India must fast-track green hydrogen based steelmaking amid metallurgical coal supply risks: IEEFA
Indian steelmakers have begun adopting green hydrogen, but this option should become an even greater priority for the country as metallurgical coal supply risks intensify.
Fraunhofer ISE achieves 30.6% efficiency for perovskite-silicon tandem based on industry-standard bottom TOPCon cell
Researchers at Fraunhofer ISE have developed a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell using a TOPCon bottom cell with standard textured front surfaces. Their results show that TOPCon bottom cells can perform comparably to heterojunction cells in tandem devices in terms of shunt resistivity, supporting scalable, cost-effective industrial production.

Strengthening India’s energy security through alternative fuels and hydrogen
India’s energy transition is not about a single breakthrough but about steady steps across multiple fronts. Ethanol has shown how supportive policy and the right technologies can deliver both farmer security and fuel stability. BioCNG can turn waste into a resource, helping both cities and villages. Hydrogen, though still in its early stages, is slowly laying the foundations of a long-term clean energy system.
