Mumbai: In a boost to India's clean-energy and climate action efforts, NTPC and IIT-Bombay have successfully completed drilling the country's first geological well in Jharkhand to test the feasibility of underground carbon dioxide (CO2) storage. The drilling of a second well in the vicinity has. . CCUS refers to reducing atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide. Here are three things to know about the concept, how the Indian government has viewed it, and the debate over it. CCUS projects have been criticised over their cost and viability. (Pixabay) In her Budget speech on Sunday (February 1). . The Union Budget 2026-27 allocates Rs 20,000 crore to advance Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) technologies in heavy industries. This investment aims to bridge the gap between pilot projects and large-scale systems.

Scientists have developed a sunlight-powered reactor that directly captures CO2 from the air and transforms it into sustainable fuel. Unlike traditional carbon capture methods, this device requires no fossil-fuel energy, making it a game-changer for the climate crisis. . NASA has developed a new technology that can convert the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (C02) into fuel by using solar-powered, thin-film devices. Metal oxide thin films are fabricated to produce a photoelectrochemical cell that is powered by solar energy. It may sound like magic, but it's pure science.

With the continuous advancement of solar energy production, mathematical models for predicting the effects of planting agricultural crops under PV panels that are solely used for solar power generation would be beneficial in order to shorten the time required prior to practical implementation.
Crops suitable for planting under fixed PV systems, along with the crop growth parameters, should be identified. Agrivoltaic systems must water the plants on a daily basis. Material corrosion should be monitored since moisture under the solar panel may affect the plant structure.
PV power plants account for 94.20 % of ground-mounted PV power plants, with the remainder made up of solar roof tops (5.58 %; Europe, 2018) and solar floating panels (0.22 %; Gamarra and Ronk, 2019). The total required land area for ground-mounted PV power plants is 2201.890 ha (Ong et al., 2013).
Photovoltaic (PV) panels reduced plant species diversity. PV panels increased vegetation biomass. PV panels increased soil water content and decreased soil available phosphorus content. Soil water content affected plant species diversity on the PV farm. Soil available phosphorus content affected plant community distribution.
Positions Bharti Infratel as a pioneer in green telecom infrastructure, adopting wind power innovation at scale. This innovative approach leverages tower-mounted wind power generation to deliver reliable. . The CCDC Wind Initiative has significantly enhanced wind energy development, leading to 48. The agreement boosts ACME Solar's PPA-signed portfolio to 5,630 MW. Realme has introduced two new smartphones, the Realme 16 5G and Realme 16 Pro 5G, in Vietnam. . In FY2025 (April 2024- March 2025), approximately 23,832 MW of solar capacity and 4,151 MW of wind capacity were added in India. “Solar capacity increased by 68.

In FY2025, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat together accounted for 82% of India's wind installations. In terms of state wise solar installations, Rajasthan (6,431 MW), Gujarat (3,268 MW), and Maharashtra (2,146 MW) were the leading states with significant large-scale solar installations in FY2025.
It is pertinent to note that India has secured the fourth position globally in wind and solar power capacity as of 2023. India is also ranked fourth in terms of installed renewable energy capacity.
Gujarat has emerged as the national frontrunner, with installed capacity rising to 12,677 MW by March 2025 from 11,722 megawatts (MW) in March 2024 — an annual growth of 8.14 per cent. Tamil Nadu, long seen as India's wind energy pioneer, maintained its second-place status, registering a steady 10.71 per cent growth to 11,739 MW from 10,603 MW.
As on 30 January 2024, India's cumulative wind power capacity stands at 48.16 GW. Objective: Facilitate wind energy development through centralized data collection and research. Provide accurate wind resource assessment for better site identification. Promote private sector investments and public-private partnerships in wind energy projects.
Marking a significant milestone in its emissions reduction journey, PSA Mumbai is now India's first 100% renewable energy-powered container terminal following the commission of its 7. 8 megawatt (MW) solar farm with O2 Power.
