The rise of green hydrogen-as-a-service: How AI digital twins are powering the net-zero future
As green hydrogen scales from pilot projects to industrial supply chains, the organizations that pair AI-powered digital twins with green hydrogen-as-a-service (GHaaS) commercial structures will be best positioned to deliver clean hydrogen at competitive cost and speed.
Perovskite–silicon tandem solar cells using zinc-doped tin oxide achieve comparable performance to indium tin oxide counterparts
Fraunhofer ISE-led researchers demonstrated zinc-doped tin oxide (ZTO) as an indium-free alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) for recombination layers in fully textured perovskite–silicon tandem solar cells. ZTO delivers comparable device efficiencies of 27–28% under current-matching conditions, offering a scalable, indium-free pathway for high-performance tandem photovoltaics without efficiency loss.
From LPG uncertainty to energy resilience: Why Indian industry is turning to cleaner, more dependable fuel systems
India’s industrial sector is entering a pivotal phase in its energy transition. What was once a routine fuel procurement decision is now becoming a strategic imperative. Rising LPG costs, supply unpredictability, and increasing operational risks are prompting businesses to rethink how they power their operations — not just for efficiency, but for resilience.
Solarport launches modular PV carport series
Solarport has launched the modular PowerPark PRO PV carport series, designed to meet UK/EU parking standards and adapt to various site layouts with multiple configurations and orientations.
Managing cyber risks in the era of decentralized energy
The move toward decentralized energy resources offers resilience and flexibility in power generation, but it also introduces new complexities that demand proactive security measures.
AI-enabled hacks expose remote shutdown risk in microinverters
IT security firm Jakkaru has identified a vulnerability in microinverters from AP Systems that could enable a “kill switch” scenario, potentially shutting down tens of thousands of inverters simultaneously and disrupting grid operations.
Tata Power selects Databricks to drive data and AI transformation across its operations
Tata Power has announced the enterprise-wide adoption of the Databricks platform to accelerate its data and AI transformation, aiming to improve operational efficiency, decision-making, and digital innovation across all its business clusters.
Beyond the trilemma: Why the Global South needs a new energy framework
For decades, the “energy trilemma” – balancing energy security, affordability, and environmental sustainability – has shaped how nations think about energy strategy. For much of the Global South, it has served as a practical compass. But today, that compass may no longer be sufficient.
Indian startup launches plug-and-play hydrogen cooking unit
Indian clean-tech startup Greenvize has launched a compact hydrogen-based cooking system designed for residential and commercial kitchens. The system integrates a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser directly into a cooking unit, enabling on-site hydrogen generation from water without the need for storage or distribution infrastructure.
Solar above 60° North: The Arctic as PV’s next frontier
An IEA-PVPS report finds that solar power above 60° North is not only viable but rapidly expanding, driven by cold-climate performance gains, bifacial technologies, and rising energy security needs. While challenges like extreme seasonality, snow, permafrost, and scarce data remain, Arctic PV is emerging as a critical—and technically distinct—frontier for global solar deployment.
