[May Thematic Report] <Eco-friendly Urban Technology>

by Vani Miglani | 30-05-2023 16:01 recommendations 0

In the bustling cities of India, where pollution fills the air and environmental concerns loom large, a remarkable solution has emerged to combat this pressing issue. A pioneering startup in India has developed an innovative technology known as the Chakr Shield. This ground-breaking device specifically targets the harmful emissions produced by diesel generators, offering a promising solution for cleaner and healthier urban environments.


Diesel generators play a crucial role in providing electricity in areas with unreliable grid connections. However, their emissions pose a significant threat to air quality, leading to serious health issues and environmental degradation. Chakr Shield is an innovative technology an that aims to solve this problem by effectively capturing and treating particulate matter emissions from diesel generators.


It serves as a retrofit emission control device that is capable of significantly reducing harmful pollutants released into the atmosphere. What sets it apart is its ability to convert the captured particulate matter emissions into a valuable resource. Through a unique process, the Chakr Shield transforms these harmful pollutants into a high-quality ink, which finds applications in printing and manufacturing. This innovative approach not only mitigates the impact of emissions but also fosters a circular economy by repurposing waste into a useful product.


The environmental benefits of the technology are truly remarkable. By capturing and treating particulate matter emissions, it helps in reducing air pollution, a major concern in densely populated cities. According to estimates, the installation of Chakr Shields on diesel generators has the potential to remove several tons of particulate matter emissions, significantly improving urban air quality.  It contributes to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change and promote sustainable development.


Beyond environmental benefits, it also presents economic opportunities and social advantages. The conversion of particulate matter emissions into valuable ink creates a new revenue stream and job opportunities. Additionally, the reduction in air pollution leads to improved public health, potentially resulting in reduced healthcare costs and increased productivity.


What makes this cutting-edge urban technology even more remarkable is its distinction as the first retrofit emission control device in India to receive the type approval certification from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). This recognition underscores the credibility and efficacy of the Chakr Shield in addressing air pollution concerns and promoting a cleaner and greener future.


Chakr Shield stands as a shining example of indigenous innovation and sustainable technology from India. This  remarkable device that continues to gain recognition and wider adoption holds the potential to transform the way we address environmental challenges.

    Hello again Vani!! This is your mentor James.

    I see that this "Chakr Shield" is able to capture harmful pollutants emitted by diesel combustion generators! Combustion of diesel not only emits greenhouse gases, but also it is actually the main source of fine particulate matter emission! Converting these harmful species into industrial ink products is quite ground-breaking as well!

    Thanks for writing such a meaningful report! Great work.
