Delhiites face persistent, year-round air quality challenges with no immediate timeline for consistently meeting national standards. While 2025 saw a record 79 days with "Good" or "Satisfactory" air, hazardous conditions continue in winter. Long-term efforts like the National Clean Air Programme target a 40% reduction in particulate matter by 2026, but reaching consistent compliance remains a long-term goal.

Delhiites face persistent, year-round air quality challenges with no immediate timeline for consistently meeting national standards. While 2025 saw a record 79 days with "Good" or "Satisfactory" air, hazardous conditions continue in winter. Long-term efforts like the National Clean Air Programme target a 40% reduction in particulate matter by 2026, but reaching consistent compliance remains a long-term goal.  Key Factors and Future Outlook: Current Status: - In 2025, Delhi recorded zero "good" air quality days, with the air quality often falling into poor, severe, or hazardous categories, especially in winter. Winter Crisis: - Air quality drastically worsens between October and February due to stubble burning, low wind speeds, and temperature inversion. Improvement Efforts: - Ongoing measures include stricter emission controls for industries, banning older vehicles, and deploying water sprinklers, though these have not yet brought permanent, year-round cle...

Earth purification involves restoring environmental health by removing contaminants from soil, water, and air to protect ecosystems and human health. Key methods include reducing, reusing, recycling, switching to clean energy, and utilizing natural or technical filters. It also refers to spiritual, symbolic cleansing or the industrial extraction/refining of rare-earth elements.

The boom in green ammonia production is slowing as, despite long-term sustainability goals, fading carbon incentives and high production costs—often $700–$1400 per tonne, far above traditional grey ammonia—make projects economically unviable. Fertiliser executives warn that the green transition cannot succeed with "red numbers," forcing a slowdown in investment as reliance on fossil-fuel-based ammonia persists.

The boom in green ammonia production is slowing as, despite long-term sustainability goals, fading carbon incentives and high production costs—often $700–$1400 per tonne, far above traditional grey ammonia—make projects economically unviable. Fertiliser executives warn that the green transition cannot succeed with "red numbers," forcing a slowdown in investment as reliance on fossil-fuel-based ammonia persists.  Key Factors in the Waning Green   Ammonia Boom: High "Green Premium":   Green ammonia costs significantly more than conventional ammonia, with premiums reaching around $126 per metric tonne (a 24.5% increase) as of early 2025. Declining Incentives:-  Reduced government subsidies and carbon price signals are weakening the economic incentive to adopt costlier, low-carbon alternatives. Production Costs: - While costs are projected to drop to $480 per tonne by 2030, current high renewable energy and electrolyser expenses keep green ammonia less competitive than ...
