Batteries are now cheap enough to enable solar to meet 90% of India's electricity demand economically, says Ember analysis Battery storage is now cheap enough to enable solar power to meet as much as 90 per cent of India’s national electricity demand at a competitive levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) of Rs 5.06/kWh ($56/MWh) than current average power purchase costs (APPC) in most states, signalling a major shift in the country’s power economics, according to a new analysis. The report, Battery storage is now cheap enough to unleash India’s full solar potential by Ember, a global energy think tank, estimates that achieving this will require around 930 gigawatt (GW) of solar capacity and 2,560 gigawatt-hour (GWh) of battery storage, which is equivalent to 4.9 GW of solar and 13.5 GWh of storage for every 1 GW of average demand. Even at this scale, only about 5 per cent of annual solar generation would need to be curtailed. The findings come at a time when the Indian government expects the country’s peak power demand to reach a record 270 GW, even as a global energy crisis is unfolding. The US-Israel war against Iran has throttled global gas supplies, including from Qatar, India’s largest LNG supplier. While gas-based power was only 6.2 per cent of India’s electricity mix in the fiscal...

Batteries made from candle wax? Scientists just did it In the sprint toward more sustainable energy storage, researchers have made a discovery that could revolutionize how we build batteries. Dry electrode manufacturing has been hailed for years as a sustainable alternative to the solvent-intensive wet process, but its reliance on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) binders has raised major alarm bells. Owing to the solubility and high fluorine content of PTFE, its use contradicts the increasing bans on PFAS. Moreover, its poor adhesion forces manufacturers to turn to wet primer coatings, compromising many of the sustainability goals that dry processing sought to achieve. Now, a research team led by Professor Kim Jinsoo in the Department of Energy System Engineering has developed novel dry-electrode binder technology using paraffin, the main component of candles. Parafilm® M, a common laboratory sealing film, has been introduced to overcome the limitation of the dry-electrode process. Parafilm, composed of saturated linear hydrocarbons such as low-cost paraffin and polyethylene, offers excellent chemical stability due to its strong C–H covalent bonds and the large energy gap separating molecular orbitals. It is fluorine-free, cheap, and environmentally safe compared to PTFE. New Zinc-Ion battery to store grid energy Parafilm has a relatively low glass transition temperature and, thus, can be activated at...

China targets retired EV batteries, mandates digital traceability for recovery China is moving to scale and formalise its lithium battery recycling ecosystem through a new policy that prioritises infrastructure, industrial consolidation, and digital oversight. The notice sets out measures to expand collection networks, support leading recyclers, and introduce monitoring systems that mirror broader EV battery regulatory trends. A key focus is tighter integration between manufacturers and recyclers. Electric bicycle makers and lithium battery producers are being encouraged to partner with recycling firms to establish collection and temporary storage systems. The policy also underscores the role of major players, calling on China Recycling Group to expand processing capacity and roll out adaptable, region-specific recycling models. Boosting oversight of battery recycling with digital monitoring push With the latest move, Beijing is doubling down on scale in its battery recycling strategy, reinforcing the role of large recyclers as the industry shifts toward more centralised material recovery and processing within the EV sector. In parallel, regulators are introducing stronger traceability requirements. Authorities are promoting digital platforms capable of recording the source, volume, and destination of batteries at each stage of the recycling chain, improving transparency and control across the system, CarNewsChina reported. Chinese authorities also rolled out a nationwide traceability system for power batteries,...
