 The acceleration of the energy transition is driven by a combination of rising electricity demand, ambitious  decarbonisation targets, and the need to integrate new, variable energy sources into increasingly complex power systems. 
Key Drivers of the Accelerating Energy Transition
Rising Electricity Demand:-
 Global electricity consumption is surging due to economic development, population growth, urbanisation, and the electrification of other sectors like transport (electric vehicles), heating, and industry. This increased demand must be met by new capacity, and renewables are often the most cost-effective and fastest-to-deploy options available globally.
Decarbonisation Targets:-
 International climate agreements (like the Paris Agreement) and national net-zero pledges (e.g., India's goal for 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and net-zero by 2070) create a strong policy signal for investors and an overarching mission for the shift away from fossil fuels. These targets drive the development and deployment of clean energy technologies.
Complex Power Systems:-
 The integration of high shares of variable renewable energy (solar and wind) introduces new complexities to the grid, such as managing supply intermittency and ensuring system stability. This challenge is, in turn, accelerating innovation in related areas.
Flexibility and Storage:-
 There is a critical need for energy storage solutions (like batteries and pumped hydro) and flexible generation sources to balance the grid in real-time.
Grid Modernization:-
 The shift necessitates significant investment in modern, smart grid infrastructure, including advanced monitoring, control systems, and expanded transmission lines, to effectively manage decentralised energy resources and bi-directional power flows.
Digitalization:-
 New digital technologies, data analytics, and AI are crucial for optimizing the entire energy value chain, from production to consumption, and enhancing grid resilience against physical and cyber threats. 

The interplay of these factors is fundamentally reshaping the global energy landscape, making the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future an urgent and inevitable process. 
    India's non-fossil fuel capacity has reached approximately 242.8 GW, including 184.6 GW from renewable sources, 49.38 GW from large hydro, and 8.78 GW from nuclear energy.

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...

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
