India Energy Week: 3 Ways to Improve Energy Efficiency, Reliability and Asset Integrity
For fast-growing markets like India, where utilisation rates are high and new capacity is complex to deliver, improving thermal efficiency and asset performance offers a credible way to reduce fuel use, lower emissions and strengthen operational resilience at the same time.
5 Things to Know Before Buying Your First EV Scooter
For first-time buyers, the shift from petrol to electric is not always straightforward. Unlike conventional two-wheelers, EV scooters come with a different set of considerations, battery technology, charging options, digital features, and long-term ownership costs.
Manjunath N. Reddy, the dynamic Founder and Managing Director of DhaSh PV Technologies Limited, is a true visionary in India’s solar PV industry. A true pioneer, his unwavering dedication to sustainable energy solutions has propelled DhaSh to the forefront of the renewable energy sector and made DhaSh India’s largest integrated PV junction box manufacturer, employing over 1,000 dedicated professionals.
Re-NEW-ables Rising: Charging into a New Year
As we bid farewell to 2024, the anticipation for 2025 grows. Next year promises to build upon the strong foundation laid by the transformative investments, budgetary allocations, and policy decisions of 2024. With an unwavering focus on scaling renewable capacity, attracting international investments, and integrating cutting-edge technologies, 2025 is poised to bring India's green aspirations closer to reality. Major renewable energy players shared their plans and growth with Energetica India.
Solar-Powered Cars: Futuristic Dream or Unrealistic Ambition?
The only logical way to go forward to clean transportation is electric vehicles. Adopting EVs and powering them through energy produced by solar panels that is transmitted through the utility grid or a structure nearby.
Is India Truly Utilizing Solar Power as an Alternative Source of Energy
In the last two and a half decades, India has been actively engaged in activities connected to the research, development, demonstration, manufacture, and use of a wide range of renewable energy technologies for use in various industries. The easy access to solar energy has made it the most sought-after alternative for residential and industrial sectors.
Methods of Reversing the Crisis of Climate Change
Many startups and companies have come who deal with measuring the carbon footprints of individuals and organisations and help them to erase that and make the environment a better place to live. They are developing many digital tools to help people take action on climate change. They calculate the human footprint and eradicate the carbon footprint in order to effectively counteract climate change to achieve a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
What Should Be Done to Promote Net Metering across India?
Net metering not only offers multiple benefits to the premises owner but also shows one step forward towards making a difference in the environment. The continued support from state bodies and improved grid reliability is therefore utmost for the widespread adoption of industrial solar systems under net metering in India.
INDUSTRY JEWEL: Ripunjay Parikh, Director Sales – Power Distribution, Eaton India
Decentralizing power generation and seamlessly integrating this with the grid, reliably and affordably will be a revolutionary change in the power sector. With this, every building, factory, or establishment can be a potential power producer from a renewable source. Also, with this, the power can be distributed to remote locations without the need for extensive grids/networks.
EV Decade is Here and Batteries will be Pivotal in India’s EV Transition
It is a well-known fact that India doesn’t have much of minerals needed for battery cell manufacturing, be it Lithium, Cobalt or Nickel. So, India needs to rely on battery recycling and needs a large number of zero effluent recycling plants.
Is Current Model of Hydrogen Powered Economy Really Sustainable?
Green hydrogen reduces CO2 emissions. Currently, 96% of hydrogen is produced using fossil fuels. The conventional production method produces climate-damaging carbon dioxide that escapes into the atmosphere. In the power-to-gas method, however, water is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis. While further use is made of the hydrogen, the by-product oxygen can either be used for other applications or simply released into the environment.
Significance of Hydro Power in India’s Energy Mix
Solar and wind power provide clean energy but are intermittent as they are dependent on sun and wind availability. Thermal power and hydropower compensate for the intermittent nature of solar and wind, providing stability to the electric grid. Technical capabilities of hydropower, such as quick start-stop, black-start, spinning reserve, voltage and frequency regulation are more suited to stabilize a dynamic grid.
India’s road towards self-reliance energy storage, COP26, Net Zero and the need for Carbon Finance
With increasing renewable energy (especially solar and wind) deployment across the world, the need for battery storage systems is becoming critically important given the intermittent nature of renewables. With larger deployments and concomitantly lowered costs, battery storage technologies are becoming more technically and financially feasible. However, for this transition to continue, supply of storage systems needs to keep pace with the demand.
Liquefied Natural Gas - The Bridge to Green Profits
At a time when sustainability, carbon footprint and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) are becoming increasingly bigger differentiators of corporate performance, a switch to natural gas can future-proof a business and its income streams.
Why India Dreams of Becoming a Global Green Hydrogen Hub? Is it Possible?
The use of hydrogen requires a major shift in the existing energy infrastructure of the country or the region where hydrogen is proposed to be used. The major challenge then is finance, and for a developing country like ours, replacing existing infrastructure which has an available period of use, will not only become unfeasible financially, but also involve massive wastage of resources.
