“…28 The country's objective is to accomplish 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022, of which 100 GW will be solar energy, and rooftop or ground-based installations provide the majority of solar energy. 29 This goal has been further increased to 227 GW from 175 GW and declared that it would raise its renewable power objective to 450 GW by 2030. At present, 93.1 percent of India's grid-connected solar PV sector is made up of ground-based installations.…”

The 18,000 square kilometers of water reservoirs in India can generate 280 GW of solar power through floating solar photovoltaic plants. The cumulative installed capacity of FSPV is 0.0027 GW, and the country plans to add 10 GW of FSPV to the 227 GW renewable energy target of 2022. The FSPV addition is small related to the entire market for solar energy, but each contribution is appreciated in the renewable energy market. FSPV could be a viable alternative for speeding up solar power deployment in the country and meeting its NDC targets. So far, the country has achieved the world's lowest investment cost for a floating solar installation. Despite the lower costs, generalizations are still premature because FSPV is still in its initial stages of market entry. Continuous innovation and timely adoption of innovative ideas and technology will support India in meeting its solar energy goals and progressing toward a more sustainable future. Governments must establish clear and enforceable policies to assist developers in reducing risks and increasing investor confidence in the sector. Economic and financial feasibility are examined, and various difficulties in technology, design, finances, environment, maintenance, and occupational health that impact the FSPV deployment are discussed. Based on the research, effective and comprehensive FSPV policy suggestions are included to support establishing an appropriate market, fostering competition and innovation, and attracting large-scale investment. This paper aims to stimulate interest among various policy developers, energy suppliers, industrial designers, ergonomists, project developers, manufacturers, health and safety professionals, executing agencies, training entities, and investment institutions of the FSPV plant to implement effective governance planning and help them to participate in their ways to assure sustainable growth.

“…It was estimated that food waste may rise to 126 million tonnes by 2020 if improvements are not implemented ( Mirabella et al, 2014 ; Baig et al, 2019 ). India, which has a population of more than 1.4 billion, generates more than 0.5 kg of organic waste per person per day ( Paulraj et al, 2019 ). By separating high-value components such proteins, fibers, phytochemicals, flavor compounds, and polysaccharides, which can then be employed as functional ingredients and nutraceuticals, this prevention can be achieved ( Baiano, 2014 ).…”

Fruits are crucial components of a balanced diet and a good source of natural antioxidants, that have proven efficacy in various chronic illnesses. Various kinds of waste generated from fruit industries are considered a global concern. By utilizing this fruit waste, the international goal of “zero waste” can be achieved by sustainable utilization of these waste materials as a rich source of secondary metabolites. Moreover, to overcome this waste burden, research have focused on recovering the bioactive compounds from fruit industries and obtaining a new strategy to combat certain chronic diseases. The separation of high-value substances from fruit waste, including phytochemicals, dietary fibers, and polysaccharides which can then be used as functional ingredients for long-term health benefits. Several novel extraction technologies like ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) could provide an alternative approach for successful extraction of the valuable bioactives from the fruit waste for their utilization as nutraceuticals, therapeutics, and value-added products. Most of these waste-derived secondary metabolites comprise polyphenols, which have been reported to have anti-inflammatory, insulin resistance-treating, cardiovascular disease-maintaining, probiotics-enhancing, or even anti-microbial and anti-viral capabilities. This review summarizes the current knowledge of fruit waste by-products in pharmacological, biological, and probiotic applications and highlights several methods for identifying efficacious bioactive compounds from fruit wastes.

“…Incinerators are attacked mostly for the dangerous air they emit and the air pollution their ash causes. Anaerobic digestion [13], which is a component of bio-methanation, produces methane by employing bacteria in confined spaces to break down organic waste. The availability of high-quality organic waste is a requirement for bio-methanation.…”

A growing number of people throughout the world are interested in finding new raw materials that may be used to make energy pellets. Before these raw materials are taken into consideration for its use in energy pellet production, they undergo a number of analytical evaluations and quality tests. Utilizing various resources from food waste agriculture, forestry and even extra materials from agri-food production to make energy pellets has grown in popularity these days. The practicality of using raw materials for pellet manufacture such as pea trash, birch sawdust, chamomile waste, and soybean residue is explicitly examined in this study. This investigation's main goal is to produce thermal energy from these pellets while making sure they adhere to the necessary requirements
