AI can help manage power sector complexity as renewables grow: IEA expert

Integration of AI can help manage complexities in the power sector, including in India, where the share of renewables is expected to grow in the years to come, an expert from the International Energy Agency (IEA) said. "...We are seeing a very strong trend of increasing complexity of the energy sector at large, specifically the electricity systems. So why is it becoming more complex? One is that in general the electrification is rising," Siddharth Sigh of IEA said while speaking at the AI Impact Summit in the national capital. During a panel discussion on Monday on AI for Power -- Accelerating the Clean Energy Transition -- the energy expert said, the end use of energy is more compared to other fuels. There is greater variable renewable electricity for the system, which was never the case in the past. Most of the other sources of electricity were stable, that is no longer the case. Now with solar and wind, the share of variable renewables is expected to be sizeable by the end of th

Essar's Green Mobility eyes 30k clean trucks, 100 charging hubs in India

Essar Green Mobility is targeting to deploy 30,000 LNG and electric trucks supported by a network of 100 alternative fuel and charging hubs across the country as part of India's largest clean freight initiatives, an official said. The expansion is expected to cut around one million tonnes of CO2 annually from freight operations - a key contributor to transport emissions - marking a significant step in decarbonising the logistics sector. "The transition away from diesel will happen only when clean alternatives match the operational and economic realities of freight movement. That is the gap we are addressing," said B C Tripathi, Operating Partner - Energy, Essar Group. The plan integrates vehicle manufacturing, fleet operations and fuelling infrastructure to create a fully scaled clean freight ecosystem. Essar says this end-to-end model will help address high upfront costs and infrastructure bottlenecks that have constrained adoption of low-emission freight technologies in India's .
