  Running cars on hydrogen: A look at India’s National Hydrogen Mission India has announced a National Hydrogen Mission that will draw up a roadmap for using hydrogen as an energy source. The initiative has the potential of transforming transportation. Traditionally a slow mover in frontier electric vehicle (EV) technologies, India has made an uncharacteristically early entry in the race to tap the energy potential of the most abundant element in the universe, hydrogen. Less than four months after the United States Department of Energy announced an investment up to $100 million in hydrogen production and fuel cell technologies research and development, India has announced a National Hydrogen Mission. The proposal in the Budget will be followed up with a mission draft over the next couple of months — a roadmap for using hydrogen as an energy source, with specific focus on green hydrogen, dovetailing India’s growing renewable capacity with the hydrogen economy, government offic...

  Here are the pros and cons of hydrogen as an alternative fuel Despite its promise, hydrogen technology is yet to be scaled up. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has called fuel cell technology “mind- bogglingly stupid”. In her Union Budget address, Finance Minister announced that India will launch its National Hydrogen Energy Mission (NHEM) in 2021-22. The proposal in the Budget will be followed up with a mission draft over the next couple of months — a roadmap for using hydrogen as an energy source, with a specific focus on green hydrogen, dovetailing India’s growing renewable capacity with the hydrogen economy, government officials indicated. And while proposed end-use sectors include steel and chemicals, the major industry that hydrogen has the potential of transforming is transportation — which contributes a third of all greenhouse gas emissions, and where hydrogen is being seen as a direct replacement of fossil fuels, with specific advantages over traditional EVs. Despite its pro...

 How supercomputers and AI predict tsunami?  In recent times, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been used to forecast natural disasters and to reduce the impact of climate change. In a research paper titled ' Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning ', experts in AI point to 13 different areas where the technology can be deployed to mitigate climate change. Earthquake and its resultant tsunami is one of the most tragic environmental disasters that calls for an efficient early warning system (EWS) and a possible use of machine learning, AI's other division. Currently, tsunami EWS relies on dart buoys placed in the ocean to predict the size of the wave and its time of impact. This could soon change as a team of researchers at Japan’s Fujitsu Laboratories has developed an AI model to predict tsunami flooding in coastal areas in real-time. The team has used the world's fastest supercomputer to develop the AI model. They generated training data for 20,000 poss...

  The Hydrogen Case   Confusingly for a colourless gas, the convention is to use colours for hydrogen produced by different processes. Firstly, as mentioned, the existing grey hydrogen. Secondly, we have blue hydrogen, which would also be produced from natural gas, but with theoretically limited emissions as production would be combined with the much hyped technology of carbon capture and storage (CCS). Finally: green hydrogen, which is produced from the electrolysis of water using renewable electricity such that the net carbon emission is definitely close to zero. So why are we not immediately switching from fossil fuels to blue or green hydrogen? This is because using hydrogen as an energy source also has numerous disadvantages. First of all, for applications like mobility and heating, the required changes to the existing infrastructure will take a long time, cost a lot of money, and it’s not clear to investors how big the actual market will be. Secondly, applicat...

  IIT Madras researchers develop strategies to improve braking performance of electric and hybrid vehicles IIT Madras is building strategies to focus on improving stopping distance, ride comfort for passengers in heavy road vehicles along with meeting desired brake demand, paving the way for smooth ride comfort Indian Institute of Technology Madras Researchers develop strategies to improve the braking performance of electrified vehicles (Electric and Hybrid vehicles). This research could help implement a braking system in Electrified Vehicles, which can improve the stopping distance and ride comfort in the presence of regenerative braking. Although such strategies have been developed for lighter road vehicles, there is a lack of strategies through which the braking performance of heavy commercial road vehicles (such as buses and trucks) can be improved through ‘regenerative braking.’ The research was led by Prof. C. S. Shankar Ram, Department of Engineering Design, IIT Madr...

Apple near deal with Hyundai on autonomous cars: reports  Apple is close to a deal on producing its own autonomous vehicles in cooperation with South Korean giant Hyundai with an announcement likely as soon as this month, media reports said. A report by CNBC television, citing unnamed sources, said Apple was working with Hyundai and its Kia brand to produce the car in the southern state of Georgia. The report was the latest on the possible tie-up and Apple's efforts to develop its own vehicle using self-driving technology it has been developing for several years . A Korean media report said Apple was set to make a multibillion dollar investment in Kia as part of the deal, which could be announced February 17, and that the firms planned to produce 100,000 vehicles per year from 2024.

 Kia may assemble Apple cars Last December, Apple said it was planning to launch a self-driving car by 2024. After that, there were reports that the Cupertino-based company was talking to several automakers for a possible tie-up. About a month ago, South Korean automaker Hyundai said, "Apple and Hyundai are in discussions, but they are at an early stage and nothing has been decided." Now, a report by Wall Street Journal said Kia Motors has reached out to potential partners to assemble Apple EV cars in Georgia, US. If the talks materialise, Apple may follow the same pattern it uses to make iPhones for its EV cars. A Korean media report said Apple was set to make a multi-billion dollar investment in Kia as part of the deal, which could be announced February 17, and that the firms planned to produce 100,000 vehicles per year from 2024.

  Budget 2021: Hydrogen mission; solar energy, clean air among focus areas Centre’s clean air programme got a shot in the arm with Sitharaman announcing a fund of ₹2,217 crore for air pollution control in 42 cities   The Centre will launch a Hydrogen Energy Mission in 2021-22 for generating hydrogen from green power sources. Finance minister  Nirmala Sitharaman’s announcement of a hydrogen mission could go a long way in reducing India’s carbon footprint, experts said. According to a report titled “The Potential Role of Hydrogen in India – Harnessing the Hype” by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) released in December last year, demand for hydrogen could increase by at least 5-fold by 2050, continuing to grow in the second half of the century in India. Demand for hydrogen is at around 6 metric tonne (MT) per annum, mainly from industry sectors, such as fertilizers and refineries. This can increase to around 28 MT by 2050 mainly due to cost reduct...

Ten renewable energy trends to watch in 2021 Even after Covid-19 has wreaked havoc on almost everything else, the New Year begins with surging growth for renewable energy. “2020 was the year of positive surprises for the environment in a way that very few saw coming,” says Jeff McDermott, head of Nomura Green tech. “It was the breakout year in sustainability and infrastructure.” Growth will likely continue into 2021, fueled in part by last year’s major turning points. China has now committed to reaching carbon neutrality by 2060, putting the world’s biggest market for solar and wind power on the path to ramp up installations as it begins its next five-year plan. Some analysts have started predicting that the U.S. power sector is approaching peak natural gas. That would leave room for solar-panel installations to build on the ongoing boom. To understand what’s driving the renewable expansion—as well as what might hold it back—we’ve put together a guide to the biggest recent develo...
