Renewable Energy

We envisioned a renewable energy-rich future in the early 1980s and developed our strength in technologies, policies, and market designs to promote it. We focus on establishing performance benchmarks and quality standards for renewable energy technologies. We also build research partnerships and programmes with industry and academia, to develop new solutions in solar, wind and biomass energy.

कोविड -19 वैक्सीन: विश्वसनीय कोल्ड चेन के लिए सौर ऊर्जा

Mr Amit Kumar

भारत में दुनिया के सबसे बड़े टीकाकरण कार्यक्रमों का संचालन होता आया है, इसलिए यहां कोविड -19 टीके को जरूरतमंदों तक पहुंचाने में बहुत ज़्यादा समस्या नहीं होगी। लेकिन वर्तमान परिदृश्य में इस पृष्ठभूमि के आधार पर केवल एक हद तक ही ऐसा निष्कर्ष निकाला जा सकता है। इस दृष्टि से यह ठीक ही है कि नीति आयोग की ओर से गठित एक टॉस्क फ़ोर्स वैक्सीन के वितरण यानी लॉजिस्टिक्स पर ध्यान केंद्रित कर रही है। इसमें ख़ास तौर पर कोल्ड चेन पर ध्यान देना शामिल है जो वैक्सीन की गुणवत्ता बरक़रार रखने में मददगार होगी।

Giving momentum to decentralised solar power generation

May 15, 2023
| Mr Ajay Shankar
| ET Energyworld

Solar power generation at load centres where there is demand saves the need for investments in transmission. There is, therefore, a strong case for promoting decentralised solar power generation. This is now an imperative as the annual rate of solar power capacity addition has to triple if the goal of 500GW of non-fossil fuel capacity creation by 2030 is to be achieved. Notwithstanding the emphasis in favour of roof top solar, success remains modest.

Hydrogen mission may undermine climate goals

The Tribune

Even if the government meets its ambitious target of producing 10 million tonnes of green hydrogen each year, it would still only provide about 1/15th of India's energy from coal. The very idea, which runs through government documents, that India will become a major exporter of hydrogen is questionable. Analysts at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) caution that a shortage of unused land will impede solar and wind capacity construction.

Hydrogen Mission needs solid implementation

National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to make India the Global Hub for producing, using, and exporting Green Hydrogen and to assume technology and market leadership. A combination of competitive procurement and subsidy is needed to create demand for green hydrogen. With creative policy instruments used with speed, flexibility, and agility, we could be at the global frontier in this decade and at affordable costs, writes Mr Ajay Shankar, Distinguished Fellow, TERI.
