Alternatives to Lithium-ion Batteries
The demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has surged due to cost reductions and technological advancements. However, concerns remain about their energy density, cycle life, safety, and resource-intensive manufacturing. Alternative technologies like sodium-ion, solid-state, and flow batteries are emerging, but decisions should consider more than cost parity, including other performance factors.

Understanding the Cost of Storing Electricity
Energy storage systems (ESS) are key to low-carbon energy transitions but lack standardization, making cost comparisons challenging. While installation costs, based on storage capacity, quantify initial investments, they overlook important factors like usage patterns and technology aging. Thus, installation costs are not an ideal metric for comparing ESS with non-storage energy generation solutions.

Net-zero…for corporates
By November 2021, over 350 corporations globally had committed to net-zero pledges, crucial for nations to meet their climate targets. Corporations use the Greenhouse Gas Protocol to calculate emissions in three categories: Scope 1 (direct emissions from company operations), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy), and Scope 3 (indirect emissions from the supply chain and employee activities).

Net-zero…for countries
At COP26, Prime Minister Modi pledged India will achieve net-zero emissions by 2070. By November 2021, over 80% of global emissions were covered by net-zero pledges. Net-zero means balancing emitted and removed greenhouse gases. This series explores the implications of net-zero targets for countries and corporate entities, focusing first on national commitments.

Vehicle Emission Norms in India
A study estimates that 18% of deaths and a 1.4% GDP loss in 2020 were due to air pollution in India. In Delhi, transport contributed 13–18% to pollution during peak months. Despite low vehicle ownership, stricter emission norms are essential. The next part explores India's vehicle ownership regulations.

Vehicular Emissions in India
India, the fourth-largest greenhouse gas emitter, contributes 7.08% of global emissions and has some of the world's worst air quality. Transportation plays a key role in pollution, being the fastest-growing carbon emitter. As India moves toward electric vehicle adoption, this series explores vehicular emissions and regulatory norms.

The Role of Blockchain Technology in the Power Sector
Blockchain technology is a distributed ledger that manages transactions across participants securely, transparently, and immutably. It eliminates intermediaries, reducing transaction costs. Transactions are authenticated through digital signatures and stored across peer-to-peer networks. Blockchain platforms are categorized into public, private, and consortium, based on data accessibility and permissions.
