Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a new lithium metal battery that can be charged and discharged at least 6,000 times — more than any other pouch battery cell — and can be recharged in a matter of minutes.

NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance (NETRA) has demonstrated successful hydrogen cooking with a modified cookstove using hydrogen supply from the green hydrogen plant at its campus in Greater Noida.

Greenzo Energy has unveiled its indigenously designed modular alkaline electrolyzer that can be scaled to address green hydrogen demand from industrial processes to powering entire communities.

Mitsubishi’s monobloc Hydrolution EZY can reportedly produce domestic hot water up to 60 C when outdoor temperatures reach -25 C. It is available in two versions, with outputs of 10 kW and 14 kW.

NTPC Green Energy Ltd (NGEL) has signed a memorandum of understanding for the blending of green hydrogen in the gas networks of Gujarat State Petroleum Corp. Ltd and green hydrogen mobility by setting up of green hydrogen fuelling stations in Gujarat. It has also signed an MoU with Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd to develop a green hydrogen ecosystem, including production of green ammonia, for export and domestic market.

Reliance Industries and Adani Group, which have made big investments in creating an integrated renewable energy ecosystem in Gujarat, announced their further plans for the state at the 10th Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit.

Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) announced it has received a grant of INR 100 crore (over $12 million) from Hyundai towards the establishment of a dedicated ‘Hydrogen Innovation Valley’ in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

P.G. Solar Greener says that its new panels have a thermal capacity of 1,280 Wh. They can reportedly achieve an overall dual electrical efficiency of 26%, due to an embedded cooling technique.

NTPC Green Energy Ltd has invited an Expression of Interest from manufacturers of products used in generation and storage of green hydrogen or its derivatives, to set up manufacturing facilities in Andhra Pradesh. The facilities will come up within the green hydrogen hub being developed by NTPC in Pudimadaka, Achutapuram.

Researchers in Hungary have proposed to build photovoltaic trees with a significant distance between the solar panels. The proposed sunflower-shaped design reportedly reduces shading losses between the panels while improving cooling and heat dissipation.
