Renewable Energy Demand & Capacity
Overall Target: -
500 GW of non-fossil electricity capacity by 2030. 
Solar: -
Target of 280 GW, with an estimated annual potential of 5,000 billion units. 
Wind: -
Target of 140 GW by 2030, including 30 GW offshore projects. 
Energy Storage Goals 
By 2031–32:-
 India will need 73.93 GW of energy storage.
Breakdown: -
This will be a mix of 26.69 GW of pumped hydro and 47.24 GW of battery storage.
Trend: -
Storage-linked renewable tenders increased from 16% of capacity in 2019 to 43% in 2024, highlighting the focus on 24/7 supply.
Green Hydrogen Targets
Production Goal:-
 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen per year by 2030. 
Associated Renewable Capacity:- 
This target requires the development of approximately 125 GW of new renewable energy capacity. 
Investment: -
The 2030 targets are expected to attract over ₹8 lakh crore in investment. 
Key Initiatives & Challenges
National Goals: -
 India is working towards becoming an energy-independent nation by 2047 and achieving Net Zero emissions by 2070. 
Infrastructure Needs: -
A substantial electrical infrastructure is needed to support green hydrogen production from renewable energy. 
High Costs: -
Green hydrogen production costs are currently high (₹397–₹560 per kg), largely due to capital investments in electrical systems. 
    India is a global leader, ranking 4th in total installed renewable energy capacity, 4th in wind power capacity, and 3rd in solar power capacity worldwide. 
.   As of August 2025, India's solar module manufacturing capacity reached 74 GW, and its solar power capacity crossed 108 GW, a 41-fold increase since 2014. 
    India achieved the goal of 50% non-fossil fuel-based power capacity well before its 2030 target.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan     Japan has developed a technology that allows houses to literally lift off the ground during earthquakes, protecting them from damage.    This is achieved using a system of compressed air and sensors that inflate an airbag under the house, lifting it a few centimeters during tremors. The house then gently settles back down when the shaking stops.      Japan has developed innovative earthquake-resistant technology that allows houses to lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage. This is achieved through systems like the one developed by Air Danshin, which uses compressed air to lift houses on airbags. When sensors detect tremors, the airbag inflates, raising the house a few centimeters and preventing it from shaking violently with the ground.    More detailed explanation: Airbag Technology:- Air Danshin has pioneered the use of large airbags placed b...
