The demonstration plant will produce about 1 tonne of green hydrogen per day by gasifying about 25 tonnes of municipal solid waste or agri-waste per day.

This joint venture company will venture into various renewable energy and new energy opportunities including solar, wind, energy storage, green molecule, e-mobility, carbon credits, green credits, etc.

India is laying the foundations of a hydrogen economy with huge governmental support. pv magazine spoke to Jakson Green CEO Bikesh Ogra about the company’s manufacturing and production activities in light of India’s ambitious hydrogen plans and the central role electrolyzer manufacturing is set to play.

The Indo-German Green Hydrogen Roadmap outlines key strategies to encourage private sector investment, promote green hydrogen trade and export, and facilitate the exchange of information, particularly around challenging hard-to-abate sectors and certification standards.

Anil K Agrawal, founder and chief executive officer, Airox Nigen Group, spoke to pv magazine ahead of the launch of the company’s new arm Aspire Hydrogen. Led by Aniruddh Agrawal, Aspire Hydrogen will set up an integrated green hydrogen value chain in Haryana. This incidentally coincides with 30 year completion of Airox Nigen.

Laboratory testing has revealed that some negatively-doped, “n-type” tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) and heterojunction (HJT) solar modules are susceptible to ultraviolet (UV) light-related damage and degradation. That could mean trouble down the line, if modules in the field begin to show UV-related performance loss. Manufacturers are implementing solutions at cell and module level.

Scientists in India have analyzed the performance of a bifacial PV module installed on a white-painted ground surface and have found a 30-degree tilt angle outperforms all other inclinations angles in terms of power output.

Using atomic layer deposition, a research team from the City University of Hong Kong has created an an oxygen-deficient tin oxide layer to replace the more common fullerene electron transport layer in perovskite solar cells. The result is a 25%-efficient device that is able to retain around 95% of its efficiency after 2,000 h.

The battery industry is experiencing a seismic shift with advancements in prismatic cell technology, led by companies like Cornex, which promise to reshape energy storage solutions.

As the world looks to COP29, the stakes have never been higher. Climate finance, energy transitions, biodiversity, adaptation, and carbon markets—each of these issues represents a critical piece of the puzzle in the fight against climate change. Azerbaijan, as host, faces the daunting challenge of balancing competing interests while pushing for ambitious global action.
