What standards for agrivoltaics?

The technology which combines solar PV panels and agriculture is gaining ground. IEC Standards for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems already exist, but more might be required, dealing with some of the more specific issues relating to agriculture.

How is India’s power infrastructure evolving amid global supply chain shifts? 

With renewable capacity expanding, grid upgrades underway, and policies fostering local supply chains, India is navigating a complex but promising energy transition. 

Australia’s green hydrogen plan faces water shortage

Green hydrogen is touted by some as the future – a way for Australia to slowly replace its reliance on fossil fuel exports. The energy-dense gas has the potential to reduce emissions in sectors challenging to decarbonise, such as steelmaking and fertiliser manufacturing.

India’s emerging role in EV battery recycling: Creating a circular economy

India is well-placed to advance the e-mobility circular economy in Asia against the backdrop of the fast-growing market and recycling strategies. Adopting the 5Rs—Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Remanufacture, and Recycle—can help in reducing resource depletion and waste.

Powering a greener future through India’s clean energy transition 

As India adds more intermittent renewables like solar and wind to its energy mix, modernising the electricity grid becomes a priority. Grid expansion, integration of battery storage systems, and digital monitoring tools are critical to accommodate fluctuations in generation and demand.
