For BP, car chargers to overtake pumps in profitability race

Posted by in categories: business, sustainability, transportation

LONDON, Jan 14 (Reuters) — BP says its fast electric vehicle chargers are on the cusp of becoming more profitable than filling up a petrol car.

The milestone will mark a significant moment for BP which wants to shift away from oil and expand operations in power markets and around electric vehicles (EV).

EV charging has for years been a loss-making business as a whole for BP and rivals as they invest heavily in its expansion. The division is not expected to turn profitable before 2025 but on a margin basis, BP’s fast battery charging points, which can replenish a battery within minutes, are nearing levels they see from filling up with petrol.

Energy Efficient, Transparent Solar Windows: You Really Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet

Posted by in categories: business, solar power, sustainability

Building integrated solar provides businesses with new bottom line opportunities to leverage their properties to attract a new generation of sustainability-focused consumers, and that leaves little space for fossil energy to maneuver.


More than 20 billion square feet of windows are installed every year, and the leading firm Andersen Corporation apparently plans to make some of those billions into energy efficient, transparent solar energy generators that could kick the pace of global energy decarbonization into high gear. The well-known maker of windows and doors just chipped in for a $30 million Series B funding round that will help push the not-so-well-known transparent solar innovator Ubiquitous Energy out of the startup shadows and into the bright sunshine of the global building industries marketplace.

How This Electricity-Free Fridge Saved An Indian Ceramics Factory | Big Business

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, business, finance, food

In 2001, the founder of Mitticool ceramics learned many of his customers in India don’t have regular access to electricity. So he invented a fridge made out of clay. It keeps food 8 degrees cooler than the outside air, but it doesn’t need any electricity to run. And while other ceramics companies in the region shut down, Mitticool is thriving thanks to the success of the powerless, eco-friendly fridge.

Posted by in categories: business, government, space

India is one of only a handful of nations that have sent probes to the moon and Mars. But the most impressive part of its space program is its cost-effectiveness. Unlike other government space organizations, India’s agency is extremely efficient, with the lowest cost-per-kilogram in the industry. Now India is throwing open its doors to private companies and raising its stellar ambitions.

Can Humans Teach Robots To Think Like Us?

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI

Although robots are more than capable today of carrying out all kinds of business tasks efficiently and accurately, the concept of building machines that can think like humans has always been a dream for tech companies and smart city developers. However, the actual way in which the human mind works and processes information is up for debate, with several parties having conflicting opinions regarding the same. Once enough data is generated, simulation models can be created to build software that can think along the same rational or emotional lines as humans. Human thinking is generally influenced by a variety of factors—cognitive, behavioral, geometric, kinematic and physical. Using cognitive modeling, such factors can be considered while attempting to create robots that think and behave like humans.

The concept of human thinking is still too vague to be accurately replicated in robots. Even then, multiple types of approaches could be taken to reach the ideal end result—enabling AI and robotic tools to think like humans.
