Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Jodhpur have developed nanocomposite catalytic materials for artificial photosynthesis to produce high-purity hydrogen. In the patented method, the researchers harness natural sunlight to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen using a highly recyclable catalyst. The team has now developed a series of catalysts that can efficiently produce hydrogen under ambient conditions.
India has presented its long-term low-emissions development strategy at COP27, outlining plans to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070. Leaders of India's clean energy transition met at EnergyScape to discuss the way forward. The conclave specifically promoted the use of electric vehicles, major climate investments and green hydrogen production.
India added 1.2 gigawatts (GW) of rooftop solar between January and September 2022, an 11% drop compared to the same period last year. The decline in installations was mainly due to rising solar module costs and uncertainty over the list of approved modules and manufacturers during the period.
The Saint-Nazaire wind farm is located 12 to 20 kilometers off the west coast of France. Consisting of 80 turbines, it will provide the equivalent of 400,000 homes with clean energy annually. The project is jointly owned by EDF Renewables and EIH Sarl, a subsidiary of Enbridge Inc.
The Energy Investment Program aims to help countries in the region identify and develop investable energy projects and transition to clean energy. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Mines and Energy Zorana Mihajlović stated that investment in new energy capacity, efficient green energy transition and enhanced regional connectivity are the most important factors for Serbia to achieve energy security. The project will initially focus on increasing the potential for investment in improving energy and water utility operations and management.
SolarDuck has been selected as the exclusive supplier of Offshore Floating Solar ('OFS') technology with integrated energy storage in RWE's bid for the HKW VII offshore wind farm. The winning bid will enable the large-scale implementation of hybrid OFS power plants. Delivering the project will allow it to scale faster and reap the associated cost efficiencies, SolarDuck said.
