Green Hydrogen - The Future of Energy

Green hydrogen will provide impetus to India’s ambitious target of 450 GW of renewable energy by 2030. Electricity requirement from renewable sources for the production of green hydrogen will drive renewable energy capacity addition to help India march towards its 450 GW target. Electricity typically accounts for 70% of the production cost of green hydrogen. Hence, surplus electricity from India’s renewable plants can augment green hydrogen economics while also protecting the grid.

Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic Made India Ready for the Last-Mile Delivery through EV

Covid-19 pandemic has also pushed the last mile delivery through Electric Vehicles. The two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments continue to dominate the Indian electric vehicle (EV) industry. Even after the Covid-19, the EV market will recover swiftly. In the EV segment, E-rickshaws, e-autos and e-two wheelers are the most promising segments for electrification in India and are expected to account for over four million units by 2025.

Technology in Solar Power Transforms Indian Energy Sector

Solar power systems significantly contribute to environmental sustainability. The other sources of energy production such as coal, oil and natural gas contribute to one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions. According to the estimates, around 85 percent of thermal energy production in the country is still coal-based which is the biggest cause of immense water and air pollution.
