Session 6 : Powered by NHEV

Topic: Pathways to build a resilient green infra for clean mobility with renewable-powered NHEV E-highways

As we journey towards a sustainable future, our transportation system is at a crossroads. We can choose to continue down the path of pollution and congestion, or we can pave the way for a cleaner, greener tomorrow. By incorporating nature into our infrastructure, promoting electric vehicles, and designing cities that prioritize people over cars, we can create a transportation system that not only reduces emissions but also enriches our lives. Let's work together to build a future where our commute is a breath of fresh air, not a source of stress and pollution.

EVOLVING BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGY MANUFACTURING LANDSCAPE IN INDIA – INVESTMENT AND EXPORT OPPORTUNITIES

Energy Storage System (ESS) is fast emerging as an essential part of the evolving clean energy systems of the 21st century. Energy storage represents a huge economic opportunity for India. Ambitious goals, concerted strategies, and a collaborative approach could help India meet its emission reduction targets while avoiding import dependency for battery packs and cells. This could help establish India as a hub for cutting-edge research and innovation, boost its manufacturing capabilities, create new jobs, generate export opportunities, and foster economic growth.

The key points that would be pondered upon during the panel discussion are:

• Evolving technological landscape in the ACC Battery space
• Pros and Cons of various technologies and their likely adoption
• Raw material sourcing – challenges and mitigations
• Enhancements in domestic manufacturing capability and capacity – key enablers

Topic of the Master Class: 'CleanConnect™ Sample Transfer: Observation of air-sensitive materials in their native state

Abstract and discussion points: 'Thermo Fisher Scientific’s CleanConnect™ Sample Transfer technology enables the observation of air-sensitive materials such as lithium and other reactive compounds in their pristine, unaltered state. By seamlessly integrating with advanced electron microscopy tools, this solution allows for precise, contamination-free sample handling and transfer, ensuring the accurate characterization of sensitive materials without exposure to air or moisture. This breakthrough is critical in the study of materials for renewable energy, electronics, and advanced manufacturing, where even minimal exposure can compromise results. CleanConnect™ empowers researchers with the ability to analyze materials as they naturally exist, pushing the boundaries of material science and innovation.Sample integrity is preserved by the use of inert gas sample transfer

Creating a robust electric mobility ecosystem in India: from producing affordable and innovative batteries and battery packs to enhancing charging infrastructure and enforcing favorable regulations.

India is progressing in the production and technology of electric vehicles (EVs). The EV supply chain, while not yet fully established, is rapidly evolving. EV battery pack production, a key component, involves assembling individual cells into modules and arranging these modules into battery packs to power a vehicle. Currently, the country faces a shortage of crucial raw materials for batteries and relies on imported cells. However, with ongoing efforts and strategic investments in local cell manufacturing facilities, India is on the path to becoming more self-sufficient. Increasing the green energy generation capacity and establishing a reliable nationwide charging network are crucial steps towards promoting electric vehicle use in India. The government has implemented a series of policies and incentives to encourage the ongoing adoption of electric vehicles in India, instilling hope and optimism about the future of electric mobility in the country.

The discussion will focus on the current status, trends, and future potential of electric mobility in India. It will explore the challenges and opportunities in embracing electric mobility, focusing on raw material availability, battery cell investments, battery pack assembly capacity, and charging infrastructure. The discussion will also cover the role of the government in promoting EV adoption in India.
