Adani Green Energy Gallery At London's Science Museum Sees 7 Lakh Visitors In First Year

The 'Energy Revolution: The Adani Green Energy Gallery' at the Science Museum in London, sponsored by Adani Green Energy Ltd., saw 7 lakh visitors explore low-carbon technologies in its first year, the firm said on Wednesday.

The gallery, curated by the Science Museum, was inaugurated on March 26, 2024, by Gautam Adani, chairman of Adani Green Energy. Entry to the gallery is free, and it explores how renewable energy can help address climate change.

The exhibition highlights how the world can generate and use energy more sustainably to urgently decarbonise to limit climate change. Over the past year, the gallery has hosted more than 40 curator-led tours for various organisations, including the Climate Change Committee, the Met Office, and several UK government departments.

The gallery won the 2024 Brick Awards in the innovation category for its low-carbon brick bench exhibit. The bench features the world's first 100% hydrogen-fired brick. The exhibition demonstrates that low-carbon brick manufacturing can achieve between 81-84% less carbon emissions from three firings compared to natural gas.

The gallery also recently updated a unique decarbonisation tracker exhibit that shows the carbon intensity of Britain's electricity supply by tracking how many grams of carbon dioxide were released into the atmosphere for every unit of electricity supplied in each of the years shown.

The exhibit reflects that, in 2024, the UK witnessed a record low of CO2 emissions released for each kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity supplied. The new exhibit at the gallery will be tracking the UK's CO2 emissions until 2035, the statement said.

"The gallery is devoted to climate science, examining how the world can rapidly transition to cleaner energy sources to limit climate change," it said.

"As one of the world's largest renewable energy companies with an operational portfolio of over 13 gigawatts across wind, solar and hybrid renewable energy, AGEL is dedicated to moving the needle on net zero," it elaborated.

Designed by award-winning architects, Unknown Works, a key element of the gallery's sustainable design was the reuse of redundant shelves from the Science Museum's former object store. The gallery's carbon footprint has been monitored, and recyclable aluminium was used where possible.
