Decoding the CUF-LCOH Nexus: A State-wise Assessment for India's Green Hydrogen Pathway
Green hydrogen is progressively being identified as indispensable for decarbonising the dynamic global energy landscape. Since the electricity used to power electrolysers represents the dominant component of green hydrogen production costs, streamlining renewable energy (RE) costs is central to making green hydrogen affordable and accessible. In this context, the Capacity Utilisation Factor (CUF), the ratio of actual output to the maximum possible output at full capacity, serves as a robust metric to evaluate the performance of renewable energy plants in real-time.
Nano minerals and Geomaterials for Emerging Nanotechnologies
This paper focussed on the potential of naturally occurring nano-crystalline minerals in the area of energy production, medical applications, and environmental remediation, using their unique characteri
Role of Nano-crystalline minerals in the Quest for Sustainability and Well-being economy.
This paper discusses about the significance of naturally occuring nano-crystalline minerals on the adsorption and entrapment of critical metals like rare earth and rare metals of National importance.
Unusual high Lithium concentration in dolomites associated with evaporites of Paleoproterozoic Vempalle Formation, Cuddapah Supergroup, South India
In recent years Lithium has emerged as one of the most promising critical metals driving the global green energy transition. It is extracted from geological resources including pegmatites, granites, clays, and brines. Here, we report a finding of high concentrations of Li (up to ~1000 ppm) in the Paleoproterozoic dolomite samples of the Papaghni Group, the Vempalle formation (1.9-2.0 Ga) of the Cuddapah Supergroup. High lithium concentrations are observed in samples from two drill cores in the Tummalpalle area, which is known for uranium mineralization.
