Author: PPD Team Date: 08/04/2025 Tata Power has received approval from the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) to install a 100 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Mumbai. The project will be completed over the next two years. The system includes advanced ‘black start’ functionality. This feature allows a quick restoration of power to key infrastructure—such as the metro, hospitals, the airport, and data centers—during grid failures. It is aimed at preventing widespread blackouts…
Author: PPD Team Date: 05/11/2024 NTPC Limited, through its R&D arm NETRA, is set to build a green hydrogen production plant that will use plasma oxy gasification technology for municipal solid waste (MSW) and agri-waste. This pioneering plant will generate high-purity hydrogen (over 99.9%) through plasma-assisted ‘oxy gasification’ of MSW-RDF/agri-waste, creating a superior synthesis gas (syn-gas). From this, hydrogen is separated using a combination of gas membrane and pressure swing adsorption techniques. This plant, which…
Author: PPD Team Date: 04/12/2024 India has 127 companies committed to net-zero targets through the science-based target initiative (SBTi), ranking sixth globally. However, only 7% of these companies are from high-emission sectors such as power, cement, metals, and mining, which collectively contribute 55% of India’s total emissions, according to ICRA ESG Ratings’ latest report. The majority of commitments come from low to medium carbon footprint industries like textiles, software, and pharmaceuticals. SBTi is a voluntary…
