This article looks at the current policy framework on e-waste as well as policy clarity and interventions needed in order to manage impending photovoltaic (PV) waste.
India’s clean energy transition is largely driven by the ambitious target of installing 450 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy (RE) by 2030.
India’s power sector has been witnessing a large share of renewable energy (RE) being integrated into the grid.
Public health concerns have grown tremendously during the past two years because of the pandemic.
Energy is central to almost every challenge we face today — security, climate change, food production, or job creation.
Renewable energy (RE) and electric vehicles (EVs) are currently the best bet for moving towards a sustainable future.
India is the third-largest energy producer in the world and one of the top energy consumers.
As a rapidly developing nation, India is currently the world’s fourth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
India is committed to its net-zero goals by 2070, and the decarbonisation of the transport sector through vehicular electrification is a major cornerstone.
CSTEP’s storage programme has two verticals: 1) techno-economic analysis of various storage systems along with policy aspects, and 2) research and development (R&D) of novel electrode and electrolyte materials for state-of-the-art and emerging battery systems using computer simulation techniques.
Nuclear power is a crucial source of clean energy for India.
Solar Energy Research Institute for India and the United States (SERIIUS) is a joint research consortium for clean energy research.
The Version 1 (V1) (which can be accessed here) of the CSTEP’s Solar Techno-Economic Model for Photovoltaics (CSTEM PV) was built under the US-India Partnership to Advance Clean Energy Research (PACE-R) for the Solar Energy Research Institute for India and the United States (SERIIUS).
The maintenance aspect of solar installation is currently a shy topic and not adequately discussed.
CSTEP's Techno-Economic Model for Photovoltaics (CSTEM PV) has been envisioned as a continuing initiative that aims to constructively support and be in line with India’s clean energy aspirations.
