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.
Adoption of Alternate Fuels in Energy Intensive Industries
Bio-fuel is emerging as a new way for industries to incorporate a clean energy alternative in their energy mix. Moreover, the recent announcement by the Finance Minister to include 5% of biomass pellets in thermal power plants is a move in the right direction and an indication for other industries as well.
Green Hydrogen to Contribute Immensely towards Decarbonisation of the Refineries
There has been a greater amount of emphasis by both the Government of India and domestic companies to help the country in its mission towards a clean energy transition. To reduce the carbon footprint, an increasing number of companies across the globe are now exploring the green hydrogen option, which has been labelled as one of the cleanest forms of energy in the world.
BESS Energy Storage System for Low and Medium Voltage and the Need for Decarbonisation of the Grid
We are in a stage in which storage systems are increasingly being implemented to take over tasks that would not have been economically feasible a short time ago. Therefore, many investors are currently ready to invest in these applications and are looking for new areas in which storage systems can be prosperous business opportunity.
Role of Carbon Capture for Net Zero Environment
Green technologies made economical through innovation and with the support of government actions will accelerate their adoption by the consumer marketplace. This shift towards sustainable energy and products will need to coincide with initiatives to remove carbon from the atmosphere to balance the remaining emissions.
Roadmap for a Sustainable Electric Vehicle Battery Ecosystem in India
Developing a sustainable battery ecosystem is key to a resource-efficient transition. Not only does India need to ramp up its battery manufacturing capabilities, it also requires forward-looking strategies, such as the creation of a cross-connected battery supply chain, through the recycling of critical raw materials.
Unleashing Decarbonized Power with Hydrogen and Natural Gas
Globally, green hydrogen has been recognized as an essential component of a future low-carbon economy. Several countries have taken steady steps to propose and develop standalone hydrogen strategies. The challenge today, thus, is not in recognizing the potential of hydrogen but in enabling a clear roadmap that accelerates both the supply of green hydrogen and its market demand. India’s recent policy has taken a leap in this direction.
Why Solar Module Prices Are Rising in India
MNRE has confirmed that India has a solar cell manufacturing capacity of 3GW per year. But India does not have any capacity of manufacturing polysilicon, wafers, or ingots. All these come from China. The demand and supply gap is putting a lot of pressure on commissioned solar projects.
As the use of biomass for cooking declines, there emerges the potential of using it in modern ways as a source of renewable energy. Biomass accounted for about 12% of total energy consumption in India in 2019. Converting biomass into commercial energy with modern technology should, therefore, become the focus of public policy. The goal should be to get usable commercial energy from the bio-waste generated in the country, including the rice crop stubble burnt in the fields in North India.
Domestic UPS Brands to Push Growth & Demand for the Increasingly Matured Indian Market
This UPS industry is growing swiftly, both in terms of size and demand, given the fact that it is no more a luxury item. With the digitization revolution also happening in rural and semi-urban areas, the demand for uninterrupted power supply for various tech devices is expected to grow exponentially from these areas also. As an immediate alternative power source for every office and shop, the domestic UPS manufacturers are also seeing a big uptick in demand.
Making the Solar Switch can be expensive and challenging. A lot of banks now offer loans and monetary assistance while getting your house, office and industry equipped with solar energy harnessing devices.
