Zero-to-Green

What is
Zero to Green?

The ‘Zero to Green’ initiative by IITM Research Park helps commercial buildings switch to renewable energy. The report clarifies that renewable energy is not as expensive as commonly thought. It explains the current situation, technology options, and a plan for reducing carbon emissions, showing that using renewable energy can cut electricity bills by up to 30% and provide a profitable return on investment within five years. This initiative encourages building owners to go green, save money and support environmental sustainability through evidence-based conversations.

The report was launched during EnVision 2023 – India’s First Energy Festival hosted by the IITM Research Park on January 3 and 4, 2024. Over 500+ delegates including energy experts, industry leaders, policymakers, academia, researchers, and students participated in the conference aimed at transitioning the nation towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.
