Insolation Green Energy Private Limited has received a purchase order to supply solar photovoltaic (PV) modules for NTPC’s Khavada site in Gujarat.
The order, valued at Rs 2.08 billion, includes 150 MW of 550 Wp solar PV modules, with execution planned for the fiscal year 2024-25.
Inox Wind Limited (IWL) has secured an 87 MW order from Continuum Green Energy for its 3 MW Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs). This repeat order will be executed on turnkey basis, with IWL providing multi-year operations and maintenance services post-commissioning. The projects are slated for Gujarat and Rajasthan. This addition brings Continuum’s total orders with IWL to approximately 700 MW and elevates IWL’s order book to over 3.4 GW, marking its highest level to date. …
A research team at Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bangalore, led by Prof. Kanishka Biswas, has made a groundbreaking discovery where the local crystal structure symmetry decreases with rising temperatures, defying the typical trend of increasing symmetry with heat. This rare phenomenon was observed in the all-inorganic two-dimensional halide perovskite, Cs2PbI2Cl2. The research highlights the significance of local symmetry breaking, termed “emphanisis,” where local atomic distortions increase upon heating, while the global…
Greenzo Energy has won a hydrogen project awarded by Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) for the 2×660 MW Ennore SEZ Supercritical Thermal Power Plant. The project involves establishing a hydrogen generation plant with a capacity of 20 normal cubic meters per hour, contributing to India’s Green Hydrogen Mission. Scheduled for completion within 18 months, the electrolysers will be designed and manufactured at Greenzo’s facility in Sanand, Gujarat. With this order, Greenzo Energy’s total…
The Queensland Government, in partnership with the Smart Energy Council, has launched Australia’s leading solar panel recycling, reuse, and recovery pilot. The Solar Panel Stewardship program will implement solar panel recycling across the state, aiming to improve industry engagement with communities and establish better practices in the renewable energy sector. The pilot includes six solar panel collection sites in Capalaba and North Lakes in greater Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Rockhampton, Toowoomba, and Townsville, with a…
The Union Budget 2024–25 introduced “Climate Finance Taxonomy,” aimed at channelling capital towards climate-resilient infrastructure and practices. This taxonomy will guide investments in sectors like shipping, aviation, iron and steel, and chemicals, transitioning from energy efficiency to emissions reduction targets. The initiative aims to ensure transparent and efficient investment in genuine green projects, preventing greenwashing by setting common scientific standards. Countries like China, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka have already issued green taxonomies. India’s task force…
Two researchers from the mechanical engineering department of Dibrugarh University Institute of Engineering and Technology (DUIET), Pranjal Sarmah and Siddhartha Sankar Sarmah, have patented a hydroelectric turbine designed to generate electricity from shallow water bodies like streams and rivers. Their device, titled ‘Turbine Device for Generating Electricity in Shallow Water Flow,’ is expected to advance small-scale hydroelectric power generation without the need for extensive dams. Traditional turbines are often optimized for high-flow conditions, limiting their…
