Carbon markets operate on trust: stakeholders must believe that the emission reductions credited are real, measurable, and permanent. Inconsistent methodologies, poorly monitored projects, and a lack of transparency have undermined confidence in certain markets. As discussions advance at COP30 in Belém, establishing universally accepted standards and accountability frameworks will be essential.

The world is projected to retire over 11 million tonnes of lithium-ion batteries each year by 2030. India may contribute nearly 2 million tonnes by 2030, not only due to electric vehicles, but also because of an exponential level of consumption of consumer electronics and stationary storage.

Paired Power’s modular microgrid targets is assembly-free remote industrial and agricultural applications and rural electrification for Indigenous communities.

As most imported battery cells are not designed for India’s conditions, localization of battery design and strict adherence to AIS-156 and BIS safety standards is absolutely critical.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.

A modern grid must balance growing demand from new sources like electric vehicles (EVs) with the intermittent supply from renewable sources like solar and wind power. AI-powered smart grids use sophisticated algorithms to forecast power demand and match it with fluctuating renewable generation in real time.

The Approved List of Models and Manufacturers for solar wafers (ALMM List III) could enable solar manufacturers that establish wafer capacity early to achieve superior margins in FY2029/30, as wafer demand is expected to align with broader market demand thereafter.

With renewable energy now making up nearly half of our installed power capacity, storage is the key to making clean energy truly dependable. On a national level, large-scale energy storage projects will be vital for balancing the grid and ensuring a steady flow of power, even when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun isn’t shining.

Carbon as collateral represents a practical financial innovation that can influence the pace of sustainable adoption in India. It assigns clear monetary value to environmental benefit and integrates this into consumer lending models. With appropriate regulatory backing and reliable accounting systems, the idea holds potential to expand credit availability, reduce cost barriers and support national climate commitments while creating long term economic opportunities.
