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.

Time to Focus on Biomass

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.
