Question

Ghissu Editorial · Accepted Answer

Emerging renewable technologies include high-efficiency PERC and heterojunction solar cells, taller and bladeless wind turbines, waste-to-energy and biogas, small hydro, ocean energy, battery storage and green hydrogen. In Andhra Pradesh, NTPC plans a green hydrogen hub at Pudimadaka near Visakhapatnam.

**Introduction**

India’s climate goals and 500 GW non-fossil target⟦1⟧ by 2030 make emerging renewable technologies essential, with ==Andhra Pradesh== leveraging national missions like the National Solar Mission and Green Energy Corridor to accelerate clean energy deployment and regional development.

**Emerging Renewable Energy⟦2⟧ Technologies**

1. **Advanced Solar Technologies**: PERC and HJT cells increase solar efficiency by 6-12%, benefiting ==Andhra Pradesh’s== solar parks and PM-KUSUM’s decentralized solar adoption. These technologies also improve panel performance under low light and high temperature, enhancing overall energy yield.

**Applications and Potential Impact**

3. **Bioenergy and Waste-to-Energy**: ==Andhra Pradesh’s== biomass from agriculture supports bioenergy projects under GOBARdhan and SATAT, improving rural energy and waste management. Additionally, municipal solid waste-to-energy plants contribute to urban sanitation and circular economy goals.

4. **Grid Integration and Energy Security**: Battery storage projects by ReNew Power and participation in the Green Energy Corridor boost grid stability and renewable export in ==Andhra Pradesh==. These initiatives address intermittency, enabling reliable 24/7 power supply and facilitating integration of variable renewables.

**Way Forward**

5. **Boost Indigenous R&D and Skill Development**: Increase funding for local research and implement training programs to build skilled renewable energy workforce in ==Andhra Pradesh==. Collaboration with academic institutions and industry can foster innovation tailored to regional needs.

6. **Strengthen Policy Frameworks and Decentralized Solutions**: Streamline approvals and incentivize private investment while expanding off-grid and mini-grid projects in underserved areas like ==Rayalaseema== to enhance energy access and resilience.

**Conclusion**

Emerging renewable technologies, combined with strategic initiatives and Andhra Pradesh’s resources, are pivotal for India’s sustainable energy future. Their deployment will drive economic growth, environmental benefits, and energy security aligned with national and state priorities.
