Renewable Energy

The renewable growth in India has been, generally speaking, phenomenal. The target of reaching 500 GW by 2030 may look dauting but with the 2023 year ending with ~134 GW installed capacity for renewable energy, excluding large hydropower, and with wind making up 44.7 GW and solar 73.3 GW of it, there is need to […]

With the announcement of cabinet approval for the National Hydrogen Mission the topmost outcome anticipated is the development of green-hydrogen production capacity of at least 5 MMT (Million Metric Tonne) per annum with an associated renewable energy capacity addition of about 125 GW in the country. India achieved 172 GW of commissioned renewable energy on

Crop-residues like coconut shells, sugarcane bagasse, paddy straw etc, are good alternate sources of heat-energy, carbon and hydrogen; alternative to fossil fuels like coal, crude and shale gas & oil. Over the last 8 years, our laboratory has been involved in developing what are known as ‘thermo-chemical’ process technologies for converting crop-residues to value added

Hydrogen was probably the first chemical we learned in our middle school chemistry lectures. It was taught as the smallest and simplest of elements. Its simple structure had nothing more than an electron and a proton, making it a student-friendly chemical element. Nevertheless, little did we know that the element we had all taken for
