Technology in solar power transforms Indian energy sector
Shashank Agarwal, MD, Salasar Techno Engineering, shares his views Renewable energy or solar energy is no longer a choice for increasing power generation capacity. It has become imperative to integrate a highly technological infrastructure to generate solar power and meet high energy demands. Being one of the most affordable producers of solar energy, the country […]
Bright Future Of Hydrogen Fuel Cells In India
Road transport today is responsible for a significant and growing share of global anthropogenic emissions of CO2. Moreover, it is almost entirely dependent on oil-derived fuels and therefore highly vulnerable to possible oil price shocks and supply disruptions. Improving road transport requires all these issues to be addressed. Introducing alternative transport fuels and vehicles will […]
‘Best Is Yet to Come’ for Energy Storage Technology
