Least cost pathway for power sector investments in Gujarat through 2030
Gujarat is one of the largest state in terms of electricity demand, with a peak load of 19.4 GW and annual electricity consumption of 116.4 TWh in 2021 which is expected to increase by 83% by 2030. RE installed capacity in Gujarat is 7.87 GW solar and 9.44 GW wind as on March 2022. RE contributing to around 28% in total electricity generation by fiscal year 2021-22.The objective of this study is to find the least-cost and operationally feasible resource mix for Gujarat to meet its load reliably through 2030. The study uses the latest RE and battery cost data, an industry-standard power system modelling platform (PLEXOS), and exhaustive analytical methods.

Supply chain solutions for critical minerals
As the demand for critical minerals increases, the Indo Pacific region will need an additional supply chain to meet demand and minimise risks associated with being reliant on only one supplier of processed minerals. MinterEllison’s workshop series brought together experts from government, industry and research sectors across Australia, India, Japan, Korea and UK to explore the challenges and opportunities for cross regional partnerships and projects across the value chain of critical minerals supply chains.

Green Hydrogen for India- A Finance and Policy Perspective: Challenges & Opportunities
Hydrogen in India is primarily used as an industrial feedstock in manufacturing ammonia-based fertilizers, petroleum refining processes and methanol. Although the current use cases are dominated within the refining and ammonia sectors, it is expected that additional demand would arise from other segments, including steel, cement, heavy mobility and the power sector. To develop a robust hydrogen economy, policymakers must understand the value chain of hydrogen – right from production to its diverse applications – including production technologies, storage, transport and distribution, infrastructure (pipelines, ports, refuelling stations), vehicular applications and electricity/gas grids. By 2030, India is expected to increase its hydrogen demand by several times across multiple sectors. Analyzing the current and emerging demand, the pace of transition to a green hydrogen-based economy will be based on two key parameters: the ease and the cost of adoption. The earliest adoption of green hydrogen is expected in refining, fertilizer production & chemical manufacturing – and in the coming decade, majority of the incremental hydrogen capacity addition could be driven by green hydrogen. Additionally, import substitution could drive large green hydrogen capacity addition (feeding into low carbon ammonia production) in sectors that import ammonia, primarily fertilizers.

Battery Ecosystem: A Global Overview, Gap Analysis in Indian context, and Way Forward for Ecosystem Development
The study is focused on documenting the status quo of battery technologies used in electric vehicles, Indian and global battery standards, and policy frameworks in India vis-à-vis global counterparts.In addition to the external environment, battery value chain elements viz. battery manufacturing, battery swapping, battery disposal, recycling, and reuse are also studied in detail to understand the technological and policy landscape in India. Owing to the nascent nature of the value chain, outputs from primary interactions have been integrated into the study to provide the picture of on ground realities.
