India perfectly situated to join Europe's green hydrogen supply chain: Stefan Kaufmann

• India is perfectly situated between Germany and Australia, and can contribute to Europe's green hydrogen supply chain Stefan Kaufmann said at the Economic Times Global Business Summit Green hydrogen is climate-neutral hydrogen produced from renewable sources of energy such as wind and solar.
• Though Europe has a goal to produce around 100 GW of green hydrogen by 2030, the continent will have to import more green hydrogen than it is exporting in the near future, said Kaufmann, former hydrogen commissioner of Germany and advisor to ThyssenKrupp "That is why we have to look outside of Europe-in those regions of the world that are rich in wind and solar power," he added.
• That's where India fits in well, he said.
• "An important message that gives us confidence is that the costs of transporting hydrogen are almost negligible in view of the favourable production conditions in regions with an abundance of sun and wind-such as India.
• We talk about transport costs of less than 10% of the end price of the hydrogen," he said.
• The government of India, as a part of its national green hydrogen mission, plans to manufacture 5 million tonnes annually by 2030.

Research: Solar panels on agricultural land are suitable for wildlife habitat

• (The Conversation) Australia's renewable energy transition has fuelled the construction of dozens of large-scale solar power projects (PLTS).
• My recent research examines whether PLTS can be used to support the conservation of native species in an area.
• In Australia, protected areas such as national parks cover only 9 per cent of the total area.
• The vegetation that grows between the solar panels also serves as a route for animals to travel , a breeding ground, as well as shelter for wild animals.
• Even so, we need more studies to understand the various potentials of this convoltaic PLTS.
• Step forward We already know the benefits of renewable energy in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
