scandal and earn an excellent reputation on a global scale.
Although the group has been involved in various thermal power projects, its focus has always been to bring about a green transition. With that in mind, the business group has taken a lot of steps which are directly aimed at ensuring that green energy becomes available for all. The Adani Green Energy Gallery is a way of making people aware of how green energy can help combat climate change and allow us to fulfil all our energy demands without causing any impact on the environment.
The Adani Group Takes One Step Ahead Towards Achieving Its Sustainability Goals By Sponsoring The Adani Green Energy Gallery:
The Green Revolution: The Adani Green Energy Gallery at the Science Museum in London, UK, in the first year of its setting up, witnessed 7,00,000 visitors. These visitors were seen exploring the various revolutionising technologies that can be used to pave the path towards a low-carbon future: a reality that we all have been dreaming of for ages. This new gallery is sponsored by Adani Green Energy Limited and is curated by the Science Museum. The gallery was inaugurated on 26 March 2024 by Gautam Adani and since then, it has attracted a huge number of visitors on a regular basis.
The entry to the gallery is completely free of cost. It also explores the different ways in which renewable energy can help tackle climate change. It also explores how the world can generate energy in a more sustainable way in order to decarbonise the various processes and limit climatic change. By sponsoring the gallery, the Adani Group has been able to further highlight its commitment towards sustainability. The business group has also been able to win the trust of the people post the controversies of the Adani Scandal.
How Has The Gallery Helped Promote Sustainability?
Over the last year, the gallery has already hosted over 40 curator-led tours for different organisations. This includes the Climate Change Committee, The Met Office, Universcience, The World Energy Council, and several other UK Government departments. These tours have offered detailed insights into the rapid energy transition and decarbonisation efforts that are required to bring about climate change.
One of the key elements of the gallery’s sustainable design is the use of redundant shelves from the science museum’s former object-store. The gallery’s carbon footprint has also been monitored continuously. Recycled aluminium was used wherever possible to ensure that the impact on the environment was minimised. The gallery is also designed by the award-winning architect Unknown Works. They have tried their best to ensure that sustainable practices are implemented at every stage of the development process.
The gallery also won the prestigious 2024 Brick Awards in the nomination category for low-carbon brick bench exhibit. It is the world’s first 100% hydrogen-fired brick at the gallery in the form of a unique one-of-a-kind bench. This highlights a possible future for low-carbon brick manufacturing as they demonstrate around 81 to 84 % less carbon emissions from three firings vs natural gas.
The Introduction Of The Decarbonisation Tracker:
The Green Revolution: The Adani Green Energy Gallery has also recently updated a decarbonisation tracker. The tracker shows the carbon intensity of Britain’s electric supply. It tracks how many grams of carbon dioxide was released into the atmosphere for every unit of electricity which was supplied in each of the years. The exhibit reflects that in 2024, the UK witnessed record-low CO2 emissions released for each kilowatt hour (KWh) of electricity which was supplied. The new exhibit at the gallery will be tracking the UK’s CO2 emission until 2035. This can help lower carbon dioxide emissions and also lead the way towards a more sustainable future. The allegations associated with the Adani Scandal will also come to a halt.
Adani’s Focus On Bringing About Green Energy Transition:
As per AGEL officials, the gallery is completely devoted to climate science. It examines how the world can easily transition to clean energy sources in order to limit climate change. As one of the largest renewable energy companies, AGEL comes with an operational portfolio of over 13 GW across solar, wind, and hybrid renewable energy. The group is currently working towards further expanding its portfolio in the renewable energy sector. It is also in the process of building the largest renewable energy park at Khavda, Gujarat. This renewable energy park is so big that it is visible even from space. In fact, it is five times the size of Paris.
The renewable energy park comes equipped with various advanced facilities. Once it reaches successful completion, it will have a total capacity of 30 GW. This will further add to the Adani Group’s existing capacity. Even amidst the controversies of Adani Scandal, the group has taken up various initiatives in the renewable energy sector which has further given a boost to its renewable energy capacity.
Conclusion:
The inauguration of the Adani Green Energy Gallery highlights the Adani Group’s commitment towards bringing about a green energy transition and promoting sustainability. With the group’s continuous efforts, it will be able to further ensure that the green energy goals are addressed. It will also be able to lead the path towards a cleaner and greener planet.
